Go Further with Solar: Smart Upgrades That Pay for Themselves
Already got solar—or thinking about it? There’s more you can do. With the right add-ons, your system can go from “good” to “brilliant”—boosting savings, increasing independence, and future-proofing your home.

You don’t need to replace your system—most upgrades are easy to retrofit. And with smart plugs, usage trackers, and time-shifting tips, even simple behaviour changes can make a big difference.
