Newcastle's Leading Residential & Commercial Solar Installers
Newcastle's Leading Residential & Commercial Solar Installers
Port Stephens NSW
Tomago is not a residential suburb. It is one of the Hunter's most significant industrial precincts, home to the Tomago Aluminium smelter, Forgacs Shipyard, Valley Longwall International and the Tomago Sandbeds water treatment works. The businesses and operations based here are serious energy users, and commercial solar at this scale is a different conversation to a residential rooftop.
Elite Power Group design and install commercial solar and battery storage systems for industrial and
commercial operations across Tomago and the broader Hunter industrial corridor including Hexham, Tarro, Beresfield, Kooragang Island
and the Pacific Highway commercial strip north of Newcastle.
Tomago Solar Installers
Commercial solar at Tomago scale means designing around real load profiles, demand tariffs, three-phase supply, large roof areas across industrial buildings, and in some cases the kind of energy requirements that sit well outside what a standard residential solar company is equipped to handle. We do this work regularly and we approach every Tomago-area project with a proper site and load assessment before any system is sized or quoted.
For businesses operating from the Tomago precinct and the surrounding industrial corridor, we design and install commercial solar PV systems, commercial battery storage and energy management solutions. The brands we work with at commercial scale include Sungrow SBH, BYD Battery-Box, Trina Storage Elementa, Sungrow PowerTitan and Tesla Megapack for larger capacity requirements.
We Handle Commercial Scale: The operations based in and around Tomago are not small. Large roof areas across industrial sheds, three-phase supply, complex switchboard configurations, Ausgrid embedded network requirements for systems above certain thresholds, and demand tariff structures where peak shaving is a meaningful part of the financial case. This is the kind of commercial work we are set up for and have completed across the Hunter region.
Load Profile Analysis Before Anything Else: A commercial solar system that is not sized to the actual load profile of the business is at best underperforming and at worst a poorly justified capital expense. We conduct a proper energy audit and load profile analysis as part of every commercial quote. The system size, battery configuration and any demand management components come from that, not from a standard formula.
SAA-Accredited Commercial Installers: Our team holds full SAA accreditation for commercial solar and battery installations. Every system we install in the Tomago corridor qualifies for the appropriate STC or LGC scheme under the Renewable Energy Target, and we manage the Ausgrid connection and commissioning documentation in-house.
Large-Scale Battery and Demand Management: For operations in the Tomago area running significant peak demand charges, commercial battery storage integrated with peak shaving control can reduce demand charge components that make up a substantial portion of commercial electricity bills. We design and install systems with this specifically in mind, using Sungrow SBH, BYD Battery-Box commercial range and where the scale justifies it, containerised BESS solutions from Trina Storage and Sungrow PowerTitan.
Every project we take on in the Tomago corridor starts with a load profile assessment. The system that comes out of that process is sized to the business, not a standard package.
Industrial Warehouses and Sheds: large unobstructed rooftops are some of the best solar environments available. We design and install multi-hundred kilowatt and megawatt-scale systems across industrial facilities.
Light Industrial and Commercial Premises: for operations running 50kW to 500kW of solar, we size systems around actual operating hours and tariff structure. A correctly sized system directly offsets the highest-cost grid electricity the business purchases.
Commercial Battery and Demand Management: battery storage configured for peak shaving addresses demand charge components independently of solar generation. We install Sungrow SBH, BYD Battery-Box and containerised BESS from Trina Storage Elementa and Sungrow PowerTitan.
Ground-Mount and Hardstand Systems: where roofs are limited, shaded or not rated for panel loading, ground-mount arrays on adjacent land or car parks are a practical alternative. We design and install ground-mount systems where site conditions make them the right call.
We provide a range of installations and solutions to the Tomago, Hexam, and Heatherbrae area, including:
Large-format solar PV systems for industrial and commercial operations across Tomago and the Hunter corridor. Designed around your actual load profile and energy consumption data. We work with JA Solar, Trina and TW Solar panels with commercial inverters from Fronius, Sungrow and GoodWe across all commercial system sizes.
Sungrow SBH, BYD Battery-Box commercial range, and for larger scale projects, containerised BESS solutions from Trina Storage Elementa and Sungrow PowerTitan. Integrated with peak shaving and demand management for operations where demand charges are a significant component of the electricity bill.
For commercial operations on demand tariffs, battery storage configured for peak shaving can reduce demand charge components independently of solar generation. We design and commission demand management systems as a standalone capability or integrated with solar.
While Tomago itself is an industrial precinct, the nearby residential suburbs of Hexham, Tarro, Beresfield and Woodberry all fall within our regular service area. Homeowners in these suburbs can contact us for residential solar, battery and EV charging installations.
Commercial EV charging infrastructure for fleets, depots and business premises across the Tomago corridor and surrounding industrial area, including DC fast chargers and AC fleet charging configurations.
Commercial and industrial electrical work across the Tomago area, carried out by our licensed electricians. Heat pump and solar hot water systems for commercial premises where hot water loads represent a meaningful part of total energy use.
We install solar and battery components like Tesla Powerwall 3 and Sungrow batteries, as well as TW and Trina solar modules for completely reliable operation for the long-term. Explore the components we install below.
Offering between 3-20kW of solar inverter solutions, Fronius offer a range of inverter solutions for simple maintenance & operation.
Consisting of single and three-phase inverter options, Sungrow offer an all-new generation of solar inverter technology.
Gain premium solar energy generation with Trina solar PV modules, quality panels ready for installation.
TW offer cost-effective, budget-friendly, and reliable solar PV panels for homes and commercial properties.
Totaling 20-40kWh of energy storage capacity, the Sungrow SBH is designed for flexibility and scalability.
Take advantage of Tesla Powerwall 3 and scalability with expansion packs now available for homes and businesses.
Choose from 8.1kWh to 21.7kWh, and expand all the way up to 66.2kWh with variable stacking options for
properties in NSW.
Ranging from 6.3kWh - 15.8kWh, there are energy capacity options for those wanting future-proofed energy storage solutions.
Sungrow offer flexible and scalable energy storage with their SBR series, ranging from 6.4-25.6kWh, depending on your requirements.
Solar Installers Tomago
Tomago's industrial identity is defined by scale. The aluminium smelter, shipyard and heavy engineering operations here represent a concentration of industrial activity that is unusual in a region of Newcastle's size. Commercial solar at this end of the industrial corridor requires proper engineering, proper documentation and an installer who has done this type of work before.
Solar Installers Hexam
The commercial and industrial suburb closest to Tomago, Hexham sits at the junction of the Pacific Highway and the New England Highway with a range of warehousing, distribution and light industrial operations that suit commercial solar well. Daytime operations, large roof areas and commercial tariffs make the economics straightforward.
Solar Installers Tarro
A smaller suburb between Tomago and Beresfield with some light industrial activity and established residential properties. Our team works across both the commercial and residential parts of Tarro as part of our regular Tomago corridor operations.
Elite Power Group service the entire Port Stephens region, providing expert solar, battery, EV charging, and electrical solutions for homes and businesses.
