Commercial Solar
Solar is the cheapest electricity your business will ever buy. We design, install and commission systems sized to your actual electricity use — rooftop, ground mount, or shade structure over the car park.
Once it's switched on, the system generates free power every sunny hour for over 20 years per warranties. Typical commercial sites see a 4–5 year payback, then decades of cheap, predictable electricity on top of that.
Commercial Batteries
Solar can't help at 7pm. A battery can. It stores the electricity your site generates but can't use straight away, then releases it where it earns the most — through peak tariff hours, into critical equipment when the grid drops, and back into the wholesale market when prices spike.
Every battery we install is connected to PowerXchange, our own platform, so the system runs itself and earns its keep on top of the savings.

Not Just Solar. A System.
Acacia integrates solar generation, battery storage, bio-diesel backup, and our powerXchange control platform into one behind-the-meter system that responds to your load, your tariff, and the wholesale market in real time.
Help & Support
Frequently Asked Questions
If you don’t see your question here, we’re always available to help. Get in touch to discuss your needs, explore opportunities, or clarify how we work.
What does Acacia Energy do?
We help Australian businesses reduce energy costs, generate new revenue, and reach net-zero through tailored solar, battery and bio-diesel solutions. As a registered AEMO market participant, we don't just install assets — our proprietary PowerXchange platform autonomously operates them in the National Electricity Market on your behalf.
Do you install solar and batteries?
Yes — from 100kW SME systems to multi-megawatt industrial installations. We're technology-agnostic and work with leading battery brands including Sungrow, Jinko, Evo, Pixie, Chelion, Gelion and PotusEdge. We also deploy grid-synchronised bio-diesel generators for peak shaving and market participation.
What return can I expect?
Our customers regularly see total energy bill reductions of around 60%, with payback periods typically in the 3–5 year range. Exact returns depend on your energy profile and which services you take — a free energy audit gives you a defensible number before you commit.
What makes Acacia different from a regular solar installer?
A typical installer sells you panels and walks away. We treat your assets as an ongoing revenue-generating system through our OBE platform, AEMO market accreditation, and Generation Management as a Service (GMaaS). Your assets pay you back, not just offset a bill.
Who do you work with?
Australian businesses across cold storage, food and beverage, wineries, manufacturing, mining, agriculture and community energy. Clients include Fonterra, Noumi, Andrew Peace Wines, De Bortoli, Austco Polar and Fresh Freight Tasmania. We work with everyone from SMEs to large enterprises.
How can my renewable assets earn revenue?
Through four streams: the AEMO wholesale spot market, FCAS (Frequency Control Ancillary Services), DNSP demand response payments, and avoided peak demand charges via peak shaving. Acacia is the market participant — you just collect the share.
