Real install, real numbers
Mid Coast Trucks, 95 kW solar and 50 kWh battery
A truck dealership with heavy daytime load. Two weeks of logging first, then a 95 kW roof-mounted array with 50 kWh of battery to carry the afternoon peak.

Commercial solar / Dorrigo
Commercial solar in Dorrigo.
Solar and battery systems from 30 kW to 1 MW for Dorrigo Plateau businesses, sized from a two-week load study. We're based in Bonville, 52 km away.
Local to Dorrigo
52 km from our Bonville base.
We do a lot of work on the plateau: insurance jobs replacing hail-damaged panels, and full-house battery backup for when the grid drops in a storm.
Dorrigo sits in the Bellingen Shire Council area, about 48 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.
Plateau weather is harder on a system than the coast: hail, storms and outages are part of life, which is why battery backup is so often part of a plateau job.
Essential Energy runs the network across Dorrigo Plateau. We lodge the connection application and handle the paperwork, including the Small-scale Technology Certificates on systems up to 100 kW.

Dorrigo questions
What businesses here ask us.
Do you install commercial solar in Dorrigo?
Yes. Dorrigo is 52 km from our Bonville base, about 48 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 Dorrigo?
We do. Essential Energy is the electricity network for Dorrigo 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 Dorrigo 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 Dorrigo 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. It's a short drive from our base.
