Commercial Solar & Battery Solutions
Smarter energy solutions for Australian businesses
Riverside Solar specialises in the design and installation of commercial solar, battery storage and integrated energy systems across Greater Sydney and regional NSW.
Every commercial site is different. Energy consumption, operating hours, available roof space, existing infrastructure and network capacity all influence the right solution.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all package, Riverside Solar designs each commercial system around the individual site, its energy profile and the objectives of the business.
From initial assessment and network approval through to installation, commissioning and ongoing support, we manage the complete solar and battery project.
Commercial Solar
Turn your roof into a business asset
For businesses with significant daytime electricity consumption, commercial solar can substantially reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid.
Riverside Solar designs commercial solar systems around the site’s actual energy profile rather than simply installing the maximum amount of solar the roof can accommodate.
Our commercial solar solutions include:
Where interval consumption data is available, we can analyse how much energy your business uses and when it uses it, to help determine an appropriate system size.
The result is a commercial solar system designed to deliver meaningful energy savings while considering the future requirements of your business.
Commercial Battery Storage
Take greater control of your energy
Commercial battery storage gives businesses greater control over when and how energy is used.
When combined with solar, excess generation can be stored instead of exported to the grid and used later when solar production falls or site demand increases.
Riverside Solar designs commercial battery systems around the site’s energy consumption, solar generation, peak loads and operational requirements.
Depending on the application, battery storage can provide:
Increased solar self-consumption
store excess solar generation and use more of the energy produced onsite.
Reduced grid consumption
use stored energy when the business would otherwise be purchasing electricity from the grid.
Peak demand management
battery storage can assist in reducing periods of high grid demand where appropriate.
Backup power
maintain critical loads or larger sections of the facility during a grid outage, depending on system design and available capacity.
Intelligent energy management
coordinate solar generation, battery storage and grid supply automatically.
Future expansion
where appropriate, systems can be designed with future battery or solar expansion in mind.
Solar + Battery
One integrated commercial energy system
Solar and battery storage can provide significantly greater flexibility when designed as one integrated energy system.
During daylight hours, solar generation supplies the immediate loads of the business. Excess generation can then charge the battery rather than being exported unnecessarily. Stored energy becomes available later when site consumption exceeds solar generation.
The system can intelligently manage energy between:
For sites requiring additional energy resilience, suitable systems can also incorporate backup power and generator integration.
Riverside Solar designs the complete system around the site’s consumption profile, operational requirements and available infrastructure.
Commercial Backup Power
Keep important parts of your business operating
For many businesses, the financial impact of a power outage extends well beyond the cost of electricity.
Commercial battery systems can be designed to maintain selected critical loads or provide substantially greater backup capability during a grid outage.
Riverside Solar can assess the loads that are important to your operation and design the system accordingly.
Depending on the business, this could include:
For suitable projects, Riverside Solar can also integrate:
This creates a more comprehensive energy system capable of managing both everyday energy consumption and unexpected grid outages.
Commercial EV Charging
EV charging that works with your energy system
As commercial fleets and employee vehicles transition to electric, EV charging can become a significant new energy load.
Riverside Solar can incorporate EV charging into a wider solar and battery strategy rather than treating it as an isolated addition.
Solutions can be designed for:
Where required, charging infrastructure can incorporate load management to help manage the available capacity of the site.
Integrating EV charging with solar and battery storage can also allow businesses to use more of their own solar generation to charge vehicles.
Existing Solar System Upgrades
Get more from your existing system
Already have commercial solar? You may not need to start again.
Riverside Solar can assess your existing installation and determine whether additional solar, battery storage or other energy upgrades can be integrated with the existing system.
This can be particularly valuable for businesses whose energy requirements have increased since their original solar system was installed.
Depending on the site and existing equipment, upgrades may include:
Commercial Energy Assessment
The right system starts with understanding your energy usage
Commercial solar and battery design should begin with understanding how the site actually consumes electricity.
Where available, Riverside Solar can review your electricity bills and interval consumption data to understand both the amount of energy being consumed and when that consumption occurs.
We then consider:
Energy consumption
how much electricity does the site consume and at what times?
Available solar capacity
how much suitable roof or installation area is available?
Existing solar
can existing equipment remain and be incorporated into the new system?
Battery requirements
how much storage capacity and battery power is appropriate?
Existing infrastructure
what existing infrastructure needs to be considered when designing the system?
Network requirements
what connection, export or network limitations apply?
Future energy requirements
is the business expecting additional equipment, EV charging or increased energy consumption?
This allows Riverside Solar to develop a solution based on the actual requirements of your business rather than a predetermined package.
Network Applications & Compliance
From design through to commissioning
Commercial solar and battery installations can involve more complex network and compliance requirements than smaller residential systems.
Where electrical modifications are required specifically to complete the solar or battery installation, these works can be incorporated into the overall project.
Riverside Solar manages the requirements associated with the solar and battery project, including where applicable:
Industries We Work With

Why Riverside Solar?
Commercial solar without the one-size-fits-all approach
Riverside Solar focuses on solar generation, battery storage and integrated energy systems.
We approach commercial projects as complete energy systems rather than simply a collection of individual products. That means considering how solar generation, battery storage, grid supply, backup requirements and future energy loads can work together.
From initial assessment through to network approval, installation, commissioning and handover, Riverside Solar provides a single point of contact for the complete project.
