Commercial solar for Dakabin businesses
Cut daytime operating costs with a commercial system designed around your load profile, delivered on time and on budget.
Why Dakabin homes choose RS Energy for commercial solar
Businesses use most of their power during the day, which is exactly when solar produces. That makes commercial solar one of the fastest paybacks in energy, often 3 to 5 years. RS Energy has delivered large-scale installs across Queensland for tier one clients, and we give Dakabin businesses the same standard with a family company's attention.
We start with your interval data or bills, model your load profile, then design a system that maximises self-consumption within Energex connection rules. Since 1 October 2026 the upfront small-scale rebate (STCs) covers commercial systems up to 1MW, where it used to stop at 100kW. For mid-sized systems that can take a meaningful chunk off the upfront cost, and we will show you exactly what your business qualifies for.
North Brisbane and Moreton Bay run from Albany Creek and Strathpine through North Lakes and Narangba to Caboolture and Bribie Island, taking in the Redcliffe Peninsula and acreage around Samford and Dayboro. Our commercial solar work in Dakabin also covers neighbouring Kurwongbah, North Lakes and Narangba, all within about 3km.
- Newer homes in Dakabin usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

Dakabin: a local snapshot
A compact suburb of under 6 square kilometres, Dakabin is squeezed between the North Coast railway on the west and the Bruce Highway on the east. Trains from the local station run to Brisbane, Ipswich, Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast. Weekend sport centres on Bob Brock Park, which has two cricket ovals and three soccer pitches used by North Pine United. The city is about 34 km south.

Commercial solar in Dakabin: questions
Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
Call 0449 942 735How quickly does commercial solar pay back?
Businesses that operate during daylight hours typically see payback in 3 to 5 years, because almost all the solar is used on site at your full tariff rather than exported.
What size system does my business need?
It depends on your daytime load. We use your interval data or 12 months of bills to model usage and size the system so very little goes to waste.
Is there a rebate for commercial solar?
Yes. From 1 October 2026 the federal small-scale rebate (STCs) applies to systems up to 1MW, up from the old 100kW limit, with a fixed five-year deeming period. Larger systems can still use the large-scale scheme instead. We include the rebate in your quote.
Who have you installed for?
Projects include a 100kW system for Aldi Hervey Bay, 100kW for James Hardie Cooroy, 64kW for BP Gatton, 60kW for Telstra, 100kW for Metal Works Brisbane and 70kW for Bellissimo Coffee in Coorparoo.
