Ultimately a Solar Health Check is a way of measuring how much money you can save on energy consumption at your property with Solar Panels and Batteries.

It’s a general energy assessment that is also used to assess whether a solar system is a necessary solution for your home.

If you already have rooftop panels, solar health checks will tell you if they are working effectively and if any maintenance or upgrades are required to maximise performance. 

From the initial phone call, to running a solar health check, to exploring suitable products for your property, to finding you an experienced installer, to looking for the best energy plan for you, our Solar and Battery experts do all the leg work for you. 

We create a tailored system to suit your energy needs and desires. 

No, the Sustainability Rebates scheme provides financial support to Randwick houses, units and business properties that have purchased sustainable products. 

Residential Efficiency Scorecard Assessments (and general energy assessments) help you find out where you use energy and how you can reduce it. It’s an in-depth assessment that can help you ‘up your energy-saving game’. You never know what simple changes could save you money.

No, but any good company installing solar panels or batteries should run through your consumption to provide you with a personalised energy solution.

In fact, our Smart Energy Solar Health Check includes an energy assessment, and our expert team are more than happy to offer you some energy-saving tips along the way. Ask us how you can save!
