Bunnings Warehouse
Discover how Bunnings partnered with Smart Commercial Solar for a 16.1MW solar and 500kwh storage to achieve their sustainability goals across their sites.
www.smartcommercialsolar.com.auHere’s a quick update on Bunnings solar.
- Latest milestone: Bunnings has publicly announced reaching 100% renewable electricity across its Australian and New Zealand store network, supported by a mix of on-site solar PV, off-site PPAs, and large-scale generation certificates. This marks a major step in their sustainability roadmap aligned with their 2030 net-zero targets.[1][2][3]
- On-site solar deployment: The company has installed solar PV at a substantial portion of its sites (hundreds of installations reported over the years), with ongoing plans to add more rooftops and upgrade capacity on existing systems to increase self-consumption.[2][3]
- Broader home energy offerings: In 2025–2026, Bunnings expanded into consumer-facing energy services, including solar and battery subscription/ownership models through partnerships and new supplier arrangements, signaling a move beyond just store-level generation to residential energy solutions.[5][7]
Illustrative note
- If you’re evaluating options for a Buffalo-area home or business, the key takeaways from Bunnings’ approach are (1) aggressive on-site solar expansion to reduce grid reliance, (2) use of PPAs and certificates to meet renewable energy targets, and (3) consumer products/services that lower barriers to rooftop solar and storage ownership. This blueprint emphasizes total energy cost savings through a combination of generation, storage, and financial structures.
