From the outset Australian energy upgrades have been of great assistance even after the installation they were still there. Prices were competitive and Derek helped when little obstacles from the power supply put in a charge I wasn’t expecting. The installer was great too working in 40c temperature. My friend also engaged A E U and was pleased with the entire process and service. Give them a chance to quote and you won’t be disappointed.

AEU installed a battery to my existing solar system, as well as a battery and solar panel system at my daughter’s home. From first contact through to completion, I was confident we were getting quality products installed by qualified and competent installers. The work at both properties was completed to a very high standard, communication was terrific, and everything was cleaned up afterwards. I have no hesitation recommending Australian Energy Upgrades.

The founders' story

"Most solar companies are owned by people who chose this industry. We were already in it."

Australian Energy Upgrades was founded in 2017 by two brothers, one of whom is a licensed electrical contractor. As a family-owned team, AEU has worked in the energy industry since 2014 and operates as a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 23631). The design starts at your switchboard and usage rather than a package. The same team stays with the job from network approval to after-sales support.

Common questions

Commercial solar questions — answered

Panel, inverter and mounting warranties come from the manufacturer and vary by product, with performance warranties distinct from product warranties. AEU’s workmanship terms cover the installation itself. On top of the manufacturer product warranty, AEU backs its own workmanship for 30 years. That covers the installation — mounting, penetrations, cabling and switchboard work — for the life of the system, and it sits alongside the product cover rather than replacing it.

The expanded Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme commences 1 October 2026 subject to final regulations. VEEC figures assume $70 per certificate. Measurement and verification applies from 100 kW and is uncapped; where a system qualifies under both methods we model each and apply whichever is greater. Certificate values move with the market and are not fixed rebates — figures are confirmed in a written proposal before any commitment.

Victorian non-residential premises — councils, schools, hospitals, aged care, warehouses, offices, retail and community organisations. Site requirements: 30 kVA minimum inverter, one system per NMI, negotiated DNSP connection, and 10-year panel and 5-year inverter warranties. Handled by AEU: a Registered Electrical Contractor and VEU accredited pathway — DNSP approval, certificate creation and compliance documentation.

AEU’s published range is three to six years for outright purchase. Where your site lands depends mostly on how much generation you use during trading hours, and what you pay in demand charges.

Purchase gives you the asset and the full savings but uses capital. A lease spreads the cost and may leave a residual. A PPA keeps capex off the table but ties you to a long-term energy contract. The answer usually depends on your balance sheet rather than the system, so it’s best to seek independent advice.

Commercial solar panels no larger than 100 kW may create STCs, while power stations over 100 kW may create ongoing LGCs. In Victoria, eligible 30–200 kW systems may also receive a VEEC-based discount under Activity 47. Above 200 kW, VEU incentives run through measurement and verification project-based activities.

Generally, no. A commercial solar system participates in either the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme or the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target. Staged installations can be structured so that different stages sit under different schemes, but the boundary must be confirmed before installation.

Yes. The incentive can be claimed once per National Metering Identifier, up to 200 kW, and stages on the same NMI are treated as one system and submitted together. We recommend planning around this rule; otherwise you risk forfeiting part of the value.

Generation and fault alerting come as standard. Consumption and self-consumption depend on the metering installed, so confirm meter coverage in the proposal, along with data retention and export format.

Most of the roof and cabling work happens around you. The switchboard connection and commissioning cannot, so those need a planned outage. This should be agreed before the program is locked in.

Systems above 200 kW fall outside the deemed Activity 47 method but can still access VEU incentives through measurement and verification project-based activities, with higher evidence requirements. LGCs, VEECs and STCs can be stacked.

Generally yes, and this is commonly misunderstood. Solar systems eligible under the Victorian C&I solar activity can also claim under the federal Renewable Energy Target: STCs from 30 to 100 kW, or LGCs above 100 kW. However, a system cannot claim STCs and LGCs on the same capacity, since it sits in either the small-scale or large-scale scheme.

Despite its name, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program is open to businesses and community organisations. Batteries up to 100 kWh attract around a 30% discount when installed with solar PV under 100 kW. Where demand charges or resilience matter, model storage alongside the solar design.

A “commercial solar rebate” is not one fixed amount. Rather, it depends on the system size, the date it is installed and how much the certificates are worth at the time. AEU models the pathway for your site and shows the assumptions behind it.

The main difference is in the modelling. A commercial system is designed from interval data rather than a quarterly bill. On many sites, demand charges matter more than the energy rate. The incentives run through certificate pathways rather than household rebate schemes.

Commercial solar data supports more than an energy bill. AEU can configure reporting for Scope 2 tracking, ESG dashboards, NABERS or Green Star evidence and stakeholder reporting. Agree on methodology and boundaries with the sustainability or finance team, so that generation is represented consistently with purchased electricity and certificate treatment.

Most monitoring apps are built for homeowners. A commercial portal needs to do two things: it must tell you when a string or inverter drops out, and it must show actual generation against what the system was designed to produce. This decides how quickly or slowly you will catch a fault.

Generally yes, and this is commonly misunderstood. Solar systems eligible under the Victorian C&I solar activity can also claim under the federal Renewable Energy Target: STCs from 30 to 100 kW, or LGCs above 100 kW. However, a system cannot claim STCs and LGCs on the same capacity, since it sits in either the small-scale or large-scale scheme. Two rules are central for a staged rollout. The C&I solar incentive can be claimed once per NMI, up to 200 kW; and stages installed on the same NMI are treated as one system for VEEC creation and must be submitted together.

Despite its name, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program is open to businesses and community organisations. Batteries up to 100 kWh attract around a 30% discount when installed with solar PV under 100 kW. Where demand charges or resilience matter, model storage alongside the solar design.

No. A “commercial solar rebate” is not one fixed amount. It depends on the system size, the date it is installed and how much the certificates are worth at the time.
