“For every system that we've installed over 100kW, we've installed x16 100kW systems. Not because these customers actually need only 100kW… the incentives made going larger uninteresting, basically.”

Hear from Huon Hoogesteger at about the . Businesses use 70% of the nation’s electricity and could potentially host 40–80+ GW of solar, yet remain underserved by renewables.

Thank you to Haris Murtaza and the team at Alsco Uniforms for welcoming us to Port Kembla today to celebrate the progress on their new Wollongong commercial laundry, opening in 2027.

Fresh from winning Gold at this year’s TRSA Clean Green Sustainability Awards, Alsco continues to show what serious investment in eco efficiency looks like.

Kathryn, Jon and Lauren toured the facility and came away impressed. As Alsco’s solar partner, we’re glad to be part of the journey and look forward to more great work together.

Installed solar more than a decade ago? The time to upgrade might be soon, and your old panels deserve better than landfill.

Today, the team from PV Industries joined us for a Lunch and Learn, and it was a timely reminder that our job as an industry doesn't end at commissioning.

Australia's solar panel waste is forecast to reach more than 91,000 tonnes a year by 2030, yet fewer than 5% of removed panels are currently recycled. That's despite more than 95% of a panel being recoverable.

The systems are finally catching up, with NSW consulting on a mandatory stewardship scheme and a national recycling pilot underway. But business owners can help make it work right now:
✅ Ask your installer where your old panels will end up.
✅ Make recycling a requirement in your procurement and tenders.
✅ Keep the records, because your ESG reporting will increasingly need them.

Thanks to James Petesic from PV Industries for a great conversation and for helping make sure solar stays clean from installation to retirement.

We’re proud to share that Smart Commercial Energy has won the Community Engagement award at the 2026 AFR Energy Awards, for our work on the Goulburn Community Solar Farm project!

We’re incredibly pleased to be recognised by The Australian Financial Review alongside some of Australia’s leading energy projects.

It’s a special one, coming after our Clean Energy Council Community Value & Impact Award win for this same project just a few months ago.

As always, a shout-out to everyone involved in this ground-breaking project including Komo Energy, Trina Solar and Community Energy for Goulburn (CE4G).

We’ve shared plenty about the Goulburn Community Solar Farm over the past year, from the inspiring story behind the project to the recent Clean Energy Council award it received.

Now, hear directly from our CTO Kealy Day about what it actually took to get this 1.4 MW solar farm and 4 MWh battery from a long-held community ambition to a working commercial project.

The site, the grid connection, the engineering and the economics all came with their own challenges. This is a great behind-the-scenes look at how we worked through them.

Worth a watch if you’re interested in what it really takes to deliver community solar and storage projects like this - https://hubs.la/Q04zS2Jq0
