Warehouse Solar Projects by Westsun Energy

Westsun Energy has delivered large-scale solar projects across Western Australia, helping warehouses, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities transition to cleaner, more cost-effective energy. Our track record demonstrates how businesses can significantly reduce overheads while achieving sustainability goals, without compromising operational efficiency. By partnering with us, industrial operators are not just investing in technology — they are investing in long-term energy resilience and environmental leadership.

Featured Project – Veolia Waste Treatment Plant, Bibra Lake

Westsun Energy was contracted to design and install an 894kW rooftop solar system at Veolia’s Waste Treatment Plant in Bibra Lake, a facility central to Veolia’s waste and environmental management operations. The system included over 1,600 Suntech solar panels paired with Fronius Tauro inverters and advanced monitoring technology via the Fronius SOLAR.WEB portal. Completed in under 10 weeks, the installation was carried out under strict safety standards and coordinated seamlessly with the plant’s day-to-day operations.

The new system is expected to generate approximately 1.39MWh of clean energy annually, offsetting a substantial portion of the facility’s electricity use. For Veolia, this means reduced reliance on the grid, lower operating costs, and a significant step forward in its commitment to sustainability. The project highlights Westsun Energy’s capability in delivering tailored, safe, and future-focused solar solutions for complex industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Interested in solar for your warehouse? Not sure where to start or have some questions? Here are some frequently asked questions we get from our clients.

How much can warehouses save with solar panels?

Warehouses can save up to 50 percent or more on electricity costs depending on system size, roof space, and energy demand. Solar for warehouses also provides long-term cost stability by reducing exposure to rising grid energy prices.

What size solar system does a warehouse need?

System size depends on the building’s energy usage, available roof space, and operational hours. Industrial buildings often require systems ranging from 100kW to several megawatts to meet demand efficiently.

Can solar panels power warehouses at night?

By pairing solar panels with warehouse battery storage, energy generated during the day can be stored and used after hours, covering evening operations or backup requirements.

How long do solar panels for warehouses last?

Commercial-grade solar panels generally last 25 years or more with proper maintenance. Westsun Energy provides full-service support to ensure your system delivers consistent performance over its lifetime.

Do industrial buildings benefit from solar as much as warehouses?

Yes. Industrial buildings often have large roof areas and high energy demand, making them ideal for solar installations. Solar reduces operating costs, improves sustainability credentials, and provides energy security with battery storage.
