Positive Energy Solutions is an award-winning solar and battery company in Perth. Four separate groups recognise us on their own: SolarQuotes, SunWiz, EUPD Research, and Solar Nerds. Each one looks at us from a different angle. Each one reaches the same result.
This post covers what each organisation found. It also covers what the data shows. And it covers what this means for Perth homeowners choosing a solar and battery installer.
Why Independent Recognition Matters
Search for ‘best solar installer Perth’ and you will find dozens of articles ranking local companies. Almost none of them are independent. Most come from:
- Lead generation websites. These charge installers for referrals or for placement.
- Affiliate comparison sites. These earn a commission when you click through.
- Publications that accept sponsored content and label it as editorial.
- Review aggregators. These let companies selectively ask for reviews.
The result is simple. Companies with the biggest marketing budgets appear on many ‘top 10’ lists. This happens no matter their actual track record. For Perth homeowners making a $10,000–$20,000 decision, this is a real problem.
The most reliable signals come from groups with no money at stake in who wins. These include independent research firms, data companies, and review sites with verified reviews. Several of these groups have checked Positive Energy Solutions on their own. Each one reached the same result.
What Independent Organisations Say About Positive Energy Solutions
Independent groups have given Positive Energy Solutions the following awards and accreditations. Each award is based on data, verified reviews, or a formal review process. Each one reflects a different part of our performance.
All awards are current as of June 2026. SunWiz data is based on 2024 review analysis. The SolarQuotes review count reflects the qualifying 3-year window.
What Makes SolarQuotes the Gold Standard for Review Data
Finn Peacock founded SolarQuotes in 2009. He is a former CSIRO electrical engineer. SolarQuotes is Australia’s largest independent solar review site. Here is what makes it reliable:
- Reviews are uncensored. Companies cannot remove or hide reviews they dislike.
- Reviewers are verified. SolarQuotes confirms each reviewer was an actual customer before it publishes the review.
- Recent reviews matter more too. The Legendary tier requires 200+ reviews within the last three years. This means past performance cannot mask current problems.
- No paid placement. The rating is calculated automatically, and it cannot be bought.
Positive Energy Solutions holds the Legendary badge, the top tier. We have 383 qualifying reviews and a 4.95 average. As of June 2026, only a small number of solar companies across Australia have reached this level. Positive Energy Solutions consistently ranks among the top WA solar companies for review count on this site.
What SunWiz Found When They Analysed the Data
SunWiz is Australia’s leading solar market data company. It has tracked installation data from the Clean Energy Regulator since 2009. Its annual awards are decided only by verified installation volume. There is no judging panel. There are no nominations. And there is no paid placement.
SunWiz announced the 2026 Awards on 7 May 2026, based on 2025 installation data. Positive Energy Solutions received the #1 Local Solar Hero award for Perth Inner. We also placed #3 among all battery storage installers in Western Australia. Read the full breakdown of both awards in our 2026 SunWiz Awards post.
What EUPD Research Found
EUPD Research is a globally respected energy market research firm. It was set up in 2000. It works in 50+ countries. Companies, industry groups, and government agencies worldwide cite its research. It launched the EUPD Research Top PV Installer Award to find the best solar installers in Australia.
Assessment criteria include systems installed, geographic coverage, business strategy, growth rate, and customer focus. Positive Energy Solutions was recognised as one of just five WA solar companies at this level. Real performance data decided this award, not self-nomination.
What 383 Verified Reviews Actually Tell You
A single five-star review tells you very little. Almost 400 reviews collected over three years tell you a lot more. This site does not allow censorship. The volume matters. Keeping a 4.95 average across hundreds of genuine, uncensored reviews is hard. Very few companies manage it.
The same pattern shows up across platforms. Positive Energy Solutions holds a 4.9 out of 5 from more than 390 Google reviews. This is one of the highest Google ratings of any solar installer in Perth. We also hold 383 verified reviews on SolarQuotes. This pattern across independent platforms is the real signal.
Common themes across Positive Energy Solutions reviews on SolarQuotes include:
- Clear, honest communication throughout the sales and installation process
- Installations completed on schedule with minimal disruption
- Clean, professional workmanship, consistent across the review history
- Fast, responsive after-sales service when questions come up
- No pressure to upsell or to add products that were not needed
You can check this yourself. Go to the Positive Energy Solutions page on SolarQuotes. Filter reviews from lowest to highest and look at the pattern. Read the one and two-star reviews too. How the company responds tells you as much as the five-star reviews.
What Solar Nerds Found in the Installation Data
Solar Nerds is an Australian solar-industry data site. It tracks installation volumes from Clean Energy Regulator data. Unlike review-based rankings, Solar Nerds measures the actual systems installed. This is an independent way to measure market activity and installer size.
In the 2025 Solaris Awards, covering 2024 calendar year installations, Solar Nerds ranked Positive Energy Solutions as:
- #5 Solar Installer in Western Australia by overall volume (0–100kW systems)
- #4 Battery Installer in Western Australia by total battery capacity installed
- #2 in WA for the 15–40kW solar segment, typically commercial and high-energy residential systems
- Top 10 for 0–15kW residential solar in WA
In total, Positive Energy Solutions installed over 5,200 kW of solar capacity and 9,534 kWh of battery storage in 2024. That is a 1.93% solar market share and a 2.81% battery market share in WA. We install solar and battery together on every job. Our battery market share is consistently above our solar market share. This is a clear sign. It shows we specialise in batteries, which leads to better results over time.
What to Check When Comparing Perth Solar Installers
Review scores and awards are the starting point. Here is what else matters:
Workmanship warranty
Ask every installer what their workmanship warranty covers. Ask how long it lasts too. The industry minimum is 5 years. A longer warranty is a sign the installer stands behind their work. It also gives you real cover if something goes wrong after the install.
SAA accreditation for battery installations
For battery installations under the WA Residential Battery Scheme, your installer must hold Grid Connected Battery System (GCBS) accreditation. This comes through Solar Accreditation Australia. Confirm this before you commit. Not all Perth installers hold it. Without it, you cannot access the WA scheme rebate or the no-interest loan.
Brands installed
Premium solar and battery brands last longer. They also come with stronger Australian warranties and better local support than cheaper brands. Ask what brands are in your quote. Check whether the maker has a local office in Australia. If you cannot find a local office or an authorised dealer, warranty claims could be hard to make.
After-sales support
Ask this directly: who do you call if something goes wrong in year three? Some installers are excellent at installation but hard to reach afterwards. Read the lower-rated reviews on SolarQuotes carefully. After-sales response time is where companies most often fall short.
WA scheme vendor accreditation
To access the WA Residential Battery Scheme rebate, up to $1,300, your installer must be an accredited scheme vendor. The same applies to the no-interest loan, up to $10,000. Positive Energy Solutions is. Confirm this for any installer you are comparing before you decide.
Request Your Quote from Perth’s Most Recognised Solar and Battery Company

This focus means every system is designed from the start to use more of your own solar power and build long-term energy independence. The battery is built into the system design from day one, not added as an afterthought.
Is Positive Energy Solutions an accredited WA Battery Scheme vendor?
