Organisations that run multiple sites can deliver commercial solar across their whole portfolio through Zool Energy under a single agreement. Zool funds, builds, operates and guarantees the systems, commercial solar, battery storage (BESS), VPP and EV charging, with one counterparty accountable for every site. Priority regions are NSW, QLD and VIC, with Australia-wide capability.

Why multi-site is a different problem

Rolling out solar across one building is a project. Rolling it out across a portfolio is a coordination problem, and most of the risk lives in the coordination.

For a CFO or a facilities lead, the problem isn't the panels. It's owning an estate of unrelated agreements.

What to look for in a multi-site partner

Criterion Why it matters across a portfolio
Single agreement across sites One contract to negotiate, govern and report against, not one per site
Single counterparty accountable One party responsible for funding, building, operating and guaranteeing every site
Unified reporting and operation The estate run and reported to one standard, not site-by-site
In-house EPC Engineering, procurement and construction under one roof, so delivery is consistent
Full technology stack Solar, BESS, VPP and EV charging from the same partner as needs grow
Long-term operational cover Someone answerable for performance for the life of the agreement, at any site

How Zool delivers across a portfolio

One agreement. A multi-site operator can bring their portfolio under a single agreement with Zool rather than stitching together a contract per location.

Unified reporting and operation. Zool operates and reports across the portfolio to one standard, so a board sees the estate as a whole rather than a stack of disconnected projects.

One counterparty accountable. Zool funds, builds, operates and guarantees each system, so accountability for every site sits with one party, for the life of the agreement.

Two commercial paths sit under this:

System sizes run from 30kW to 2MW+, and the full stack (commercial solar, BESS, VPP, EV charging) is delivered end to end.

Proof

Zool is a corporate partner to Clubs NSW and Clubs QLD, the peak bodies for a sector where operators frequently run multiple venues. Nameable site references include City Golf Club Toowoomba and Carina Leagues.

Zool also runs a multi-site aged-care rollout, a portfolio delivered under one agreement, with unified operation and a single counterparty across every facility.

Frequently asked questions

Can Zool deliver solar across sites in different states? Yes. Priority regions are NSW, QLD and VIC, with Australia-wide capability, all deliverable under a single agreement.

Do we need a separate contract for each site? No. A portfolio can sit under one agreement with Zool, with unified reporting and one counterparty accountable for every site.

Who is responsible for a site once it's operating? Zool. Under the Total Care model, Zool funds, builds, operates and guarantees each system and carries the performance risk for the life of the agreement.

What if we want to own the assets outright? Zool delivers on a capex EPC basis as well as the Total Care model, so ownership can be structured to suit the portfolio.


Next step: book a site assessment, or upload a recent electricity bill and Zool will model your portfolio.
