Hello sunshine!

With sustainability in mind, Australian households are looking to the sun to help power a brighter future

If there’s one thing Australia has in abundance, it’s sunshine, from the beautiful light that floods our homes, and the warmth that brings our gardens to life, to balmy summer days that draw us outside for alfresco entertaining. Yet across our suburbs and skylines, a growing number of households are looking to the sky for more, with a practical desire for savings and sustainability. And that’s where solar power – and visionary Australian firm Brighte – come in.

GROWING DEMAND

According to the CSIRO, Australia already has the highest uptake of solar globally. And it’s no surprise, given the ever-growing focus on climate and cost of living. But while many people broadly understand the environmental and economic benefits solar power brings, taking that first step to install it can be daunting. That’s something Brighte is looking to change.

POWER WITH PURPOSE

Founded in 2015, Brighte is a technology-driven business that helps everyday Aussies tap into the benefits of solar energy. Its flagship offering is a 0% interest payment plan for the installation of solar panels (see Affordable access, below right). Homeowners are also linked to a network of accredited and trusted tradies to organise quotation and installation. By providing these vetted connections, Brighte gives customers peace of mind. And with a network reaching across cities, remote and rural areas, its reach is Australia wide.

THE ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR

• More control of energy usage and needs, allowing for less reliance on traditional energy providers.

• Any power bill savings can help to pay off the panels. Deloitte research*, for example, shows Brighte clients save, on average, up to $1000 a year.

Ultimately, though, it’s not just about solar’s impact on our wallets. It’s about playing a role in a more sustainable future through clean and renewable energy.
