Current focus

Nine sites live, chasing a council-scale tender with partners.

Looking for

Finance partners · Installation capacity · Tender consortium members

What problem are you solving?: Farms at the end of a long feeder pay the most for the worst power, and outages cost them crops and pumping windows.
Who does it help?: Irrigators, packing sheds and remote community facilities.
What is the innovation?: Containerised solar-plus-storage microgrids with a shared monitoring layer across sites.
What are your barriers?: Grid connection approvals and upfront capital for growers already carrying debt.
What do you need?: Finance partners and installers with capacity in the wet season.
Would you like to collaborate?: Yes — especially on larger tenders where a single small firm can't bid alone.
