Take control of your home energy

A standard solar panel installation typically takes one to two days, depending on the size of the system and the complexity of your roof. Battery installations are generally completed within a day. Before any work begins, our certified engineers design a custom system for your home and our team takes care of all the necessary approvals and grid connection paperwork. On installation day, our accredited local electricians handle everything from start to finish. We'll walk you through how your system works before we leave, and our SmartCare team is available to support you long after installation is complete.

Government incentives for solar and battery storage are available across Australia, and they can meaningfully reduce the upfront cost of your system. At a federal level, the Small-scale Technology Certificate scheme provides financial incentives for eligible solar panel installations. Several states also offer additional rebates and interest-free loans. The available incentives depend on your location, the size of your system and your eligibility. Smart Energy handles the entire rebate process on your behalf, so you don't need to navigate the paperwork yourself. Speak with one of our specialists to find out exactly what you're entitled to.

In most cases, yes. Adding a battery to an existing solar system is one of the most popular upgrades we do, and it can make a significant difference to how much of your own energy you actually use. Rather than sending excess solar power back to the grid at low feed-in tariff rates, a battery stores that energy so you can use it in the evening or during peak times when grid electricity is most expensive. Our energy specialists will assess your current system and design a battery solution that works with your existing setup to deliver the best long-term value.

Smart Energy operates across Australia, with more than 18 offices and 300 team members nationwide. We install solar panels, battery storage systems and heat pump hot water systems in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. Our locally based installers bring regional knowledge and personalised service to every project, backed by the resources and expertise of a national team. If you're unsure whether we service your area, get in touch and one of our energy specialists will be happy to help.

A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network of distributed energy resources like solar panels, batteries, and other smart devices, managed together to act as a single power plant. Consider it like a community of homes, where each home with solar panels and batteries contributes excess energy. The VPP collects this energy from different homes, and distributes it where and when it is needed. When the ‘community’ has no need for more energy, the VPP shares the collected energy with the grid to keep things running smoothly. By working together, homes can make sure their energy is used wisely, saving money and supporting a cleaner, more reliable energy system.
