Thinking of solar power for your business? There’s never been a better time.

Clean, quiet and affordable, commercial solar is revolutionising the way thousands of companies across Australia do business. Solar empowers you to take one of your essential business components - your building, site or factory - and make it work even harder for you by reducing both energy costs and your carbon impact.

Making the decision to rely less on grid power is a smart way to protect your operational budget from unprecedented future energy volatility. With an energy market that continues to rise and fall, you can expect to see drastic changes to your expenses over the coming years.


Removing your reliance on the grid means having more control over your anticipated energy costs, and when combined with our other services such as tariff and demand analysis, you could soon be looking at saving thousands of dollars each month, with minimum effort.

Your high quality commercial solar system could be cash flow positive from day one

We aim to make your commercial solar solution cash-flow positive for your business by offsetting the cost through government grants and projected savings on your electricity bill.

This means, if solar stacks up for your business, you won't need to come up with a separate budget for your solution. You'll pay the same amount or less for your electricity and simply use the savings that you are generating by having solar to fund the system.

The cost savings of solar could also free up your operational budget to invest in a solar battery system when it becomes commercially viable for you. Learn more about solar batteries here.

      Commercial solar panels as a sustainable choice

      It’s a growing fact: More and more businesses and consumers are choosing to buy from or work with companies that show a sustainable practice.

      As we see this demand grow, it becomes increasingly challenging for businesses to find balance between environmentally considered initiatives, and keeping revenue margins healthy. For many small businesses, this can be the difference between a profit and a loss altogether.

Your Choice Energy system is designed to be with you for decades as a functioning part of your energy management solution.
