Commercial solar / Ballina
Commercial solar in Ballina.
Solar and battery systems from 30 kW to 1 MW for Northern Rivers businesses, sized from a two-week load study. We're based in Bonville, 221 km away.
Local to Ballina
221 km from our Bonville base.
Ballina sits in the Ballina Shire Council area, about 2 hours 43 minutes from us by road. We design, install and connect commercial systems here the same way we do on the Coffs Coast: the load study first, then a written proposal with the savings and payback shown, then our own licensed crew on the roof.
Since the 2022 floods, backup power and equipment mounted well clear of flood height are worth designing in from the start on Northern Rivers sites.
Essential Energy runs the network across Northern Rivers. We lodge the connection application and handle the paperwork, including the Small-scale Technology Certificates on systems up to 100 kW.

Ballina questions
What businesses here ask us.
Do you install commercial solar in Ballina?
Yes. Ballina is 221 km from our Bonville base, about 2 hours 43 minutes by road, and inside the 500 km we cover for commercial work. The same licensed crew that quotes the job installs it.
Who handles the grid connection in Ballina?
We do. Essential Energy is the electricity network for Ballina and the rest of northern NSW. We lodge the connection application, deal with any conditions that come back, and design the system inside the export limit they set.
How do you size a system for a Ballina business?
From a two-week load study. We fit a power logger to your switchboard, record how the site actually uses power, then design around your daytime demand, peaks, operating hours and roof. You see the savings and payback before you decide.
Is Ballina too far away for servicing?
No. Every commercial install includes inspections at one and two years, with thermal imaging of the key connections, wherever the site is. We plan those visits in with other work in the region.
