Recognised among Australia's Top 10 Battery Installers for 2026
Recognised across 3 categories in the 2026 SunWiz Awards — for battery installations, residential solar volume, customer ratings across SOU.
Solar Power Direct has been named a 2026 SunWiz Award Winner for Top Volume PV + Best Rated in South Australia.
Hi, I'm David McElrea, CEO of the Smart Energy Council.
And hi, I'm Warwick Johnston, the founder of SunWiz.
We've partnered to help consumers choose an installer for their solar and storage system.
SunWiz has determined Solar Power Direct installed more solar power and batteries last year than most other companies.
Of course, business size isn't the only measure you should use when choosing a solar installer. Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better.
Which is why we're happy to report Solar Power Direct is also among Australia's best-rated solar businesses.
So we encourage you to buy from Solar Power Direct.
They rank among Australia's top-tier solar installers.
Choosing a solar installer you can trust is hard — the market is full of bold claims that are difficult to verify. SunWiz Awards exist to help Australian homeowners cut through that: they recognise the solar companies proven by independent installation and customer-review data — not marketing, nominations, or paid placement — to be among the best in their region. Solar Power Direct is one of them, with 3 separate 2026 awards, every one earned on verified data.
Since 2009, SunWiz has tracked every solar power system installed across Australia, documenting each company’s installation volume. Rankings draw on the Clean Energy Regulator REC-Registry plus verified records from STC service providers, and on audited customer review data for review-based awards. Ranking positions are determined by data, independent of whether a company chooses to participate — SunWiz Awards are determined exclusively by data rather than by judging panels, nominations, or sponsor relationships. As the recognised authority on Australian solar market volumes, SunWiz data is referenced by corporations, NGOs, and government bodies.
