7:00Morning
Solar starting
The panels wake up before you do.
Kettle, lunches, the school run. Early sun covers part of the morning load and the grid tops up the rest.
Complimentary Home Energy Clarity Session
Your power bill, explained by the people who install the fix.
Sixty minutes with an East Coast Energy specialist. You leave knowing what your bill is made of, what solar or a battery would change for your home, and the price, in writing. Then the decision is yours.

Who this helps
Four homes we see every week.
If one of these sounds like yours, the session is built for you. If none do, the check below will tell you that too.
No solar yet
The bill keeps climbing and you want to know if solar finally makes sense.
We look at what you use, when you use it and what your roof can carry, then show the system that fits rather than the biggest one we could sell.
Solar already
You have panels, but most of what they make goes to the grid for very little.
Whether you had it installed or it came with the house, we check how it is performing and whether a battery would let you use more of your own power.
Backup
Storms and outages matter in your house.
Backup has to be designed in. We explain exactly what a battery could keep running for you, and what it would not.
Bigger loads
An electric vehicle, a pool or people working from home.
New loads change the maths. We size around the way your household runs now and how it is likely to change.
How it works One day on your roof
Capture the day. Power your evening.
Solar makes power while the sun is up. Most households use the most power after it goes down. A battery closes that gap. Here is what a typical day looks like with a system designed for your home.
12:45Midday
Peak sun
More power than the house needs.
The house runs on solar and the extra charges the battery. Anything left over is exported to the grid.
18:30Evening
Battery supplying
Dinner runs on stored sunshine.
Cooking, lights, air conditioning, the television. This is when grid power usually costs most, and when stored solar is worth most to you.
21:00Night
Less from the grid
The battery keeps going until it runs low.
How far into the night depends on the battery size and what is switched on. We model this from your own bill, not an average household.
Savings depend on your usage, your tariff, the system size, your roof and when you use power. Your session uses your figures and shows every assumption.
Installer owned Our story
Started by two installers who got tired of cleaning up other people's jobs.
Ryan Quinlivan and Chris Kennedy were on roofs long before they ran a company. They have seen the industry at its best and its worst, and built East Coast Energy around the parts that matter after the salesperson leaves.
The people who design your system work alongside the crews who install it. We install what we sell with our own team, not subcontractors, and when you need help later you are talking to the same business.

What people are saying about us
We recently had East Coast Energy Co install a new solar panel system at our house and we’re very happy with the end result! Thank you Fabrizio for making the process so easy from start to finish. We’d happily recommend Fabrizio and the team!
Thanks East Coast Energy Co for installing my 12 kw battery system. Great job. Fast, accommodating, friendly and polite. Highly recomend
Ryan, Chris and the team did a fantastic 40kw install for an important client in Mt Tambourine. East Coast Energy Co will be my preferred installers moving forward. Cheers team!
I recently had the pleasure of working with East Coast Energy for the installation of solar panels at my property. I couldn't be more impressed with their exceptional service and expertise. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and professional. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and they will be my go to for any future works I require.

The session What happens
Start with five quick questions.
They tell your specialist what matters before they arrive, so the hour is spent on your home rather than on forms.
We look at your bill together
Usage, tariff, supply charges and when you use power. Bring a recent bill if you have one.
We assess your roof and switchboard
Orientation, shading, space and what your electrical setup can support.
We show you the options
Solar, a battery, both, or neither. With the reasons, the figures and any rebate that applies.
You get the next step in writing
A designed proposal with pricing. Whether you go ahead, and when, is your decision.
About 60 minutes, at your home. Weekday evenings and Saturdays are available in most areas.
Question 1 of 5
Straight answers
The questions people ask us first.
If yours is not here, ask it in the session. A good answer should hold up after the specialist has left.
Will solar and a battery actually pay off for my home?
It depends on how much power you use, when you use it, your tariff, your roof and the system size. That is why the session starts with your bill. In some homes a battery pays its way well. In others, especially in Tasmania, a battery is more about backup and independence than savings, and we will tell you that plainly.
What is the federal battery rebate, and is it ending?
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program reduces the upfront cost of an eligible battery installed by an accredited installer. It is not ending, but the discount steps down every six months, with the next step scheduled for 1 January 2027. Your proposal shows the discount that applies to your system and the date it is based on.
Will a battery keep my power on in a blackout?
Only if the system is designed and installed for backup. It is not automatic. Most backup setups run selected circuits, such as lights, the fridge and power points, rather than the whole house. We explain what your system would keep running and roughly for how long.
Who installs it, and who helps me later?
Our own crews install every system we sell. After installation you deal with us for support, monitoring questions and warranty claims, including manufacturer claims, which we manage for you.
I already have solar. Is this for me?
Yes. We check how your current system is performing, whether it has faults, and whether a battery or an upgrade would let you use more of your own power. Sometimes the answer is a service, not a new system.
How do people usually pay?
Some pay outright and some use finance through our partners. Terms vary, so your proposal shows the full price and, if you choose finance, the full repayment terms in writing before you decide.
Is this a sales pitch?
It is a consultation with a specialist who will make a recommendation and give you a price. You will understand your bill and your options either way. Going ahead, and when, is your decision.
