Best Solar Awards 2022

Australia's Top Solar Equipment Manufacturers

Best Solar Company Awards

Australia is a world-leading market for Solar & Storage installations. Australia has over 3 million solar installations, with over 30% of homes hosting a PV system. It’s no wonder Australia has the most amount of solar power installed per capita. We’re also a top-three market for storage system installations.

Australia’s industry is full of highly experienced people who have tried and tested thousands of products over the past decades. Local tradespeople and technicians quickly identify the products that are suited to our market – those that aren’t decent are unsuccessful and soon leave the country.

It’s also a very competitive market. Success locally is a testament to having the right mix of price, quality, service, value, and technical ability.

Getting to the top of the leaderboard is therefore worth celebrating. It demonstrates a brand has got what it takes to be popular. If a brand can remain on the leaderboard for multiple years, then that brand can rightfully claim to be the Best Solar Panel in Australia, Best Solar Inverter in Australia, or Best Energy Storage System (Battery) in Australia.
