Solahart

What Solahart does

Solahart Bundaberg is an authorized Solahart dealer serving the Bundaberg and Wide Bay region of Queensland, Australia, operating from 13 Princess St, Bundaberg QLD 4670 under the legal entity SMR PARTNERS PTY LTD (ABN 34 676 281 986). The company supplies and installs residential and commercial solar photovoltaic systems, home battery storage, solar hot water systems, heat pumps, and EV chargers, using a direct-to-consumer sales model anchored on free in-home assessments and a four-step consult-design-quote-install process. It is a regional franchisee within the national Solahart Industries Pty Ltd dealer network, leveraging the parent company's 70+ year brand legacy and over 1 million cumulative system installations.

The product portfolio is built on a mix of Solahart proprietary offerings and certified partner technologies. Proprietary items include Silhouette bifacial all-black panels (455W, 30-year warranty) and the PowerStore solar-smart electric water heater, which diverts excess solar generation into water heating without requiring batteries. Partner-certified offerings span Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ batteries, GoodWe Lynx Home, and SolarEdge Energy Bank, plus EV chargers from Tesla, GoodWe, and SolarEdge. Installations are performed by SAA-accredited installers, with typical residential turnaround of 1-2 days and commercial project work in the 10kW-100kW+ range.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sale plus installation fees on residential and commercial projects, with financing facilitated through Zip Money (72-month interest-free for purchases over A$5,000) and rebates applied at point of sale under the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (STCs) and the July 2025 Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Customer mix is dominated by individual homeowners, complemented by small commercial accounts across offices, warehouses, manufacturing, schools, and hospitality. No recurring SaaS-style revenue, subscription software, or licensing model is present; the only recurring element is hot-water servicing.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Tesla Energy: Direct competitor in residential solar plus battery storage. Solahart Bundaberg is a certified Tesla Powerwall installer, and Tesla itself sells Powerwall and Solar Roof directly to consumers, overlapping on the same customer base.
• Natural Solar: Australian residential and commercial solar installer offering panel, battery, and EV charger packages nationwide. Closest like-for-like peer in product mix and DTC sales motion.
• RACV Solar: Victorian-headquartered solar retailer offering residential solar and battery packages. Comparable as a trusted-brand, multi-product residential solar installer with financing options.
• Solar Choice: Australian solar comparison and installation marketplace. Competes directly for the same residential leads by aggregating multiple installer quotes online.
• Infinite Energy: Australian solar and battery retailer with national delivery and accredited installation. Comparable product lineup (panels, batteries, EV chargers) and sales-led GTM.

Broad incumbents

• Origin Energy: Major Australian energy retailer offering residential solar, batteries, and EV solutions alongside its core electricity and gas business. Wider portfolio but directly overlaps in residential solar retail.
• AGL Energy: Australia's largest energy retailer with growing residential solar, battery, and VPP offerings through AGL Solar. Incumbent with broader services competing for the same Bundaberg homeowners.
• EnergyAustralia: Australian energy retailer expanding into rooftop solar and battery products. Comparable as a national utility-backed competitor entering the residential solar market.

Others

• Enphase Energy: Supplier and technology partner, also a competing microinverter and battery platform globally. Relevant because Solahart Bundaberg bundles Enphase IQ systems and Enphase could shift to direct sales.
• GoodWe: Global inverter and battery manufacturer supplying Solahart Bundaberg. Relevant peer because it sells Lynx Home batteries and EV chargers that overlap with the dealer's product line.
