Solar energy projects built for Australia

Solar energy projects built for Australia

Australia's solar energy market is expanding rapidly, driven by ambitious decarbonisation targets and falling technology costs. Utility-scale solar now represents over 10 GW of connected capacity, with hybrid solar and battery storage systems becoming standard across the industry.

However, operators face complex challenges including grid connection constraints, policy uncertainty, and increasing focus on social-license-to-operate. Our team brings technical expertise, combined with understanding of regulatory requirements, environmental approvals and community considerations to support well planned project delivery.

What we do

Solar services across key stages of the project lifecycle

We support solar energy projects from feasibility and approvals through to design, construction phase support and asset management. Our experienced team brings the necessary engineering support and design, together with development and planning approvals expertise to support your solar project through planning design and delivery stages.

Asset management and condition assessments
Civil design and balance of plant
Construction support including temporary works and proof engineering
Geotechnical investigations
Hydrology and flood studies
Planning and approvals, including fatal flaw analysis, scoping reports and environmental impact statements
Road and access track designs
Stakeholder engagement
Structural design
Traffic and transport assessments
Worker accommodation and site compound design
Our approach

How we support solar energy projects

Integrated design and balance of plant

Integrated design and balance of plant

Solar projects require coordinated civil, structural, geotechnical and electrical infrastructure. We provide integrated balance of plant engineering solutions that account for site conditions, grid connection requirements and construction staging. Our multidiscipline expertise allows us to help optimise site layouts, design drainage and flood management systems, and coordinate structural works for substations and control buildings.
Our credentials

Our industry credentials

Our work is informed by relevant Australian standards, regulatory requirements and digital engineering practices to support delivery

Australian solar energy regulations

Australian solar energy regulations

Solar projects in Australia are typically assessed under state or territory planning legislation. We can help prepare Environmental Impact Statements, development applications that consider land use, biodiversity, cultural heritage, noise, visual impact and traffic. Our team has supported approvals for large-scale energy infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions.

Digital engineering and 3D modelling

Digital engineering and 3D modelling

We use digital engineering workflows and 3D modelling to support informed, collaborative project delivery. Visual models help clients understand how solar, civil infrastructure and ancillary buildings integrate on site before construction begins.
