Residential Testimonials
Bernard - Gold Coast, Queensland
13kW solar | 16kWh battery | customer since 2022
Household: 2 adults | ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, 1 heated swimming pool | 2 storey
"Our main motivation for installing solar has always been energy independence.
On a sunny day, our system can comfortably run the pool pump, washing machine, dishwasher, and everything else operating in the home while still charging the battery. By the evening we are able to draw from the stored power, and typically still have capacity remaining the next morning."
Charles - Brisbane, Queensland
39kW solar | 76kWh battery | customer since 2023
Household: 2 adults, 1 child, 1 pet | 2 EVs, 1 heated swimming pool | 3 storey
"Living in Queensland - certainly in summer - it’s very difficult not to run air conditioning overnight. So being able to sustain our energy needs overnight with what has been stored throughout the day has been great.
Again, living in Queensland where weather-related power outages take place, it’s been fantastic having the peace of mind knowing the battery will sustain my home.
The quality of work from the team has been very, very good. I've been extremely happy with the service I've received and the installations have been excellent."
