With seven systems already shining bright and plans for two dozen more by 2026, they’re proving that renewable energy can transform lives. Even better, a portion of every Solar Connected PPA goes directly to the cause, turning every installation into an act of kindness.

A successful year, driven by consumer confidence

GoodWe CEO Daniel Huang

We wish to thank all those who helped to make 2025 another successful year. The industry has seen a sharp increase in consumer confidence across the board, with the roaring success of the Cheaper Home Batteries Program driving home Australia’s desire to take hold of its energy independence.

“The 2025 GoodWe Awards round out another exemplary year of growth, strong relationships, and solid consumer confidence”, stated Dean Williamson. “As GoodWe celebrates 15 years, we are so grateful to all those who have partnered with us on the journey and to the Australian homes and businesses who continue to trust us on their energy journey. We cannot wait to see what 2026 has in store.”

The ESA All-in-One made its debut at All Energy Australia, and Australian homes are poised to embrace the next generation of smart, reliable, and beautifully designed energy storage. With its sleek all-in-one design, rapid installation, and powerful performance, the ESA is setting a new benchmark for home and commercial energy independence.

As GoodWe looks ahead to 2026, innovation remains at the heart of everything we do. From award-winning partnerships to pioneering technology, our mission is simple: to empower every Australian to take control of their energy future.

Congratulations again to all our 2025 GoodWe Award winners and nominees. Your dedication, innovation, and generosity continue to inspire a cleaner, brighter, and more connected world.
