AUSTRALIA insist we ’ re moving into an era of “ hyper-efficiency ” in LED as it continues to make great strides in terms of cost and effectiveness .
Battery storage is also expected to be a major future market , with prices coming down by about 29 %.
“ We ’ re seeing tremendous growth in that area ,” adds Zimmerman . “ About 700 systems a month are being installed in Australia residentially . And pairing batteries with solar , you can make and store energy day and night and release it when it ’ s most needed . You become your own mini power plant .”
Is his wish still to have solar on every roof in Australia ?
“ Absolutely ,” he says . “ We fundamentally support this transition to new energy and our corporate mission is to bring these technologies within reach of every home , every business , and every school in every community .
“ We want to be with our customers every step of the way , simplifying the message , bringing them within reach from a pricing point of view , and bringing new technologies to market .”
They insist the businesses ’ success , ultimately , comes down to the workforce , which currently stands at 90 people but is set to double in the next five to 10 years .
“ A business is an idea but for that idea to become a reality you need a committed group of people ,” adds Zimmerman . “ The results we ’ ve achieved would not have been possible without our team , who have worked tirelessly , and our aim is to grow the leaders of tomorrow from within .”
“ The power of what we have is in the people we have in the business .”
