Reduce purchased energy
Quantify solar value against when the site actually operates and what it pays.
COMMERCIAL SOLAR / BUSINESS CASE
Turn daytime demand into
a productive roof asset.
For a business, the useful question is not how many panels fit. It is how generation aligns with interval demand, demand charges, lease and roof life, network export limits, capital approval and the operating life of the site.

WHAT CHANGES FOR YOU
The operating case.
Build an approval-ready case
Separate energy, demand, export, certificate, lifecycle and financing assumptions.
Plan around operations
Address access, shutdowns, roof condition, staging and handover before construction.
YOUR OPTIONS
Compare the paths.
CAPEX
The organisation wants ownership and can approve capital.
CHECK BEFORE COMMITTINGInternal hurdle rate, asset life and maintenance provision.
Finance
Cash-flow alignment is more important than outright purchase.
CHECK BEFORE COMMITTINGTotal cost, security, term and equipment ownership.
PPA assessment
A suitable offtake and contract structure support energy-as-a-service.
CHECK BEFORE COMMITTINGR8 conditions, term, pricing, termination and counterparty obligations.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Get the variables clear.
What data do you need?
Recent bills and at least 12 months of interval data where available, plus operating hours, planned loads, roof or site plans and lease context.
Will solar reduce demand charges?
Possibly, but only where site peaks align with generation. Interval data is required before making that claim.
Can Nexen offer a PPA?
Nexen holds a current AER R8 retail exemption. Any PPA remains subject to the class conditions, site suitability, credit and commercial terms.
What the proposal
needs to establish.
- Interval-data-led feasibility
- CAPEX, finance and conditional PPA review
- Commercial electrical and network scope documented
- Named project and after-sales pathway
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The details that matter.
How quickly can Nexen quote?
A budget screen can be rapid when the data is complete. A defensible proposal may require interval-data review, roof and electrical information, network checks and a site visit.
Can solar be staged?
Yes, where switchboard, network, roof zones and future capacity are designed for staged delivery rather than treated as separate projects.
What happens after enquiry?
The project desk reviews fit, identifies missing evidence and confirms whether the next step is a discovery call, data review, site assessment or formal feasibility scope.
