Turnkey consultancy for utility developers

De-risk your solar farm and battery project.

Enhar works with project developers to accelerate large scale solar and battery projects through land, permits, engineering and grid to reach financial close faster, and ensure quality outcomes through construction and commissioning.

all you need in one place

Get your utility solar & BESS project ready-to-build faster.

We specialise in land acquisition, development approvals, electrical engineering, grid connection and project management.  All our technical designs comply with Australian standards so you can cost-effectively build solar and battery projects headache free.

01

Acquire great land

Competition for grid capacity and land is fierce. Are you uncertain where to originate sites? We target strategic grid capacity locations where suitable land is available to secure the right land in the right locations.

Through landowner negotiation, we secure Lease Option agreements which are commercially and legally sound.

02

Obtain development approvals on time

You have secured land agreements, but have you got a low-risk path to securing Development Approvals? Our team of environmental and planning experts prepare the assessments to secure approvals from the planning authorities.

We manage the process end to end, to achieve faster approvals.

03

Complete detailed design & engineering

The design must ensure performance, safety and quality. Our team of registered Electrical Engineers and CEC accredited designers assistwith all medium to large-scale solar, battery and hybrid technical designs to suit our client’s needs.

We also undertake detailed engineering reports to ensure the project will be built in accordance with the relevantStandards and Codes.
