Energy Matters Queensland - trusted by thousands

Since we commenced operations in Brisbane, we’ve already installed more than 2,000 systems for Queensland families. Here’s a few of their thoughts on going solar with Energy Matters.

"We were getting power bills for around $270 per quarter. We were pretty pleased to get a $210 credit on our first bill, which wasn’t even for the full billing cycle of energy production."

-Gary Smith, Caboolture - Read more about Gary’s savings here

"For someone that was well 'out of water' in this field you put my mind at rest. Please also pass on my thanks to the very professional install team."

- Mario E, Warner

"The installers were excellent; I would recommend them to anyone. The system has been generating about 8.8 KWH per day so I would think that when we are connected into the grid, it will make quite a difference to our power bill."

- Jim B, Miami

"Professional, friendly and went out of their way to advise and answer any questions that we had during the installation, offering any further follow up if required.

We have and will be recommending Energy Matters to family and friends."

- David B, Coral Cove
