We start from your daytime energy use and trading hours, then check available roof area, orientation and shading. For most Osborne Park showrooms and warehouses that run heavy loads through the day, sizing to self-consumption gives the best return because each unit used on site is worth more than exported power. If you plan to add machinery, refrigeration or a battery, we may size up. Roof type, switchboard capacity and any export limit all affect the written quote we provide after the site visit.
Larger commercial systems need Western Power network approval before they can be switched on, and this step runs in parallel with the physical install. It can add anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on your connection size, meter type and whether an export limit or meter change is required. We lodge the application early and tell you where it sits, so a delay there doesn’t leave finished panels waiting. To get moving, have a recent electricity bill and your meter details ready.
Often, but it depends on roof rights and how metering is arranged across the units. In Osborne Park’s multi-tenant complexes, you’ll usually need strata agreement on roof access and clarity on which meter the system feeds. We assess these points during the site visit so any approvals are sorted before work begins.
