Sustainability isn’t a fad or phase. It’s a philosophy that Australians have taken into their everyday lives and homes, especially when it comes to new builds — whether it’s a classic 3-4 bed house, trending tiny home, or granny flat, everyday Aussies are highlighting the importance of sustainability through materials, energy footprint and overall environmental impact(s).
In this blog, we’re here to enlighten you on why solar energy should be your go-to choice for new builds, exploring the exciting options available.
Watt’s buzzing for new builds?
The Aussie dream might traditionally involve owning a sprawling, free-standing house. But the surge in alternative housing, like tiny homes, signals a major philosophical shift towards more sustainable and efficient living. When you’re thinking solar for your new build, it’s not a one-size-fits-all affair. The key is tailoring the system to match the unique characteristics of your build.

Tiny Homes: mini house, but mighty efficient.
Tiny homes have become the Aussie symbol of minimalist, cost-effective, eco-friendly living. These small wonders deserve energy solutions as nimble as they are. Enter solar power, the unsung hero of sustainable energy, ideally in tune with the philosophy that living small shouldn’t mean thinking small.
Off, off-grid and away
For the growing tribe of Australians craving an off-grid lifestyle, solar power is the superhero they’ve been waiting for. The ability to generate electricity independently, far from the traditional grid’s clutches, is like having a magic wand for remote cabins or tucked-away off-grid retreats. Solar panels paired with advanced battery technology stand guard, ensuring a reliable, clean, and renewable energy source, even in the most secluded spots.
