Cut your energy bills — independent advice, not just solar.

Where are you overpaying? One audit checks the lot:
  • Every rebate & incentive you qualify for — federal and your state, spelled out clearly (they're often worth thousands, and easy to miss)
  • Whether your plan & tariff are competitive — and exactly what to switch to
  • The solar size that actually pays — or if it doesn't yet
  • If a battery stacks up, plus the free & cheapest-power windows
  • Hot water — shifting your biggest load onto cheap power
  • Equipment worth trusting, chosen on merit not commission — and a step-by-step plan

Illustrative sample · your report models sizes against your actual usage

Clean energy for homes has become confusing on purpose.

Every installer's quote is shaped by what's in their warehouse and what earns them the most margin. Sizing, batteries, heat pumps, the new free-power rules — it's hard to know who's giving you straight advice.

We sit on your side of the table. We don't sell or install anything, so the only thing our advice is shaped by is what's right for your home and your bill.

How it works

Three steps. No site visit, no sales call.

Everything runs off your most recent energy bill and a few details about your home.

01

Send us your bill

Upload your latest energy bill and tell us about your home, your usage, and any solar you already have. Takes a few minutes.

02

We engineer your audit

We decode your bill, model the numbers against your actual consumption, and our engineering team & a CEC-accredited designer review every report before it goes out.

03

Get your independent report

A clear 6–8 page report: what suits your home, what it'll save, and exactly what to insist on when you get quotes.

What's in your audit

Straight, engineered advice — for homes and businesses.

Homes and businesses overpay in different places, so the two audits look at different things. Here's what each one covers.

For your home Residential · $250
01 · Bill

Your bill, decoded

Whether your plan, tariff and feed-in rate are actually competitive — and what to switch.

02 · Solar

Which size pays

ROI on several system sizes against your usage, with the size we'd recommend and why.

03 · Battery

Battery + cheap power

Whether a battery stacks up, and how to bank the cheapest — and where you live, free — power windows.

04 · Hot water

Heat pump hot water

Moving your biggest load onto solar — sizing, rebates and payback.

05 · Rebates

Every rebate you qualify for

Federal and state incentives you're entitled to — often worth thousands, and easy to miss.

06 · Equipment

Gear we'd trust

Specific brand-independent recommendations chosen on performance and value, not commission.

07 · Install

What to insist on

Blackout protection, grid-charging, monitoring — the things quotes quietly leave out.

08 · Plan

Your action plan

Sequenced by payback, so you know exactly what to do first — and what can wait.

For your business Commercial · $1,000
01 · Tariff

Your tariff, decoded

Whether you're on the right network and demand tariff — and what switching or renegotiating is worth.

02 · Demand

Demand-charge reduction

Interval-data analysis of the peak-demand spikes driving your bill, and how to flatten them.

03 · Solar

Solar sized to your load

Three-phase sizing to your actual consumption for maximum self-consumption — not an oversized system.

04 · Storage

Storage & peak shaving

Whether a battery pays by shaving peak demand and shifting load — or if it doesn't stack up yet.

05 · Incentives

Certificates you can claim

The federal STCs/LGCs and any state certificate scheme your site qualifies for.

06 · Efficiency

Power factor & loads

Power-factor correction, HVAC, refrigeration and process loads — the operational wins worth chasing.

07 · Metering

Metering & monitoring

What to measure so the savings are verified over time, not just assumed.

08 · Plan

A staged capex plan

Sequenced by payback and ROI — ready to take to your board or your installer.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to already have solar?

No. If you don't have solar, we model which system size would actually pay off for your home. If you do, we check whether it's sized right, performing, and worth expanding.

What do I need to provide?

Your most recent energy bill and a few details about your home and how you use power. No site visit or sales call — it all runs off your bill.

Are you going to try to sell me a system?

No. We don't sell or install anything. You pay for the audit, and that's the whole transaction. Take our advice to any installer you like.

How long does it take?

You'll have your reviewed report back within a few business days. Every report is checked and signed off by our engineering team & a CEC-accredited designer before it reaches you.

Is the advice reliable?

Reports are engineered from your actual consumption and reviewed by our engineering team & a CEC-accredited designer. Figures are estimates, not guarantees — final design is confirmed by your installer.
