Julian Sweeney, Founder and Managing Director of 8 Star Energy, said: “Thanks to state government commitments to cut greenhouse gases, we are going to see an influx of cheaper, renewable power entering the electricity grid, and household power bills will fall as a result over coming years.
“In this environment, Australia’s solar photovoltaics market is expected to grow at a double digit CAGR during the forecast period, 2022-2026, making it a perfect environment for the wide introduction of intelligent solutions like the Energizer Solar eco-system.”
Greentech operates Australia’s largest wholesaler network of solar and renewable energy specialists, and stocks the world’s leading brands of photovoltaic panels, inverters, and mounting systems. The Greentech team takes pride in working with the finest manufacturing brands to bring the most effective, reliable, aesthetically designed, and trusted energy solutions to Australian customers.
Rupert Blatch, Executive General Manager, Greentech said: “The use of solar energy is one very good option to protect our climate and natural resources. It’s important to MM Electrical Merchandising and our Greentech business that we uphold our reputation for delivering high quality, dependable solutions that allow Australians to have easy and affordable access to solar solutions. The introduction of the Energizer® Solar range is an exciting step forward.”
Having been at the forefront of Australia’s energy transition for years, solar wholesaler, Sunova Group, is focused on adding real value to solar retailers while being highly attuned to their customers’ needs. The company’s mission is to be a force for good in delivering innovative energy solutions that are reliable, affordable and above all support sustainability.
Michael Ziada, General Manager, Sunova Group said: “This opportunity is one we do not get to see many of in our industry. Being able to sell a globally known household brand such as Energizer across the full suite of products from panels through to batteries is so exciting. This brand presents a solution that will not only be easy for our customers to sell, but for homeowners to be comfortable with, truly something that does not come around often. We at Sunova are proud to work with Energizer® Solar and cannot wait to see how this product range will perform in Australia.”
These two strategic partnerships come directly on the heels of the appointment renewables expert Vincenzo Marciano into the position of Group CTO for 8 Star Energy. An industry pioneer with a career history founded in renewable energy value streams utilising artificial intelligence, machine learning, forecasting and battery composition data, Marciano has worked closely with CSIRO data scientists, global and local product vendors, system integrators and installers to drive innovation in energy. His priority in his new role is to develop a robust channel.
Vincenzo Marciano, Group CTO, 8 Star Energy stated: “Having already launched Energizer® Homepower into the market, we have been working with Energizer to round out the offering by putting forward a complete ecosystem in the solar landscape which now includes Energizer® Solar Panels and Energizer® Solar Inverters.
“With these ready for launch, it was important for us to partner with the best in the distribution space, to actually deliver this suite of incredible hardware to the consumer. Both Greentech and Sunova Group have excellent reputations within the marketplace and strong access to quality installers. They also share our vision of enabling better access to renewable, clean power, when and where people need it.”
8 Star Energy provides access to ongoing training and support with all key partners.
