High energy use sites feel every price rise the hardest. If your site runs pumps, cool rooms, machinery or a big daytime load, we design, install and support high-output solar and battery systems sized to serious consumption. One local Northern Rivers team, since 2008.
From a full load analysis to years of monitoring, we handle it all in-house: system design, installation, three-phase grid connection, rebates and paperwork. One local team, one point of contact, no subcontractors, so your site spends less on power and more on running.

Larger arrays and three-phase systems, installed by our own accredited team
Battery storage for peak shaving, with smart monitoring across the whole site
Grid connection, rebates and paperwork handled, then supported for years
Pumps, cool rooms and machinery run up serious demand, on a grid that keeps getting pricier and peakier.
We analyse your real demand profile, then design a high-output solar system, installed cleanly by our own accredited team.
Solar through the day, battery for the peaks, and monitoring that keeps it optimised. Backed by fifteen years of local installs, one team throughout.
Not panels on a roof. A site that costs far less to run and keeps operating when the grid doesn't.
Generate your own power through the day and draw far less from the grid at commercial rates.
Battery storage shaves peak demand and the network charges tied to it, when power costs the most.
Backup keeps critical equipment, cold storage and essential systems running through outages.
Bigger loads mean bigger savings, so a well-sized system for a high energy use site often pays back fast and returns for decades.
Four ways we design a system around your load, from a large rooftop array through to a full solar, battery and monitoring setup.

A high-output array sized to your roof and daytime load. The fastest way to start cutting a big bill.
Store the day's solar and shave the expensive demand peaks after hours, when rates are highest.
Engineered three-phase systems built for machinery, pumps, cool rooms and heavy daytime load.
Smart monitoring that keeps every kilowatt working and flags issues before they cost you.
Slide to your typical quarterly bill. We'll show an indicative annual saving and a sensible starting system size. Switch to "My business" for larger loads.

"Nick and his team were great! Super efficient, friendly and responsive. Solar was up and saving us $ in 2 weeks. Great to be able to support this local Northern Rivers business. Highly recommend!"
A few of the things high energy use sites ask before they start. Have another? Talk to a specialist.
For high-use sites, usually yes, and often more so than for a small home. The more power you draw during daylight, the more a solar system offsets at commercial rates, so bigger loads tend to mean bigger savings and a faster payback. We analyse your actual usage and give you honest numbers before you commit.
It comes down to your load, your roof or ground space, and whether you add battery storage, so there is no single price. What matters is the return: a system sized to a genuine high-use load can pay for itself in a few years and keep saving for decades. Book a free consult and we will give you real figures for your site, not a generic estimate.
Yes. We design and install three-phase and commercial-scale systems built for pumps, cool rooms, machinery and heavy daytime load, engineered around how your site actually runs.
Often, yes. Storing solar and discharging it through peak periods can shave both your peak demand and the network charges tied to it. We will tell you honestly whether a battery stacks up for your load profile, now or later.
Yes. We are based in Lismore and install for high energy use sites right across the Northern Rivers, from Ballina and Byron Bay to Casino and the surrounding region. One local team, no subcontractors.
No. One in-house team designs, installs and supports your system. The people who plan it are the people who fit it and look after it for years. Ready to talk? Request a quote or call (02) 6622 0088.
