Solar Nerds has named Positive Energy Solutions a Top 5 Solar and Battery Installer in Western Australia. This recognition comes from their annual Solaris Awards report. The report uses 2025 installation data. We placed #5 for overall solar volume in WA. We placed #4 for total battery installations. We ranked #2 in the state for the 15–40 kW solar segment.
This recognition is separate from the 2026 SunWiz Awards, and independently earned. Positive Energy Solutions also received the SunWiz Awards this year. Solar Nerds uses different measures: market share percentages and kilowatt volumes across specific system size segments. Together, these two independent rankings paint a consistent picture of where we sit in the WA solar market.
1. What Solar Nerds and the Solaris Awards Are
Solar Nerds is an Australian solar industry content and data site. It is powered by Solaris Finance. Solar Nerds publishes quarterly and annual installation data reports. These reports draw from Clean Energy Regulator records. That is the same source the industry uses to check what gets installed, by whom, and where.
The Solaris Awards are Solar Nerds’ annual recognition program. They recognise the top-performing solar and battery installers across Australia and by state. Installation volume data decides the rankings. They do not come from customer nominations, judging panels, or business ties. The 2025 Solaris Awards report covers the full 2025 calendar year. Solar Nerds published the report in early 2026.
2. What Positive Energy Solutions Was Recognised For
#5 Solar Installer — Western Australia (0–100 kW)
The overall solar volume category for WA covers residential and smaller commercial systems up to 100 kW. Positive Energy Solutions placed fifth statewide in this category. That is a 1.93% solar market share. We installed over 5,200 kW of solar across Western Australia in 2025. WA has one of the highest solar adoption rates in the country, with a competitive installer market. A top-five position here reflects genuine installation volume at scale.
#4 Battery Installer — Western Australia
For battery storage volume, Positive Energy Solutions placed fourth across all WA installers. We hold a 2.81% battery market share. We installed 9,534 kWh of battery capacity in 2025. Our battery market share is proportionally higher than our solar market share. That reflects our model directly: we only install solar and battery systems together. Every customer who comes to us gets a battery as part of their system. It is not an afterthought or an optional extra.
#2 in the 15–40 kW Solar Segment — Western Australia
The standout result in the Solar Nerds data is our position in the 15-40 kW solar segment. We ranked second in the state. This size range sits above the standard 6.6 kW or 10 kW residential system. It covers larger homes with higher energy needs. It also covers properties with multiple phases or larger roof areas, and smaller commercial installations. Ranking second in WA in this segment shows we are a go-to choice. This applies both to standard residential systems and to households and properties with more complex energy needs.
3. Two Independent Rankings, One Consistent Result
Positive Energy Solutions received recognition from both Solar Nerds and SunWiz in the same year. These are two separate organisations. They use different methods and report different numbers. Yet they arrive at the same general result about where we sit in the WA market.
SunWiz’s rankings named Positive Energy Solutions #1 Local Solar Hero for Perth Inner and #3 Battery Installer in WA. These rankings are based on CER registry data and cover the 2025 calendar year. Solar Nerds’ Solaris Awards placed us at #5 solar and #4 battery across WA. These rankings use market share and volume figures from the same underlying data. The specific numbers differ because the methods differ. But the message is clear: we operate at the top tier of the WA solar and battery market.
Independent recognition from two separate bodies is harder to dismiss than recognition from one. Two organisations worked independently with the same source data. When they reach similar results, that is a reliable signal.
4. What the Numbers Reflect
Installation volume rankings come from business decisions made consistently over time. For Positive Energy Solutions, those decisions are:
- Solar and battery only: Positive Energy Solutions does not offer solar-only systems. Every installation includes battery storage. This shows up in our battery market share (2.81%). That is proportionally higher than our solar market share (1.93%). It also shows up in consistent top-5 WA battery rankings across both Solar Nerds and SunWiz.
- Perth and WA focus: Positive Energy Solutions does not spread its work across multiple states. The volume in these rankings comes from concentrated, local work across Perth and Western Australia. This means we bring the knowledge, relationships, and responsiveness of a local business, at scale.
- Quality at volume matters too. It is easy to reach high installation volume by cutting corners on design, engineering, or product quality. Positive Energy Solutions’ model is different. Every system gets an in-house engineering review. We use our accredited installers, SunPower P-Series panels, and independent Omnidian monitoring. This means the volume in these rankings is built on a consistent quality standard.
5. What This Means When You are Comparing Solar Companies
Independent installation data rankings give you something marketing cannot. They provide a checked, side-by-side view of what a company is actually doing in the market. Volume alone does not tell the whole story. But it is a meaningful data point alongside product specs, warranties, engineering processes, and after-sales support.
Positive Energy Solutions appears in the top five for both solar and battery installation volume in WA. We also rank top two in the 15-40 kW segment specifically. That is because the Clean Energy Regulator records confirm those systems were installed. These are real homes in Perth and WA with solar and battery systems running right now.
If you are comparing solar and battery companies in Perth, these rankings belong in that comparison. Weigh them alongside the quote, the product specifications, and the warranty terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Solar Nerds and the Solaris Awards?
Solar Nerds is an Australian solar industry data and content site. It publishes quarterly and annual installation reports based on Clean Energy Regulator data. The Solaris Awards are its annual recognition of the top solar and battery installers by state and nationally. Checked installation volume decides the awards, not nominations, judging panels, or sponsor ties.
What does #5 solar installer in WA mean in practice?
Across all solar installers in Western Australia in 2025, Positive Energy Solutions ranked fifth. This is by total solar installation volume. We installed over 5,200 kW of solar across WA in 2025. This represents a 1.93% market share of all solar installed in the state that year.
What is the 15-40 kW solar segment?
This covers solar systems larger than standard residential size. Examples include larger homes with higher energy use, properties with multiple phases, or smaller commercial installations. Positive Energy Solutions ranked #2 in WA in this segment in 2025. This shows a strong position in more complex, higher-demand solar projects. That goes beyond the standard 6.6 kW or 10 kW residential system.
How does this differ from the SunWiz Awards Positive Energy Solutions also received?
SunWiz and Solar Nerds are separate organisations. Both track Australian solar installation data using Clean Energy Regulator records. SunWiz awarded Positive Energy Solutions #1 Local Solar Hero for Perth Inner and #3 Battery Installer in WA for 2025. Solar Nerds’ Solaris Awards placed us at #5 solar and #4 battery in WA for the same period. They use different ranking methods and market share figures. Both draw on the same underlying CER data. Both independently recognise us as a top-tier WA installer.
Does Positive Energy Solutions install solar without a battery?
No. Positive Energy Solutions only designs and installs solar and battery systems, not solar alone. Every system we build includes battery storage from day one. Our battery market share (2.81%) is proportionally higher than our solar market share (1.93%). That reflects it directly.
