Commercial Solar SA
Commercial Solar is a Smart Investment for South Australian Business Owners
Recent data shows that over 75% of South Australia's electricity is now sourced from wind and solar energy, positioning the state as a national leader in renewable energy. For South Australian business owners, this isn't just a statistic—it’s an opportunity. With rising electricity bills, generous government rebates, and increasing demand for energy independence, installing solar panels is now one of the smartest financial and environmental decisions your business can make.

Why South Australian Businesses Are Turning to Solar Power.
South Australia's abundant daylight hours, high grid electricity costs, and supportive state policies have made commercial solar an increasingly popular choice for business owners. With a well-designed solar PV system, businesses can reduce their carbon emissions, protect against electricity grid volatility, and access long-term solar savings. Whether you’re looking to offset your electricity usage, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, or simply lower overheads, a professionally installed solar power system can deliver strong ROI and help future-proof your business.

Substantial Reduction in Energy Costs
A custom-designed solar system can reduce your energy bills by 40%–70%, depending on system size and usage patterns. Many of our South Australian clients are saving tens of thousands annually.
Stability Against Electricity Price Hikes
Avoid unpredictable energy costs by generating solar energy directly from your rooftop. With more solar energy produced on-site, your exposure to market-driven electricity plan price increases is reduced.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Using clean, renewable solar power helps your business cut down on carbon emissions and contribute to South Australia's climate goals.
Business Continuity
Installing battery storage ensures you can retain excess solar energy for use at night or during power outages, supporting critical operations when the grid is down.
Commercial Solar Rebates and Incentives in South Australia
The single biggest barrier for operators exploring commercial solar is perceived cost.
South Australian businesses may be eligible for generous financial support, including:
- Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) which are solar rebates for small businesses (and homes) installing up to 100kW of solar
- Large Scale Generation Certificates (LSGC) which are solar rebates for large businesses installing above 100kW of solar
- The limitless Instant Asset Tax Write Off, introduced as a result of the Government's COVID-10 response
Factoring these business solar grants and rebates can be confusing unless you’re across the spectrum of energy subsidies available at any one point in time, but vital when it comes to money saved on your new system.
This is why so many businesses and individuals choose to partner with Choice Energy for high quality business solar: we make the process seamless, including the process of identifying and applying for relevant grants and incentives.
Feed-In Tariff
Businesses exporting excess energy back to the grid can benefit from feed in tariffs, which vary by electricity retailer. Our brokers help you secure the best rates.

Our complimentary commercial solar energy assessment process
What is a commercial solar power system?
A commercial solar power system includes solar panels that convert sunlight into usable electricity, a solar inverter to transform it from DC to AC, optional solar battery storage to hold excess solar energy for use after daylight hours, and monitoring systems to track solar energy production. While the core components are similar to home systems, commercial solar panel systems in South Australia are tailored for higher energy loads, more complex usage patterns, and specific grid requirements.
How do I choose the right solar system for my business?
Choosing the right solar system goes beyond how many panels you can fit. Our experts assess your roof space, electricity usage, and operational hours to determine the optimal system size and setup. We also factor in your electricity plan, the potential for solar savings, and eligibility for government rebates. Using Clean Energy Council-approved products ensures your system meets strict quality and safety standards.
Should my business include battery storage?
Adding battery storage allows your business to use more solar energy by storing excess energy generated during the day for evening or emergency use. This helps reduce dependence on the electricity grid, provides backup power during outages, and enhances your return on investment—especially for businesses operating beyond daylight hours.
How much does a commercial solar system cost in South Australia?
Solar system costs vary based on your usage, system size, and roof layout. Most South Australian businesses pay under $5,000 upfront after applying STC rebates and other available incentives. We conduct a free solar feasibility assessment to estimate your savings, rebate eligibility, and return on investment.
Are commercial solar panels efficient enough to go off-grid?
Modern solar PV systems are highly efficient, but unless paired with substantial battery storage, complete off grid systems are rare for most businesses. While your system can reduce energy bills by 40–70%, remaining connected to the electricity grid ensures consistent supply during poor weather, night-time use, or maintenance periods.
What is the expected lifespan of commercial solar panels?
Our quality solar panels are backed by 25-year performance warranties. We partner with top-tier brands to ensure longevity and provide ongoing support in the unlikely event of faults or warranty claims.
When does the government solar rebate end?
The federal STC program reduces each year until it phases out in 2030. Similarly, LGCs will continue to be tradeable until 2030. Installing your solar PV system sooner means securing the highest possible rebate value while the incentives are still strong.
