Hand-coded SolarQuotes from 2009.<\/p><\/div>\n

On Tuesday, I signed the papers to sell SolarQuotes to Origin Energy.
\n<\/p>\n

SolarQuotes has been my life for over 15 years, and letting it go feels strange. But for SolarQuotes to have the biggest impact going forward, it needs more than just me at the wheel.<\/p>\n

Origin is ending their residential solar and battery installs, but this isn\u2019t them stepping away from renewables. In fact, they want to move faster. Their new strategy? Help more households go solar by connecting them with good independent installers – like the ones in the SolarQuotes network.<\/p>\n

This sale puts SolarQuotes in a position to have a bigger impact. The next challenge isn\u2019t just getting more panels on roofs – it\u2019s about electrifying entire homes and integrating everything with an increasingly renewable grid.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve helped Australia solve the rooftop solar challenge. Australia now has more solar per person than any other country. Battery installs are growing fast too. The next step is smart EV chargers, efficient electric hot water, moving off gas, and better energy management.<\/p>\n

The more homes with high-quality installs of all these things, the more opportunities we create for Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and orchestrated loads. This flexibility is key to handling more renewables in the grid and switching off coal.<\/p>\n

In the end, having the right installers doing quality work isn\u2019t just good for homeowners – it\u2019s what will drive the renewable transition forward.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I chose Origin. They\u2019ll be steering people toward trusted experts in the SolarQuotes network – because the fastest way to properly electrify Australian homes is to let the best installers do what they do best.<\/p>\n

What Happens Next?<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll be sticking around for a few years to help with the transition and make sure SolarQuotes stays on track with good advice, great service, and access to the best installers in Australia.<\/p>\n

Although we will be owned by Origin, we won’t be integrated with their main business. We’ll remain an independent business unit, run by our existing team with the same values, vetting and installers.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest \u2013 this change makes me nervous. I know not everyone will agree with the decision. But I believe it\u2019s the right move to help more people electrify their homes and speed up the transition to renewables.<\/p>\n

If everything goes to plan, Origin will take ownership on December 1.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got questions or thoughts, drop them in the comments. I\u2019m here to chat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
