A major operating cost.
A significant financial opportunity.

Aged care facilities have high, consistent electricity demands, making energy a substantial and unavoidable operating cost.

From October 2026, the expanded SRES is expected to extend support to eligible commercial solar systems up to 1MW, helping reduce the upfront cost of larger projects.

With the right system and finance structure, that creates an opportunity that goes well beyond a lower power bill.

The report explores how commercial solar could help aged care providers reduce upfront investment, lower annual electricity costs and create long-term value from money already being spent on energy.
