Solar Choice has commenced a partnership with Flow Power, a fast-growing renewable electricity retailer. Flow Power have recently launched a wholesale-linked residential electricity plan which offers customers up to 45cents per kWh for exported energy.
The collaboration unites two established clean energy pioneers, bringing together Solar Choice’s expertise in renewable asset advice and installation with Flow Power’s innovative electricity plans that reward customers for optimising both existing and new behind-the-meter solutions to access wholesale market benefits.
As part of the partnership, Solar Choice will continue operating as an independent comparison and tendering service for solar, battery and broader electrification solutions. Flow Power customers will gain a straightforward pathway to learn about renewable assets and compare quotes from trusted installers, while Solar Choice customers will enjoy streamlined access to Flow Power’s smart retail plans designed to maximise the value of renewable energy and storage investments.
Flow Power CEO Matthew van der Linden said the partnership closely aligns with Flow Power’s mission to enable customers to play an active role in the energy transition:
“Solar Choice has played a unique and trusted role in Australia’s rooftop solar and battery market for nearly two decades. Partnering with them allows us to offer customers an even stronger pathway from asset selection and installation through to smarter energy retailing that helps those assets perform at their best
“This partnership is about empowering more households and businesses to electrify with confidence, and then to keep extracting value from their systems over time through retail plans that respond to real market signals.“
Solar Choice founder and outgoing Chairman Angus Gemmell said the depth of experience across both organisations would help deliver a more complete electrification ecosystem for customers:
“The combination of Flow Power and Solar Choice’s cumulative 47 years pioneering Australia’s clean energy transition makes for an inspired future for the two companies enabling the full ecosystem of electrification needs of Australian households and businesses.
“With CEO Jeff Sykes’s acumen and operational leadership, now joined with Flow Power’s excellent standing as the nation’s leading clean energy retailer, Solar Choice will continue to thrive.
Solar Choice CEO Jeff Sykes said the partnership preserves Solar Choice’s independence while supporting future growth:
“Flow Power is an ideal partner for Solar Choice as they share our vision of empowering homes and businesses to make well-informed energy decisions and recognise and respect the independent, impartial role we play in the solar and battery market.
“Our installer partners and customers can be confident that nothing about that independence will change. This partnership gives us the backing to scale our impact and help accelerate Australia’s energy transition in a meaningful way.”
