We turn your services, project experience, licences, accreditation and delivery capability into a clear, professionally designed document for commercial introductions, supplier panels, prequalification and tender submissions.

Who This Service Is For

We create capability statements for solar and renewable-energy businesses looking to strengthen how they present their experience, technical capabilities and delivery credentials to commercial and procurement audiences.

This service is suited to:

Whether you’re preparing for supplier registration, prequalification, a commercial introduction or an upcoming tender, we shape the document around your actual services, experience and the audience you need to reach.

Give Buyers a Clearer Picture of Your Solar Capability

Commercial solar projects involve more than the system itself. Buyers may also need confidence in the people, experience and processes behind its delivery.

 

A well-structured capability statement brings that information together, helping you show:

It also gives different stakeholders a useful overview of the business. Procurement teams can review credentials and supplier information, while project teams, facility managers and other decision-makers can focus on the experience and delivery capabilities relevant to them.

What to Include in a Solar Installer Capability Statement

A strong capability statement should give buyers a practical view of what your business can deliver and the evidence behind that capability. We structure the content around the information most relevant to your services and target opportunities.

Company Overview and Market Position

Introduce your business, the markets you serve and the types of solar or renewable-energy projects you undertake. This is also where genuine differentiators, geographic coverage and areas of specialisation can be established.

Solar Services and Technical Scope

Clearly define the work your business performs, which may include site assessment, system design, solar installation, battery integration, commissioning, monitoring, maintenance or broader EPC delivery.

Project Experience and Past Performance

Relevant projects provide evidence of your ability to deliver. Project profiles can identify the system type and capacity, your role, location, timeframe, scope of work and verified outcomes where appropriate.

Licences, Accreditation and Compliance

Include current and relevant electrical licences, Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation, insurance, certifications and other credentials applicable to the work you perform.

Team, Resources and Delivery Capacity

Show the people and resources behind your projects, including key personnel, technical expertise, project management capability, workforce capacity, equipment and the ability to mobilise across different project requirements.

Safety, Quality and Risk Management

Outline the systems and procedures your business actually uses to manage safety, quality and project risk. Where applicable, this can be supported by current certifications, policies or other documented systems.

The exact inclusions will vary between businesses. We focus on information that can be verified and helps the intended buyer understand your scope, experience and ability to deliver, rather than filling the document with generic claims.

Show the Full Scope Behind Every Solar Project

A completed solar installation only shows part of what your business can do. Your capability statement can demonstrate the broader delivery model behind the project and clearly define where your team is involved.

Depending on your services, this may cover:

Assessment and planning

Site assessments, feasibility, energy requirements and early project planning.

Design and approvals

System design, engineering coordination, technical documentation and relevant approval processes.

Procurement and supply

Equipment sourcing, supplier relationships and coordination of panels, inverters, batteries and other system components.

Installation and project delivery

Electrical works, installation, site coordination, subcontractor management and project supervision.

Commissioning and handover

Testing, commissioning, documentation, client handover and operational information.

Monitoring and ongoing support

System monitoring, maintenance, fault response and operations and maintenance (O&M) services where provided.

Supporting Commercial Tenders and Prequalification

As solar businesses move into larger commercial projects, supplier panels and procurement-led opportunities, buyers often require more structured information about the contractors they are considering.

A capability statement gives you a reusable document for presenting your:

It can be used as supporting material for expressions of interest, requests for information, requests for quotation, prequalification and tender submissions.

A capability statement does not replace the tender response itself. Each opportunity may have its own scope, mandatory requirements, evaluation criteria, schedules, methodology and pricing requirements that need to be addressed separately.

Turn Solar Projects Into Clear Evidence of Capability

Past projects are more useful when they show more than a project name and photograph. We structure project profiles to give prospective buyers enough context to understand the work completed and your role in delivering it.

Where the information is available and approved for use, a project profile may include:

We also distinguish between work completed directly by your business and services delivered through subcontractors or other providers, giving buyers a more accurate picture of your experience.

We write and refine the content so your capabilities, experience and technical information are easy to understand without relying on generic claims.

Document Design

The approved content is developed into a professionally branded layout with clear hierarchy, consistent formatting and strong visual presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a capability statement if I mainly work in residential solar?

Not necessarily, but it can become more useful as you move into commercial projects, builder relationships, supplier panels or procurement-led work. The document can bring together your relevant experience, services, licences, accreditation and delivery capacity for prospective commercial clients.

What licences and accreditation should be included?

Include licences, accreditation and credentials that are current and relevant to the services your business actually provides. This may include applicable electrical licences and Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation. Requirements can vary by jurisdiction and type of work, so credentials should be checked before publication.

Should battery storage capabilities be included?

Yes, if battery integration forms part of your actual service offering. The capability statement can outline relevant battery services, project experience, technical scope and the role your business performs in delivery.

Should monitoring and maintenance services be included?

Yes, where these services are provided. Including commissioning, monitoring, maintenance and ongoing support can help show the full lifecycle of your involvement beyond installation.

Can I use my capability statement for solar tenders?

A capability statement can support a tender, expression of interest, request for quotation or prequalification submission, but it does not replace the required response. Each opportunity may require specific schedules, methodology, pricing, mandatory information and responses to evaluation criteria.

Can you update my existing solar capability statement?

Yes. Existing documents can be reviewed and updated to reflect current services, projects, team information, licences, accreditation and other business details. The writing, structure and design can also be refreshed where required.

Can the capability statement be tailored for different clients or opportunities?

Yes, where tailoring is included in the service scope. A core capability statement can provide the foundation, with relevant services, projects and supporting evidence prioritised for different audiences or opportunities.

What information do you need from my solar business?

Useful material may include your business details, service areas, licences, accreditation, insurance, team profiles, safety and quality information, project lists, system capacities, photographs, warranties and existing company material. You don’t need to have everything organised before getting started; we can identify any information gaps during the initial review.
