New online tool promises to simplify solar and battery installation for Gippsland homeowners

Released in May, Easy Electric SEC is a free website that lets users explore rebates and discounts for electric upgrades to their home, get obligation-free quotes and find local SEC-endorsed installers to complete their upgrades.

Local businesses: Manager of Adsolar & Electrical in Moe, Adam Robertson, told the Monitor his business was approached by the SEC to become a trusted installer.

“The SEC is a really professional organisation and very, very thorough. They went through our business and made sure that we're ticking all the boxes and doing all the right things,” Robertson said.

During the application process, the SEC vetted Adsolar & Electrical to make sure they were a fully licensed installer, had the expertise to shift homes from gas to fully electric systems and offered clear and free quotes.

• Robertson said the SEC also made sure his business was officially authorised to provide government the federal and state rebates to customers.
