Frequently Asked Questions
Are there government rebates for commercial batters?
Yes, Australian businesses can access a range of government rebates, grants, and incentives to reduce the upfront cost of installing commercial battery systems. These programs are designed to encourage investment in renewable energy and energy storage, helping businesses save on electricity costs while supporting sustainability goals. Eligibility and availability vary by state, and some programs may have time or capacity limits.
GEM Energy stays up to date with all federal and state rebate programs, guiding businesses through the application process to ensure they maximise their savings. Our tailored battery solutions support industries including manufacturing, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, and agriculture, helping businesses reduce peak demand charges, lower electricity bills, and achieve measurable long-term benefits.
What is Peak Demand and why should my business care about reducing it?
Peak demand refers to the periods when your business uses the most electricity at once, often during busy operational hours or when running multiple high-energy systems simultaneously. Electricity providers charge significantly higher rates for this “peak” power usage, meaning even a short spike can drive up your energy bills for the entire billing cycle.
Reducing peak demand can lead to substantial cost savings, improved energy efficiency, and less strain on the electrical grid. Commercial battery storage systems are one of the most effective ways to manage and lower these charges by supplying stored energy during high-demand times. Whether you operate in manufacturing, Hospitality, Retail, Healthcare, or Agriculture, controlling peak demand is a smart strategy to cut operating costs and improve your bottom line.
How do Commercial Batteries save Businesses money?
Commercial batteries store excess energy, often generated by on-site solar panels for use during times when electricity prices are at their highest. By tapping into stored energy instead of drawing from the grid during peak demand periods, businesses can significantly reduce costly demand charges and avoid paying premium rates.
In addition to lowering power bills, commercial batteries can generate extra revenue by selling stored energy back to the grid through programs like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). GEM Energy designs battery systems tailored to each business’s energy usage patterns, helping industries from manufacturing and hospitality to healthcare, retail, and agriculture maximise efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve a faster return on investment.
How can Battery systems reduce my Business's Peak Demand Charges?
Battery systems help lower peak demand charges by supplying stored energy during the times your business consumes the most power. Instead of drawing expensive electricity from the grid during these high-demand periods, your operations run on battery power, preventing costly spikes in usage that drive up your bills for the entire billing cycle.
By strategically charging during off-peak times, often using excess solar generation, commercial batteries ensure you’re using the cheapest possible energy. GEM Energy designs tailored battery solutions that align with your business’s demand patterns, helping industries from manufacturing and hospitality to retail, healthcare, and agriculture cut costs, improve efficiency, and take control of their energy spend.
What is the ROI on Commercial Batteries ?
The return on investment (ROI) for commercial batteries depends on factors like your business’s energy usage, demand charges, electricity tariffs, and whether the battery is paired with solar. In many cases, businesses see payback within 3–7 years through reduced power bills, lower peak demand charges, and potential earnings from programs like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs).
By storing and using cheaper energy, commercial batteries deliver ongoing operational savings long after the system has paid for itself. GEM Energy designs battery solutions tailored to your energy profile, ensuring maximum efficiency and a faster ROI for industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, retail, healthcare, and agriculture. The result is a smarter, more predictable energy strategy that boosts your bottom line year after year.
Is my Business big enough for Commercial Batteries?
Commercial batteries aren’t just for large corporations, businesses of all sizes can benefit from energy storage solutions. Whether you operate a small enterprise, a growing medium-sized business, or a large commercial operation, batteries can help you manage energy more efficiently, reduce peak demand charges, and lower electricity costs.
GEM Energy assesses your business’s energy usage, operational needs, and peak demand patterns to design a tailored battery solution that delivers measurable savings and improved energy reliability. Industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, and agriculture can all see significant financial and operational benefits, making commercial batteries a smart investment regardless of business size.
Will the installation process disrupt my business operation?
No, commercial battery installations are designed to minimise disruption to your daily operations. GEM Energy carefully plans each installation around your business’s schedule, ensuring critical systems remain powered and downtime is kept to an absolute minimum.
Our experienced team manages every step, from site assessment and system design to commissioning therefor allowing your business to continue to run smoothly while we integrate the battery system. Whether you operate in Manufacturing, Hospitality, Retail, Healthcare, Education, or Agriculture, GEM Energy delivers a seamless installation experience with minimal impact on productivity and operations.
Can Commercial Businesses work without Solar Panels?
Yes, commercial businesses can benefit from battery systems even without solar panels. Batteries can be charged from the grid during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower and then used during peak demand periods to reduce costs, manage energy usage, and improve overall efficiency.
What size Commercial Battery does my Business need?
The right size commercial battery depends on your business’s energy usage and peak power demands. For example, a small business like a local café or bowls club with a monthly electricity bill of $1,500–$2,500 may only need a 10–20 kWh system, while medium-sized enterprises such as small manufacturing workshops or retail stores with bills of $5,000–$10,000 per month might require 50–100 kWh. Larger operations, including hospitals, large schools, or agricultural facilities, could need multi-hundred kilowatt-hour systems to effectively reduce peak demand charges and maximise savings.

*T&Cs: Example pricing is exclusive of GST. Pricing and STC discounts are based on a Brisbane (Zone 3) installation in 2025. To claim Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), your solar system must be under 100 kW in capacity and installed on a residential or small business property. System sizes have been rounded up to the nearest kW (e.g., a 99.9 kW system may be referred to as 100 kW). Prices are subject to change without notice. System pricing may vary based on local installation and related costs. Figures accurate as of September 2025.
*Possible savings are based on a 100% utilisation rate. This calculation factors in a 3% export paid at $0.02 per kWh and an average unit rate of $0.32 per kWh (based on the Default Market Offer). Actual savings may vary depending on your energy retailer, tariff structure, export limits, and site-specific consumption patterns.
