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.

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
Solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity from sunlight. A solar inverter converts this into alternating current (AC) electricity that powers your household appliances, reducing the electricity you need to purchase from the grid.
Any excess solar energy can be exported to the grid for feed-in tariff credits or stored in a compatible home battery for later use. A smart meter records electricity imported from and exported to the grid.
Speak with one of Smart Energy's specialists to learn how solar could help lower your household energy costs.
The amount you can save with solar depends on your system's size, your location, roof orientation, shading, household electricity consumption and the quality of the equipment installed.
Smart Energy's specialists can assess your household energy requirements and recommend a tailored solar system designed to deliver long-term value and help maximise your potential savings.
The cost of installing a solar system varies depending on system capacity, panel quality and installation requirements.
Although lower-priced systems may offer a smaller initial investment, they may also provide less warranty protection, limited customer support and potentially higher maintenance costs over time.
Smart Energy focuses on quality equipment, comprehensive warranty coverage and ongoing customer care. Our specialists can assess your property and provide a personalised quote with information about expected system performance and payback periods.
Eligible Australian homeowners may qualify for federal and state government solar incentives that help reduce the upfront cost of installing solar panels.
Smart Energy can assist customers in identifying applicable incentives and managing the rebate process. The amount available depends on factors including your location, system eligibility and current government program requirements.
