Orkestra: The real state of C&I solar in ANZ

Overview

Having only launched into the market in 2022, Orkestra is now the leading Australian-based B2B energy modelling software company supporting businesses around the world to unlock clean energy solutions.

In this article we will cover

ZEN has proudly partnered with Orkestra since 2022 to support all of our commercial clients with their accurate, fast and trusted financial modelling. We have seen real success in being able to map and predict the ROI of solar projects through this accurate modelling tool.

Last month, Orkestra shared the findings of their inaugural C&I census where they asked 100+ businesses and industry voices across Australia and NZ for their latest insights on the solar category and client needs. We’ve collated the top 3 findings from their C&I Solar Industry Census Report - packed with real project data and insights. We've highlighted 3 of the most relevant slides for you here, but recommend downloading Orkestra's report for the full presentation.

  1. The C&I solar sector is evolving from panel-only systems to more diverse solar offerings.
  2. C&I battery demand is booming, with 82% of businesses reporting increased demand from their clients over the last year.
  3. Customers require battery paybacks of less than 7 years to justify investment, and excitingly businesses are now getting close to offering that on their projects.

Battery costs have come down by 30%
Solar battery space has grown significantly over the last 12 months
