System sizes
Designing the right system for your business
Standard commercial solar systems are available in a range of kilowatt (kW) ratings to indicate the system’s capacity for energy output, in conditions of unobstructed sunlight.
- Suited to commercial sites with low to medium energy usage – with annual electricity costs of around $15,000. For example, small to medium businesses, government buildings such as childcare centres and community centres.
- Suited to establishments that use less than 350 kWh per day.
Incentives
Small-Scale Generation Certificates are available for systems under 100 kW.

Suited to secondary schools, universities, health care, aged care, large industrial and manufacturing sites, transport and logistics.
Incentives
Large-Scale Generation Certificates help subsidise the cost of solar systems above 100 kW.
Products
EnergyAustralia is committed to transitioning to cleaner energy and ensuring a fair and equitable world. Our focus on fairness and equity extends to our customer service, workforce, suppliers we work with, and our supply chain. Read our modern slavery statements and supplier code of conduct.
Solar panels
Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells use light energy from the sun to generate electricity. The cells are made up of mono or polycrystalline silicon or thin-film and are connected to each other electrically to a specific voltage and in parallel to get an amperage.
Warranties
25-year product warranty on all modules
25-year performance warranty on all modules
Suntech has a 20 year history of research and development of photovoltaic panels (PV). Now used in over 100 countries around the globe and known for their durability and quality. Excellent weak light performance, lower operating temperatures and a host of other innovative features.
With over 30 years’ experience and commitment to sustainability, SunPower’s panel portfolio offers a range of solutions, each designed for optimal performance, maximum savings and long-term reliability.
SunPower Maxeon panels generate more power from the same roof than conventional panels, delivering up to 35% more energy from the same space over the first 25 years*.
