Commercial Solar Brisbane
NETCC Approved Seller | SAA-Accredited Designers & Installers
Cut energy costs. Lower emissions. Keep operations steady.
Quality Energy designs and installs commercial and industrial solar for businesses across Brisbane and South East Queensland. We manage design, grid approvals, installation, finance, and ongoing care. We also resolve power-quality issues so your new solar system works smoothly with existing plant and equipment.
Why Brisbane Businesses Choose Quality Energy
Accredited and Proven
We are a NETCC Approved Seller with SAA-accredited designers and installers. Your system is designed and built to current standards, with consumer protections that put your business first.
Our team documents each design, grid application and test result. You know exactly what has been installed and how it should perform.
35+ years in Electrical Engineering
Quality Energy has worked in industrial and commercial electrical engineering for more than 35 years. We understand switchboards, protection, motors and process loads, not just solar hardware.
This experience helps us foresee issues before they appear on site. Projects are delivered safely, on time, and with long-term support.
Engineered for Queensland Sun
Brisbane and SEQ have their own DNSP rules, export settings and environmental conditions.
We design to local DNSP requirements and Queensland climate. That includes harsh UV, heat, humidity and storm exposure. Your connection process is smoother and your export settings are right the first time.
We’re Not Just Commercial Solar Installers
Many Brisbane facilities already run close to their kVA limits. New solar can expose underlying power-quality issues if it is not planned carefully.
Quality Energy can integrate:
- Power Factor Correction (PFC) Equipment
- Active Harmonic Filters (AHF)
- Static Var Generators (SVG)
These solutions help you use less kVA, gain switchboard headroom, and protect sensitive loads. Motors, refrigeration, lifts and compressors operate more smoothly.
End-to-end Delivery
You work with one partner from feasibility to maintenance. We coordinate with your facilities team, DNSP and other contractors.
This reduces internal administration for you and shortens project timeframes.
Warranties That Last
We work with tier-one manufacturers with a strong local presence. Warranties include:
- Panels: 15–30 years
- Performance: 25–30 years
- Inverters: 10 years
- Workmanship: 10 years
We provide clear documentation so your investment remains protected.
How Quality Energy Has Helped Queensland Businesses Save Thousands with Commercial Solar
Zarraffa’s Coffee Mount Gravatt
Approximately 30kW rooftop solar installed at Zarraffa’s Mount Gravatt store. Calculations show this system will save the business approximately $12,432 annually, and provide an internal rate of return of 39%.
Arctic Ice
Solar tailored for energy-intensive cold-chain operations. Combined with power-quality upgrades to support large refrigeration loads and reduce kVA penalties. Production stays steady while energy intensity falls.
Insight for Brisbane Building Owners With Tenants
A 97.6kW solar system was installed, along with a 225kVAr power factor correction system, and energy efficient LED high bay lights in this factory. The owner and tenant worked together to create a more energy efficient building, and reduce running costs for tenant, creating a win-win for both parties.
What You Can Expect When You Work With Quality Energy for Your Commercial or Industrial Solar Project
Clear Numbers Before You Commit
We analyse interval data, tariffs and roof or ground conditions. You see forecast savings, payback, carbon impact, and maintenance allowance before any decision.
Assumptions are explained in simple terms so you can present them to boards, tenants or investors.
Right-Sized Design
We model yield, self-consumption and export limits using your specific load profile. Systems are sized to match your operating hours and available roof or ground area.
The result is a system that suits your business, not a generic package.
Commercial Solar Financing
We can structure finance to align with your budget and reporting needs:
- CAPEX purchase for fastest lifetime savings and full asset control.
- Operating-expense power purchase agreements with no upfront cost and off-balance-sheet treatment in many cases. Read our guide to power purchase agreements.
- Low-interest loans and leases to spread payments over time.
We aim to match incentives and repayments to bill savings so benefits appear quickly on your P&L.
Grid Connection Done For You
We prepare grid applications, protection settings and commissioning plans for the local DNSP. Our engineers liaise directly with the network where required.
You avoid redesigns and project delays, and your system connects compliantly.
Tidy, Safe Installations
Installation is staged around your operations. We coordinate shutdowns, access and safety permits with your team.
Our installers keep work areas clean and leave roofs and plant areas tidy. At handover, you receive training and clear safety documentation.
Monitoring and Maintenance
We provide live dashboards and set up proactive alerts. Performance is checked against the original design so issues are picked up early.
Planned inspections and cleaning can be built into your
solar maintenance schedule, helping your system maintain savings over time.
Avoid Power Quality Issues in Your Solar System by Working With Quality Energy
Industrial and Commercial Solar Installations
Ideal for weekday daytime loads such as offices, warehouses and processing lines. Export-smart designs allow you to comply with local rules while prioritising on-site use.
You reduce energy bills without needing to change how your team works day to day.
Batteries can store daytime excess, shave demand peaks and support critical loads during short outages.
This can be valuable for cold storage, manufacturing and essential services in Brisbane where continuity matters.
Solar + Power Quality Solutions
For sites with large motors, VSDs, compressors or lifts, power quality is critical. We can combine solar with power quality equipment to stabilise voltage and current during motor starts, reduce kVA demand and power factor penalties, and protect equipment from harmonics and voltage swings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we export solar to the grid in Brisbane?
In many cases, yes. Export capacity depends on DNSP assessment, system size and local network constraints.
We design for high self-consumption first, then enable export where permitted and beneficial.
Will solar affect our power quality?
Solar systems use inverters, which can introduce harmonics, residual DC current and some unbalance into your electrical system, especially if they’re not integrated correctly. Modern inverters include filtering and, with proper design, monitoring and power-quality equipment where needed, these effects are kept within acceptable limits and can be fully managed.
What is a typical payback?
Many commercial systems see simple paybacks in the 3 to 6 year range. Actual results depend on your load profile, tariff structure, available roof area, and whether batteries or power-quality equipment are included. We model your case specifically so you can make an informed decision.
Industries in Brisbane Getting the Most from Solar
We work with a wide range of commercial and industrial customers, including:
- Food and beverage processing, cold storage and logistics
- Manufacturing and engineering
- Retail and multi-site franchises and fuel sites
- Commercial offices and mixed-use buildings
- Education, healthcare and community facilities
- Industrial landlords seeking tenant retention and ESG gains
If your site uses significant daytime electricity, we can model whether solar, batteries and power-quality upgrades make sense for you.
