Commercial solar & battery storage in Brisbane.
Tier-1 PV, BESS and EV charging engineered for Brisbane businesses by ESQ — Brisbane HQ, Queensland project delivery.
01 — Brisbane market
Brisbane is ESQ's home market. We design, engineer and install commercial solar, battery storage and EV charging across Greater Brisbane and South-East Queensland — from the Port of Brisbane and Trade Coast to Ipswich manufacturers, Sunshine Coast agribusiness and Gold Coast hospitality. Every system is engineered against Energex network constraints, Queensland's evolving battery rebate landscape and SEQ's summer peak conditions.

02 — Why Brisbane is different
Local engineering factors we design around.
Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program
The QLD Battery Booster closed in May 2024; the federal program now delivers roughly 30% off eligible batteries up to 50 kWh. ESQ models it into every quote and manages certificate assignment.
Summer peak & humidity
SEQ modules see high ambient temp + humidity. We spec high-temperature-coefficient TOPCon modules and IP66 string inverters to avoid derating.
Cyclone-region considerations
North of the Sunshine Coast, structural fixings and cyclone bracket ratings become material. Our engineering scope includes wind-region assessment on every install.

05 — Brisbane FAQs
Common Brisbane questions.
- Do you install commercial solar across all of Brisbane?
- Yes. ESQ is Brisbane-headquartered and services all of Greater Brisbane and South-East Queensland — CBD, Trade Coast, Yatala, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, and the Sunshine and Gold Coasts.
- Can Brisbane commercial sites still claim a battery rebate?
- The Queensland Battery Booster closed in May 2024 and has not been replaced. Commercial sites access the Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program STC uplift on batteries up to 50 kWh, plus instant asset write-off on larger systems. ESQ confirms current eligibility at quote stage.
- What's the typical payback for Brisbane commercial solar?
- Well-designed SEQ commercial systems typically pay back in 2.5 – 4.5 years, driven by high PV yield, meaningful demand-charge reduction and STC value.
- Do you install rooftop PV on tilt-up warehouses in Yatala or Berrima?
- Yes — this is our most-installed asset class. We deliver 100 kW – 3 MW arrays across SEQ industrial estates, with structural sign-off on every job.
- Can you deliver projects into regional Queensland?
- Yes — ESQ delivers across regional QLD including Toowoomba, Wide Bay, Central Queensland and Far North Queensland, including Ergon Energy network territory.
