Commercial Solar & Battery for Car Dealerships in Sydney
Car dealerships are well suited to commercial solar, with showrooms, workshops, air conditioning and EV chargers creating significant daytime electricity demand. We design solar and battery systems around your site’s actual interval data, roof space, electrical infrastructure and EV charging requirements to maximise on-site energy use and reduce grid electricity costs which result in favourable commercial paybacks.
Why Commercial Solar Works for Car Dealerships
Solar matches dealership daytime energy demand
Showroom air conditioning, lighting, workshop equipment and EV charging can create substantial daytime electricity demand. Solar generation during business hours can be consumed directly on site, reducing electricity purchased from the grid.
Integrate solar with EV charging
Dealership EV charging can add significant daytime electrical demand. Integrating solar, battery storage and EV charging can reduce grid consumption, manage peak demand and make better use of electricity generated on site.
Demonstrate your brands commitment to EVs
You are selling electrified vehicles. A metered array and a live display in the showroom is the best form of credibility a dealer principal can use, and the OEM sustainability scorecard notices too.
What we would specify for your site
Brand agnostic. Panels, inverters and batteries chosen on warranty and serviceability, sized from your interval data.
Indicative specification for design purposes. Confirm final scope with eProjects.
One contractor, whole job
Dealership sites usually need switchboard work, sub-mains to the workshop and charger circuits handled together. We do all of it in-house, including the network application.

Will the array fit around our roof plant and signage?
Almost always. We lay the array out around skylights, mechanical plant and any branded roof elements during the site inspection, then model yield on the real usable area rather than a rough square-metre estimate.
Can we install without shutting the workshop?
Yes. Roof works happen above you and the only downtime is the switchboard changeover and grid connection, which we schedule out of trading hours.
Does solar help with our OEM sustainability requirements?
It is usually the single largest line item. Generation and consumption data is exported straight from the monitoring platform for whatever reporting format the manufacturer asks for.
We lease the site. Is it still worth it?
Often yes, if there is reasonable term left. We have structured systems around lease length and landlord agreements before. Bring us the lease dates and we will tell you honestly.
Are there rebates for dealership solar and EV chargers?
Yes. Commercial solar up to 1 MW can now earn the federal solar rebate, and EV chargers at dealerships can claim the federal DRIVEN rebate. See commercial solar rebate and DRIVEN charger rebate.
