Who We Work With
COMMERCIAL SOLAR SYSTEMS
FOR EVERY SECTOR
From small businesses to large industrial facilities — we design and install commercial solar for every type of operation across Canberra and the South Coast.
Industrial
Manufacturing & Warehouses
Large roof areas make warehouses ideal solar candidates. High daytime energy usage aligns perfectly with solar generation — dramatically reducing grid consumption and operating costs.
50–80% bill reduction
Healthcare
Medical & Healthcare
Hospitals, medical centres and aged care facilities run high baseload energy 24/7. Battery storage paired with solar reduces peak demand charges and provides blackout resilience.
40–60% bill reduction
Hospitality
Hotels & Accommodation
High hot water, HVAC and kitchen energy loads mean hospitality businesses see fast payback on commercial solar. Roof space is rarely an issue on single-storey properties.
45–70% bill reduction
Retail
Retail & Shopping Centres
Daytime trading hours align exactly with peak solar generation. Air conditioning and lighting loads mean retail solar systems deliver immediate, measurable ROI.
40–65% bill reduction
Agriculture
Farms & Rural Properties
Irrigation pumps, cold storage and processing equipment consume enormous energy. Rural solar with battery storage reduces reliance on expensive rural grid supply.
60–85% bill reduction
Body Corporate
Strata & Body Corporate
Solar for common area power, carpark lighting, lifts and shared facilities. We handle all body corporate approvals, metering, and resident communication.
30–50% common area saving

Government Incentives
COMMERCIAL SOLAR
REBATES & INCENTIVES
Government incentives significantly reduce your upfront commercial solar investment. We calculate and apply all eligible rebates in your proposal.
Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
For systems under 100kW. STCs are calculated based on system size and location and applied as a point-of-sale discount — reducing your upfront cost immediately.
Up to $15,000+
typical STC value for a 30–50kW commercial system
Large-Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs)
For systems over 100kW. LGCs are created for every MWh of renewable energy generated and can be sold to electricity retailers — providing ongoing revenue on top of bill savings.
Ongoing Income
generated for the life of the system
Instant Asset Write-Off & Tax Depreciation
Commercial solar systems are eligible for instant asset write-off under Australian tax law, plus accelerated depreciation — significantly improving your first-year financial return.

"Meta installed a 50kW system across our warehouse roof. Professional from day one — the energy modelling was accurate and we hit our projected savings within the first quarter."

"We had been quoted by three other companies. Meta were the only ones who came to site, did proper load analysis, and gave us a fixed price that did not change. Very impressed."
4 months ago
"Our electricity bills have dropped from $8,500 a quarter to under $1,800. The system paid for itself faster than projected. Could not recommend Meta highly enough."
Commercial Solar Guide
COMMERCIAL SOLAR INSTALLATION
CANBERRA & SOUTH COAST NSW
Commercial solar is one of the highest-return capital investments available to Australian businesses right now. With electricity prices at record highs, a well-designed commercial solar system typically delivers a 20–30% annual return on investment — far outperforming most financial assets.
The key difference between commercial and residential solar is scale, tariff complexity, and approval requirements. Commercial systems are sized against a business's actual load profile — not just a quarterly bill number. We analyse your interval meter data to understand exactly when you consume energy and design a system that maximises self-consumption against your specific tariff structure.
WHAT SIZE COMMERCIAL SOLAR
SYSTEM DOES MY BUSINESS NEED?
Commercial systems in Canberra and South Coast NSW typically range from 10kW for small businesses through to 500kW+ for large industrial facilities. The right size depends on your annual consumption, roof area, budget, and whether you want battery storage for demand management or blackout resilience.
As a general guide: a 30kW system generates approximately 120–130kWh per day in Canberra conditions — enough to offset $15,000–$25,000 in annual energy costs depending on your tariff and daytime usage profile.
COMMERCIAL SOLAR PAYBACK PERIOD
IN CANBERRA & SOUTH COAST NSW
Most commercial solar installations in the ACT and NSW achieve payback within 3–5 years when government incentives are applied. After payback, the system generates essentially free electricity for 20+ years — dramatically improving your business's long-term cost structure and property value.

FAQ
COMMERCIAL SOLAR
