Commercial Solar, Battery Storage & EV Charging in Fyshwick

Commercial energy systems designed for the way your business operates.

Polygon Energy is a Canberra electrical contractor (ACT licence 2021893), a NETCC Approved Seller and an SAA-accredited designer, and won NECA’s 2023 Small Business Project of the Year. We design and install commercial solar, battery storage and EV charging for Fyshwick businesses.

Fyshwick’s warehouses, workshops, showrooms and service businesses have different electricity needs. Polygon Energy assesses commercial solar, batteries and EV charging against your interval consumption, tariffs, roof condition, electrical capacity and operating plans, so the proposed system fits the site rather than a standard package.

Solar, battery and EV charging solutions for Fyshwick

Commercial solar for rooftops and car parks

Commercial solar in Fyshwick can offset daytime electricity use in warehouses, workshops and showrooms. We compare smaller systems with 100 kW–1 MW options using interval demand, roof suitability, self-consumption and export assumptions. Solar carports may suit sites with constrained rooftops, subject to civil, traffic and electrical assessment.

Commercial battery storage

Batteries can shift surplus solar into later operating hours, reduce selected demand peaks or support defined essential circuits. These are different applications: outage backup requires suitable islanding and protection, and savings depend on the site’s tariff, usable capacity and controls.

Fleet and workplace EV charging

Vehicle schedules, parking turnover and existing site demand determine the charging design. Managed charging can prioritise fleet vehicles and distribute demand; customer-facing charging also needs an assessment of dwell time, access and utilisation.

Fyshwick's commercial energy context

The ACT Inner South District Strategy forecasts approximately 24,400 jobs in Fyshwick by 2050.

These are cumulative postcode records, not a count of active Fyshwick business systems.

Evoenergy’s 2025 planning report describes earlier Fyshwick feeder upgrades and a separate Section 38 shortfall forecast at 10.5 MVA by 2030. For larger projects, early supply, export and maximum-demand assessment matters.

Commercial solar and battery incentives

energy saving

Federal solar certificates

From 1 October 2026, eligible solar systems between 100 kW and 1 MW can create STCs with a fixed five-year deeming period. We compare STCs with REGOs for each project, because the better option depends on your financial and emissions-reporting goals.

Federal batteries

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program covers qualifying batteries of 5–100 kWh nominal capacity, with certificates on the first 50 kWh of usable capacity. A battery paired with a 100 kW–1 MW solar system needs project-specific confirmation, which we obtain before quoting.

ACT Sustainable Business Program

Eligible ACT businesses can get a free assessment and co-funded support of up to

$10,000

for energy or water upgrades

and up to

$3,000

for an eligible EV charger

Commercial property and project arrangements

Owner-occupiers

can align electricity savings with asset life and expansion plans

Tenants

need consent, roof rights, metering and
end-of-lease terms

Strata and multi-tenant

sites also need shared-infrastructure and benefit-allocation decisions before detailed design.

How a commercial energy assessment works

Review energy use

Examine 12 months of bills, interval data, tariffs and operating requirements

Inspect the site

Assess roof or land, switchboards, metering, supply and Fyshwick feeder capacity

Model options

Compare solar generation, storage dispatch, charging schedules and network conditions

Confirm feasibility

Review connection approvals, incentives, commercial structure and delivery risks

Plan delivery

Set out installation, commissioning, monitoring and handover requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, if it is installed on or after 1 October 2026 and meets the scheme’s eligibility rules. Systems between 100 kW and 1 MW use a fixed five-year deeming period, and we confirm eligibility against the Clean Energy Regulator’s rules before quoting.

No. A correctly sized battery can lower selected demand peaks, but it won’t remove demand charges entirely. The saving depends on its discharge power, controls and your tariff windows.

Yes, with owner consent and clear agreements covering roof rights, lease term, metering, insurance, maintenance and savings.

No. The forecast doesn’t block new connections. Evoenergy assesses each site’s proposed exports and loads.

Not until the roof has been assessed. Structural condition, remaining roof life, safe access and any asbestos remediation must be resolved before installation.

Only for nominated loads. A compliant backup design can keep selected circuits running; motor starting currents and the required run time are modelled first.

Yes, for eligible businesses. The ACT Sustainable Business Program and federal STCs both apply to commercial sites, and approval and current conditions are checked before work begins.
