Case Study
Real Estate Pty Ltd
Project Size:
7.8kW Rooftop Solar
Real Estate Pty Ltd, a progressive agency in NSW’s property scene, has made a smart move toward sustainability by switching to solar power, demonstrating its commitment to a greener future alongside its dedication to exceptional real estate. Known for helping clients find energy-efficient homes and commercial spaces, the company chose to lead by example and reduce its own carbon footprint through renewable energy adoption.
In collaboration with AYKA Solar, a 7.8kW rooftop solar system was expertly installed to meet the agency’s daytime energy needs. This clean energy solution now powers their office operations, covering everything from lighting and HVAC to desktop systems and communications, while cutting costs and reinforcing their environmentally responsible brand.

OBJECTIVES
As a company committed to promoting future-ready properties, Real Estate Pty Ltd recognised the need to integrate sustainability into its own operations. The primary goal was to significantly reduce electricity costs while aligning their day-to-day business with the values they encourage in their clients—efficiency, responsibility, and environmental awareness. Embracing solar energy was seen as both a smart financial move and a brand-enhancing initiative, enabling the company to demonstrate industry leadership in sustainability and inspire clients to make similar choices in their property investments.
SOLUTION
AYKA Solar designed and installed a custom 7.8kW rooftop solar system optimised for Real Estate Pty Ltd’s office consumption profile. The system uses high-efficiency solar panels paired with an intelligent inverter and real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing the business to track solar generation and usage throughout the day.
The installation was strategically scheduled to avoid any disruption to client meetings or ongoing operations. Within days, the system was live, providing reliable, renewable power that blends seamlessly into the office’s workflow and infrastructure.
“Sustainability is no longer optional in real estate—it’s a value-add. Going solar helps us walk the talk and demonstrate the power of smart energy choices.”

CHALLENGES
The office layout and existing electrical systems required careful planning to ensure that the solar integration would be efficient and safe. Roof space was limited, and panel positioning needed to maximise sunlight exposure during peak office hours. Additionally, the team wanted minimal disruption to operations during the installation.
AYKA Solar delivered a streamlined project with minimal interruption by using advanced layout tools and expert coordination. The system was optimised for both output and aesthetics—making it a natural fit for the office’s urban environment.
THE FUTURE
Now that solar energy powers the bulk of their daytime operations, Real Estate Pty Ltd is exploring additional sustainability upgrades, including energy-efficient lighting and smart climate control systems. The company is also leveraging real-time solar performance data to track savings and promote their clean energy initiative in client communications and property listings. This transition not only helps reduce operational costs, but also strengthens their position as a forward-looking, eco-conscious leader in the property sector.
Switching to solar has significantly cut our energy costs while helping us do our part for the planet. It’s a win-win for our business and the environment.
