Right now, an inverter approved in one state can be a problem in the next one over. Same product. Different rulebook. Different paperwork. That’s being replaced with one national set of rules. In September 2026, Australia’s energy ministers endorsed the Consumer Energy Na…

NSW is moving on mandatory solar panel recycling. On 21 September 2026 the Government released a draft regulation that would make panel brand owners pay to collect and recycle their own products.  Not homeowners. The companies that sell the panels. It is a proposal f…

Harry Coomans’s Moss Vale home makes more power than it uses. He’s self sufficient, sitting in credit, and charging an electric car for next to nothing on a system that grew with his home. This is one homeowner’s honest Moss Vale solar review, and a look at what a solar and bat…

On 15 September 2026, seven battery models lost their spot on the approved products list. A CEC approved battery is not approved for life. The listing is a live status. It can be suspended, and it can be pulled. If your battery was installed before the suspension date, you a…

Solar for renters has sat in the too-hard basket for years. No roof of your own. No say over what goes on it. No simple way to cut a bill that keeps climbing. That is starting to shift. Every state and territory has now agreed to work with the Commonwealth to make plug-in so…

Two things pushed him. Rising bills, and a nudge from home. Power prices had been climbing, and Andrew wanted to take some of the sting out. Cutting his emissions mattered too. “Helping the environment a bit,” as he put it, with his daughter “in my ear about that.” Both reas…

In Southern NSW and the ACT the winter electricity bill climbs because we use more power at the worst possible time. Heaters work harder. Hot water runs longer. The sun clocks off early and most usage lands in the evening, the most expensive time of day to be pulling from the g…

From September 1st, a NSW business can cut the upfront cost of a battery by around 20 to 40%. For the first time Solar batteries for businesses in NSW are now properly covered by a state scheme. How much comes off depends on the size of your battery, the installer you pick…

South Australia just proved that solar is capable of supporting the electricity grid. In a recent event observed by the AEMO, rooftop solar met 99.9% of grid demand setting a new record for winter. Here is what happened: What South Australia’s solar record actually was…

Sigenergy vs Goodwe, the two biggest battery brands on the market right now. They look similar, but every day I have clients asking me what are the actual differences between them. Here at Lenergy we prefer Sigenergy. This article will break down exactly what the real differ…

Half a million Australian homes now have a solar battery. So Australia’s grid operator, AEMO, took 10,000 of them and compared them to 10,000 homes running solar alone. They found the impact of solar batteries was that homes cut their evening peak grid use by 73%, and we explai…
