Commercial Solar Scarborough: local, honest, done right

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 Scarborough 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. We look after Scarborough and the surrounding suburbs of Newport, Redcliffe and Kippa-Ring, so a free on-site measure in 4020 is easy to book.

  • Being close to the water, Scarborough gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

About Scarborough

Water surrounds Scarborough on three sides, with Deception Bay to the north west and Moreton Bay to the north and east. The 13.7 hectare boat harbour is one of the busiest spots, and divers know Turner Reef, an artificial reef about one nautical mile offshore. Landsborough Avenue is the main street, full of cafés. Points and beaches line the shore, from Castlereagh Point to Queens Beach.

Commercial solar in Scarborough: questions

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.

Call 0449 942 735

How 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.

Do you work with landlords and tenants in Scarborough?

Yes. We can structure the proposal so it works for the building owner, the tenant or both, including power purchase style arrangements.

Do you service Scarborough 4020 and nearby suburbs?

Yes. Scarborough is part of our North Brisbane & Moreton Bay service area in the City of Moreton Bay area, and we regularly work in Newport, Redcliffe, Kippa-Ring, Margate. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
