We make electrifying everything simple
Solar Savers is a local government initiative making electrification easy for homeowners, renters, landlords, and business owners in participating Council areas.
We have done the hard work for you by evaluating and selecting a trusted installer with quality products and workmanship. We do this with the support of local governments to give you peace of mind when deciding to install solar on your home.

The process of trying to get solar on our own was too overwhelming and difficult. We wouldn’t have solar without Solar Savers. They really helped us and everyone was very thorough, understanding and helpful.
