Hear how much we saved our customers
I had a 6.6kW system installed by Smart Energy and saved over $500 on my first bill.
Knowing now that there's nobody charging me for energy, and I'm doing the right thing for the environment here, you get a bit of a kick out of it.
We had no upfront costs…we are saving money already…I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smart Energy to friends and family.

Hear it from our happy customers
Hear first-hand from our incredible community of customers.
My experience with getting a battery and added solar panels from start to finish was more than 5 star. Everyone involved was very professional and great to get along with. Very good communication all the time. I highly recommend.
From the time we had Allanah visit us and talk to us about changing to Solar and battery power we knew it was the right thing to do. Within a few weeks we had them installed. The electricians were fantastic. The whole procedure went so smoothly. I love walking outside and seeing the batteries knowing we are not just saving a lot of money but we are doing our little bit to help our world.
I have been with Smart Energy for my Solar System installation and then later on my battery installation and now changing my electricity provider to get me a better deal than my current one. They have been very helpful and professional in guiding me throughout the whole process and now looking forward to working with them to get the best out of my investment.
Frequently asked questions
The cost of installing a home EV charger depends on your property's electrical setup, charger location, cable requirements and whether switchboard upgrades are needed. Smart Energy assesses your home and charging needs to provide a tailored installation quote.
Yes. A compatible home EV charger can use electricity generated by your rooftop solar panels to charge your vehicle. Smart charging features may also help you prioritise solar energy, depending on your charger and home energy system.
No. Many home EV chargers can operate on a single-phase electricity supply. Three-phase power can support faster charging with suitable equipment, but it isn't necessary for every household. Smart Energy assesses your electrical supply and vehicle requirements to determine a suitable installation.
Charging time depends on your vehicle's battery capacity, current charge level, onboard charging capability and the power delivered by your home charger. A dedicated home EV charger can provide more convenient everyday charging than relying solely on a standard household power outlet.
Owning an electric vehicle (EV) can save you money in several ways. The cost of charging an EV is significantly lower than refuelling a petrol or diesel car, especially if you charge at home using off-peak electricity rates. On average, EV owners in Australia pay much less per kilometre compared to those driving petrol cars.
If you have solar panels, the savings are even greater. Charging your EV with solar energy is virtually free, as the electricity you generate costs much less than buying power from the grid. If you’re not able to charge your car at home in the middle of the day, a battery system will enable you to charge your electric vehicle at night using stored energy generated from your solar during the day. Electrifying your home and combining an EV with a solar and battery system can dramatically reduce your fuel costs and protect you from rising energy prices. Speak with a Smart Energy expert for advice based on your specific energy and electric vehicle needs.
