Its award-winning products are known for reliability, smart design, and exceptional performance;  values that mirror our own.

We extend our sincere thanks to the entire GoodWe team for their continued partnership, innovation and support in helping us deliver world-class solar solutions to Australian homes.

A Shared Vision for a Cleaner Future

2025 has undeniably been a milestone year for Australia’s solar sector, fuelled by initiatives such as the Cheaper Home Batteries Program and a growing public drive toward energy independence. As confidence in renewable energy continues to rise, partnerships like ours with GoodWe ensure Australian households benefit from world-class technology backed by trusted local expertise.

Being recognised for our unwavering belief that every home can be both energy-efficient and beautifully designed and that clean energy should be accessible, affordable, and built to last, means everything to us.  This award is truly a tribute to our incredible team,  from installers and designers to support staff and partners, and, last but by no means leaste, the customers who continue to place their trust in us.

A massive Thank you for being part of the journey.

Here’s to another year of powering Australian homes cleanly, reliably, and with purpose.
