"We’ve used Rest Energy twice now, and their service delivery was excellent with prompt no problems attitude. Any query we had was answered promptly, and no problem was too big. We have made recommendations to all our family and friends who are looking at solar. So far about 6 or 7 now have solar and I will keep on recommending them."

"George has a lot of knowledge which was good as we had no idea. We ended up with a really successful solar system that was installed in an efficient and quick manner. It works great and looks good on the roof too, which is nice because everyone is commenting on it, and we haven’t had a power bill since they installed it."

"Rest Energy were awesome quick, honest and professional. We spoke to door to door people prior to engaging REST, and we were surprised just how much nonsense they were feeding us. Thankfully we chose George and his team. We’ve never had any issues, the system is proven and works beautifully, what more can I say."

Which system is right for you?
Grid Connect
There are two reasons why people choose solar, Economical and Environmental.
Many of our customers want to reduce or eliminate reliance from energy retailers and to future proof their household budget against rising energy costs.
We have other customers who are simply adding solar as they have a desire to contribute to the reduction in greenhouse emissions.
The fact is no matter what your reasons are for choosing solar its a good one! Your money invested today will pay dividends in a few short years to come, Your return on investment ( ROI) is usually 4.5 - 5 years
Battery Storage - Hybrid
Battery Storage or often referred to as Hybrid Systems has the benefit of storing your harvested excess PV from during the day and then used at night to power your appliances and lights during the evening.
The time has finally arrived where battery storage can be a real economical investment, depending on certain factors ,with the current retailer offering 9c Kwh for any excess generated PV sold back to them it is becoming economically viable to install batteries in certain circumstances. Some systems also allow you to have an UPS arrangements in the event of a power outage, The battery can power the home to keep essentials going until the grid is restored.
This may or may not be a smart option for you, factors such as how big your PV system is, are people home during the day to use the power generated and grid stability in your area are just some of the issues, George can help you work through these decisions after establishing an idea of your electricity usage profile and your other factors
Off Grid
If you are considering going off grid there are a few things you need to consider.
REST Energy is fully CEC compliant to assist you in designing and installing an energy system completely removed from the grid. REST Energy only uses the most reliable and industry proven inverters/chargers and batteries to ensure your investment is a sound one.
This is a complex area of the Renewable industry and whilst many companies sell on grid systems most are either Non CEC compliant or dont have a detailed understanding of the complexities of the Off Grid industry.
