Announcement posted by 3Quotes 03 Aug 2015

Originally focusing exclusively on solar power, this innovative start-up has swiftly expanded their strategic direction to provide a comparison service for the latest green and energy-saving solutions for the Australian ‘smart home’.
With over 56% of 3Quotes®’ solar customers requesting energy storage solutions in the past month, the 3Quotes team believes the renewable energy market in Australia is about to turn to home-based renewable power generation, energy storage and electric powered vehicles (EVs) in a big way.
“Recently we have seen a significant increase in quote requests for energy storage solutions with the majority of solar customers also seeking storage”, says Owen Lee, Head of Business Development at 3Quotes.
This trend is posing a great challenge to the energy companies who are scrambling to adapt. The soon to be launched Tesla Powerwall will provide the opportunity for millions of homeowners to make the switch to off-grid moving away from both electricity companies and government subsidies.
“The introduction of affordable storage solutions for the retail market means that Australia’s 1 million solar homes can now choose to cut electricity companies out of the picture”, says Mr Lee.
The timing has never been better for Australians, with high-efficiency solar systems and disruptive solutions like the Powerwall slashing electricity costs, our sunburnt land is fast becoming a testing ground for the world. Morgan Stanley forecasts AGL and Origin could experience a $40 million annual earnings drop by 2016 as a result of customers going off-grid.
A leader in online comparison of green technologies, 3Quotes’ free service is helping homeowners make informed choices on procuring efficient, renewable energy solutions from the biggest certified providers in Australia.
Having serviced over 50,000 households since 2011, 3Quotes now specialises in the following 3 key areas:
- Solar Power
- Energy Storage
- Electric Vehicles (EVs)
These solutions are made even more accessible by the 3Quotes’ partnerships with innovative finance companies who offer advice on financial planning as well as loans for the purchase and installation of renewable products.
