Data Partnership
Unleash the Power of Data in partnership with SunWiz
SunWiz earned a long-standing reputation as the Market Intel provider-of-choice to the Australian solar & storage industry.
Now we’re expanding our market-leading unique offering to the world.
Your Data is probably Underutilized.
Data is powerful, but only when it’s harnessed.
Even if your data is used within your business, you’re lacking all-important context if you’re not benchmarking your data. You might be growing, while falling behind the market.
Data sharing models have proven their value in conventional energy. That’s because combining multiple datasets truly unleashes the data’s impact. Now it’s time the solar&storage industry reaped the benefits of data sharing.
As a trusted independent market analyst SunWiz has developed the unique formula that leads to better business decisions & improves product-market fit across the entire supply chain.
"We would like to thank SunWiz again, as our sales have grown 6 times larger than back to the old days when we did not buy from SunWiz."

Data Sharing Explained
The high-level concept is:
- you provide us data,
- in return we benchmark that data to the broader market,

- where you can best concentrate your efforts to further improve.
Your Data can benefit your clients too

Mission: WHY we do this
To meaningfully address climate change, the entire solar industry has to go 5x faster. We can’t afford to lose momentum as a result of poor decisions. Decision makers in product design, stock allocation, software development, employment, and installers all need to be well-informed.
SunWiz has proven an impressive Australian dataset helps make the industry bigger faster and more efficient. Data partnerships have been key to going beyond “what just happened”, to provide a complete picture of “why did that just happen” and “what’s about to happen next”.
The Industry benefits from SunWiz helping:
- equipment manufacturers and distributors have the right amount of stock
- finance providers offer products that meet customer needs
- manufacturers design equipment that’s compatible and meets local needs
- manufacturers understand why they’re losing market share
- lead generators make solar more popular
- salespeople close more deals
- installers price optimally
- businesses reduce cancellation rates
- businesses reduce the wait for job installation
In short: Data partnerships deliver greater understanding, which leads to swifter growth of the solar & storage industry.

Here’s how we work: WITH you & FOR you
We work with you to:
- Understand the datapoints you collect
- Consider what use they could be to your business if benchmarked against similar datapoints from other parties or the total market.
- Consider what datapoints could help your clients operate their business better
- Consider what datapoints could be turned into thought-leadership articles that promote your business
- Consider what datapoints would be of value to the broader industry
We simplify the data exploration process. We inspect your database schema and propose database queries that will provide the data tables we need. This near-eliminates the establishment effort required of you.
We then review a data sample you provide us, and provide feedback before the full dataset is exchanged.
We provide you a proposed data partner agreement for review by your business. That agreement ensures your privacy and security requirements are documented, and that our verbal agreements are written down for future reference. We’ll accommodate the changes you request. This agreement can be formalized at any stage in the process that you prefer.
Monthly Reporting
Each month you send us your updated dataset. We collate the information and send you your intel datapack.
