Companies We have Worked with
Commercial Solar Systems for Your Organisation
At Australian Energy Upgrades, our approach to designing commercial solar systems centres on three crucial factors: your daytime energy consumption, the available roof or ground space, and the potential for strong financial returns.
We are committed to deeply understanding your specific energy requirements. This allows us to tailor commercial solar solutions that not only fit your space and maximise energy efficiency, but also offer significant financial benefits.
Cut your power bills and get better returns over time
Solar lets you shift more of your energy use to cheaper and self-made power. With the right-sized setup, you’ll use less electricity from the grid during the day, which means lower bills and less exposure to those creeping energy prices.
Many businesses start seeing savings right away with payback usually landing within a few years, although the best way to know for sure is to speak with us. We’ll look at your usage patterns, roof layout, peak times, and future plans to model your return on investment clearly before anything goes up on the roof.
Meet sustainability goals and tick off ESG reporting
These days solar can be a key part of hitting carbon and ESG targets for many businesses. Installing solar can help lower your emissions and support compliance with Scope 2 reporting under sustainability frameworks. We work with businesses chasing NABERS ratings, Green Star certifications or internal carbon goals, and we can supply the performance data and documentation you need for reports.
See what’s going on with real-time monitoring
Every system we install includes full remote monitoring, so you can see what’s being generated, what you’re using, and what’s going back to the grid. You’ll have a clear picture of how your system’s performing, plus insights to help you fine-tune usage and spot extra savings.
Take the strategic step towards sustainable success for your business
Boost your NABERS and Green Star ratings
Solar can help lift your building’s NABERS or Green Star performance, which not only reduces emissions but also adds to property value and makes the space more attractive to tenants. Our systems are designed with compliance in mind and can easily slot into wider upgrade projects.
Drive your business towards sustainable growth and lasting savings with the right commercial or industrial solar panel installation.
