Commercial Solar Tweed Heads South: 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 Tweed Heads South 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 Essential Energy 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.
The Tweed runs from the border at Tweed Heads down the coast to Pottsville and inland along the river to Murwillumbah and Uki, a mix of beach houses, river-flat towns and hinterland acreage. We look after Tweed Heads South and the surrounding suburbs of Fingal Head, Tweed Heads and Kirra, so a free on-site measure in 2486 is easy to book.

Commercial solar in Tweed Heads South: 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.
