With electricity prices rising and sustainability under the spotlight, more Hamilton businesses are switching to commercial solar to reduce operating costs and cut carbon emissions.
At 2E Electrical, we’ve helped local farms, warehouses, offices, and retail buildings across the Waikato install future-proof solar systems. Whether you’re a large commercial site or a small business wanting to reduce overheads, solar makes financial sense.
Why Go Solar for Your Hamilton Business?
Here’s what commercial solar can do for your business:
- ✅ Slash energy bills – Solar offsets daytime electricity use (peak business hours)
- ✅ Tax benefits – Capital investment may qualify for depreciation and solar-specific funding
- ✅ Green branding – Show customers and investors you’re committed to sustainability
- ✅ Backup power options – Add battery storage to protect against outages
- ✅ Long-term ROI – Panels last 25+ years with minimal maintenance
What Makes a Site Suitable for Solar?
Before installing a commercial solar system, we assess:
- Roof pitch, structure, and sun exposure
- Energy usage profile (day vs night)
- Metering and export rules from your lines company
- Any generator, EV charger, or three-phase loads
- Export limits (especially over 30kW systems)
💡 For large systems, we also liaise directly with your electricity retailer and network provider to ensure compliance.
Real Impact: Hamilton Businesses Saving with Solar
We recently installed a 30kW system on a warehouse in Frankton and a 20kW system on a rural office just outside Cambridge. Both clients have seen 30–40% reductions in daytime power costs, with estimated payback periods under 5 years.

Is Finance Available for Commercial Solar?
Yes. Many of our Hamilton-based clients fund their systems using:

We can guide you through the options and connect you with local finance partners.
