Completed commercial solar projects in Western Australia

Commercial Case Studies for Perth & WA Businesses

Australis Solar’s commercial case studies show completed solar installations for Perth and WA businesses, including clubs, industrial sites and other commercial properties. The featured projects span recorded system sizes from 30 kW to 202 kW. Each new system is assessed around the site’s electricity bills, operating hours, roof, shading, switchboard, network connection and future battery or EV charging needs.

Australis Solar is a Perth-based, WA-owned solar company operating since 2008. Our local team designs, installs and maintains custom solar, battery storage, blackout backup and EV charging systems using accredited in-house installers and licensed electricians.

  • Designed around actual site usage rather than a standard package
  • Commercial solar, battery storage, backup and EV charging options
  • Local assessment, electrical installation and ongoing system support

No commercial result is assumed from a previous project. Your recommendation will depend on current site data, tariffs, network requirements and technical assessment.

Evidence for commercial decision-makers

What These Commercial Case Studies Help You Compare

A previous installation can demonstrate experience and project scale, but it should not be copied directly onto another property. Use these examples to understand the types of sites Australis Solar has worked with, then request an assessment based on your own electricity usage, premises and business priorities.

Business owners

Assess operating-cost opportunities

Understand how commercial solar may offset daytime electricity consumption and reduce reliance on grid energy without relying on a generic savings percentage.

Property and facility teams

Identify technical considerations

Consider usable roof space, shading, switchboards, metering, access, structural limitations, network connection conditions and future electrical loads.

Builders and developers

Plan solar, batteries and EV charging

Coordinate electrical infrastructure, plant locations, cable pathways, staged expansion and future battery or EV charging requirements earlier in the project.

Important: Recorded system sizes show the scale of previous work. They do not guarantee the same output, savings, equipment selection, payback period or network approval for another commercial property.

Existing Australis Solar project records

Perth Commercial Case Studies

These featured commercial case studies retain the project names and system sizes recorded on the existing Australis Solar page. Where detailed current consumption, financial or production data is unavailable, no result has been added or inferred.

Club and leisure property

40 kW

East Fremantle Yacht Club

A completed commercial solar installation for a club property in East Fremantle. The project demonstrates experience delivering a larger rooftop system within an established commercial and community-use site.

Club and recreation property

30 kW

Royal Fremantle Golf Club

A completed 30 kW commercial solar installation associated with Royal Fremantle Golf Club. The existing project PDF can be retained as supporting evidence while a future dedicated case-study page is developed.

Why no headline savings are shown: commercial savings depend on interval consumption, operating hours, tariffs, self-consumption, exports, system availability and changes in business activity. Historical claims should not be presented as a forecast for a new site. The linked historical PDFs contain estimates, not verified operating results or a current quotation.

Designed around the property and its usage

How Australis Solar Assesses a Commercial Project

Commercial solar should be designed around when the business uses electricity, not simply the maximum number of panels that can fit on the roof.

Australis Solar reviews the site’s electrical demand, available installation area, connection requirements and future plans before recommending solar, batteries, backup or EV charging.

See the commercial design process

Electricity use and tariffs

Recent Synergy bills or other retailer accounts, interval data where available, peak demand, operating hours and seasonal consumption.

Roof and installation area

Roof material, usable area, orientation, shading, structural constraints, access requirements and the location of existing equipment.

Switchboard and metering

Main switchboard condition, electrical supply, metering arrangement, protection requirements and potential upgrade work.

Network connection

Applicable Western Power connection requirements, export settings, system capacity and any project-specific technical conditions.

Battery and backup goals

Evening loads, peak management objectives, compatible battery locations and whether selected circuits need support during an outage.

Future electrical loads

Planned EV charging, equipment expansion, electrification, tenancy changes and whether the design should allow staged future upgrades.

Battery storage does not automatically provide blackout operation. Backup requires compatible equipment, an appropriate electrical design and clearly defined backup circuits. Whole-site backup may be impractical or uneconomic for some commercial properties.

A documented commercial pathway

From Site Data to a Commissioned System

The process is tailored to the size, complexity and operating requirements of the property. Larger systems may require additional engineering, network coordination, access planning and staged installation work.

Discovery and energy review

Provide electricity accounts, available interval data, site details, operating hours, known constraints and future energy plans.

Site and electrical assessment

Review the roof, shading, access, switchboards, metering, inverter locations, cable pathways and any battery or EV charging requirements.

Design and commercial proposal

Develop an appropriate system design with stated assumptions, equipment, modelled production, installation scope and relevant approval conditions.

Approval, installation and handover

Complete the agreed approval pathway, installation, testing, commissioning, monitoring setup and project documentation.

Modelled results are estimates. Actual output and financial performance can vary with weather, shading, equipment availability, tariffs, consumption patterns, exports, maintenance and changes to business operations.

Common commercial project questions

Commercial Case Studies FAQs

These answers explain how to interpret previous projects and what is required before a new commercial solar recommendation can be prepared.

What do these commercial case studies show?

They show verified project names and recorded system sizes from Australis Solar’s existing commercial portfolio, including installations for clubs, industrial businesses and other Perth and WA properties. They are examples of capability, not a promise that the same equipment, output or financial result will suit another site.

What information do you need to assess a commercial property?

We normally review recent electricity bills, interval data where available, operating hours, peak loads, roof plans or site access, shading, switchboards, metering, existing inverters and future battery or EV charging needs. For a Synergy account, a recent Synergy bill is a useful starting point.

How is a commercial solar system sized?

System size is based on when and how the site uses electricity, usable roof area, network and export conditions, budget, growth plans and the value of using solar on site. The largest system that fits is not automatically the best commercial design.

Can a commercial project include battery storage, blackout backup or EV charging?

Yes, where the site, equipment and business case support them. Battery storage can improve solar self-consumption or support selected circuits during an outage when a compatible backup design is installed. Not every battery or solar system provides whole-site backup.

Do commercial solar projects need Western Power approval?

Grid-connected projects must follow the connection and technical requirements that apply to the site. The process can vary with system size, export settings, existing supply and local network conditions. Australis Solar confirms the relevant pathway during design and coordinates the required project documentation within the agreed scope.

How much can a Perth business save with commercial solar?

There is no reliable standard saving. Results depend on daytime consumption, tariffs, self-consumption, export value, system output, financing, maintenance and changes in business operations. A proposal should show the assumptions used rather than rely on a headline saving.

What happens after installation?

After installation, the system is tested, commissioned and handed over with the agreed documentation and monitoring setup. Maintenance, fault response, cleaning, inverter replacement and future upgrades can be planned according to the site and equipment.
