“The Guys did a great job at installing the system. The selection was made simple by the straightforward approach, the flawless installation, and the $0 finance.

“The removal of the old system and installation of the new system proceeded very smoothly. Our experience with Energy Matters & their recommendations from the original quote through turning on the new system was so far good. I would advise everyone to use these people. Was simple to handle and prompt.”
Stolzx
“The salesperson showed up on time, spent a lot of time on the spot with me going over the alternatives, and was obviously very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the goods. I quickly received a quote, and after some follow-up on my questions, I received an updated quote. I was briefed on what would happen on the day of installation and asked to clarify a few things; the installation process proceeded extremely easily and was finished in a day”

Enjoy power savings day and night by adding a solar battery in Hobart and Tasmania
By adding a battery to their solar system, Tasmanians can save even more money on electricity. At night or during cloudy days, the excess energy stored in solar batteries in Hobart allows people to use more of their self-generated power instead of grid power. In fact, adding a battery to a residential solar system can double the amount of self-generated electricity consumption. Not only will solar panels and a battery save you money, but they can als add value to your home.

The Electric Vehicle (EV) revolution is gaining strength in Tasmania. Are you EV ready?
More and more Australians are buying Electric Vehicles (EVs). In fact, over 50% of Australians intend to purchase an EV in the next 5 years! The Tasmanian government is investing heavily in fast EV charging stations in regional and tourism destinations. And to assist Tasmanians to buy an EV, they have also committed to waive stamp duty for EVs purchased in Tasmania for the next two years.
Ensure your house is EV ready by installing a home solar battery in Hobart. Installing a home solar battery in Tasmania gives you the flexibility to either sell your stored electricity back to the grid or charge your EV overnight (whichever option works better for you depending on feed-in-tariff, lifestyle, etc.).
