ENERGY
insist we’re moving into an era
of “hyper-efficiency” in LED as it
continues to make great strides in
terms of cost and effectiveness.
Battery storage is also expected
to be a major future market, with
prices coming down by about 29%.
“We’re seeing tremendous growth
in that area,” adds Zimmerman.
“About 700 systems a month
are being installed in Australia
residentially. And pairing batteries
with solar, you can make and store
energy day and night and release it
when it’s most needed. You become
your own mini power plant.”
Is his wish still to have solar
on every roof in Australia?
“Absolutely,” he says. “We
fundamentally support this
transition to new energy and our
corporate mission is to bring these
technologies within reach of every
home, every business, and every
school in every community.
“We want to be with our
customers every step of the way,
simplifying the message, bringing
them within reach from a pricing
point of view, and bringing new
technologies to market.”
They insist the businesses’
success, ultimately, comes down
to the workforce, which currently
stands at 90 people but is set to
double in the next five to 10 years.
“A business is an idea but for
that idea to become a reality
you need a committed group of
people,” adds Zimmerman. “The
results we’ve achieved would not
have been possible without our
team, who have worked tirelessly,
and our aim is to grow the leaders
of tomorrow from within.”
“The power of what we
have is in the people we
have in the business.”
