Rapidly expanding, our mission is to be the best solar supply and installation company in Australia for medium scale and residential systems; continually striving to maintain excellence in components, installation and superior customer service.

 

How we began

 

Three friends sat around a kitchen table. One was working in solar energy, another was working with computers/websites and the other was in banking/finance. They were all disgruntled with their current jobs and hopeful their combined strengths would lead them to something better.

 

From these fervent kitchen table discussions, Energy Matters was born - and functioned for its first three months as an online distribution company of solar power systems from the recesses of a garage.

 

Where we are now

 

With warehouses around Australia, within just a few years, we've grown into a staff of over 100, responsible for an installation network for domestic solar power systems, as well as stand-alone equipment for those people living in remote areas of Australia.  Our site is noted as one of the top ten in the world for purchasing solar and renewable energy online.

Consulting and accredited installation

 

Energy Matters has a diverse network of accredited installers throughout urban and rural Australia and New Zealand, specialising in the design and installation of renewable energy systems for residential and commercial applications.

 

Our installers are trained to deliver to the most stringent Australian and International Standards and have a wealth of experience in grid connected and stand alone wind and solar power systems. With Energy Matters as your supplier and installer, you can have your solar power, solar hot water or wind energy system up and running flawlessly in no time.

 

We are also very active in Australia's schools as part of the Federal Government's Solar Schools Initiative. We warmly encourage schools throughout Australia to contact us for further information about the generous incentives on offer.

 

Keeping it simple.. and economical

 

As with any new technology, solar energy systems may have been treated with some suspicion a decade or so ago but the technology is now at an advanced stage where you have the solar panels installed on your roof and they plug into your meter box - and it works for a very long time with next to no maintenance.

We don't go into long-winded technology explanations with everyone, except for the people who love solar power for its technology. In order to compete with mainstream electricity and other issues, our system has to operate and work just as well as the previous system the customer has been using. And that's where we are today - we're just as good. If you have a choice between a normal electric hot water system, or solar-powered one on your roof, then after rebates, it may be only AUS$500 difference. Why wouldn't you use the greener, cleaner energy? After a while, it will also start saving you money!
