Fast-growing renewable energy retailer Flow Power has partnered with independent solar and battery comparison service Solar Choice to help more Australian homes and businesses get the most out of their electricity usage.
The partnership brings together two long-standing clean energy pioneers; combining Solar Choice’s expert renewable asset advice and installs, with Flow Power’s smart electricity plans that reward customers for optimising existing and new behind-the meter solutions to harness the power of the wholesale market.
Under the partnership, Solar Choice will continue to operate as an independent comparison and tendering service for solar, battery and electrification solutions, while Flow Power customers will gain an easy pathway to learn about renewable assets and compare quotes from trustworthy installers. Solar Choice customers will also have streamlined access to Flow Power’s smart retail plans designed to maximise returns from renewable energy and storage investments.
Flow Power CEO Matthew van der Linden said the partnership aligns closely with Flow Power’s mission to enable customers to actively participate in the energy transition:
“Solar Choice has played a unique and trusted role in Australia’s rooftop solar and battery market for nearly two decades. Partnering with them allows us to offer customers an even stronger pathway from asset selection and installation through to smarter energy retailing that helps those assets perform at their best
“This partnership is about empowering more households and businesses to electrify with confidence, and then to keep extracting value from their systems over time through retail plans that respond to real market signals.“
Solar Choice founder and outgoing Chairman Angus Gemmell said the combined experience of the two organisations would help deliver a broader electrification ecosystem for customers:
“The combination of Flow Power and Solar Choice’s cumulative 47 years pioneering Australia’s clean energy transition makes for an inspired future for the two companies enabling the full ecosystem of electrification needs of Australian households and businesses.
“With CEO Jeff Sykes’s acumen and operational leadership, now joined with Flow Power’s excellent standing as the nation’s leading clean energy retailer, Solar Choice will continue to thrive.
“It’s poignant to look back with gratitude on the journey since 2008 that’s seen Solar Choice consistently deliver a gateway for one in every ten solar homes across Australia, and manage tenders for many thousands of the nation’s largest roll outs of corporate solar”.
Solar Choice CEO Jeff Sykes said the partnership maintains Solar Choice’s commitment to impartiality while enabling growth:
“Flow Power is an ideal partner for Solar Choice as they share our vision of empowering homes and businesses to make well-informed energy decisions and recognise and respect the independent, impartial role we play in the solar and battery market.
“Our installer partners and customers can be confident that nothing about that independence will change. This partnership gives us the backing to scale our impact and help accelerate Australia’s energy transition in a meaningful way.”
