Is your solar company still relying on a single product to meet customers’ complex energy needs?
As competitors start bundling storage and fast-charging solutions, how can you avoid being reduced to just an ‘installer’ at the end of the supply chain?
Installing solar panels is no longer the finish line for solar businesses — it’s the starting point. A training program spanning Australia’s major cities is rewriting the rules of the game.
Supply Partners is launching a national training series, Diversify Beyond Solar: Diversify Beyond Solar with Commercial Storage & Fast EV Charging, to equip industry professionals with the knowledge and strategies needed to integrate commercial battery storage and EV charging solutions into their business models.
The training sessions, scheduled across Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in April and May, will provide attendees with practical insights on integrating battery energy storage systems (BESS) into commercial proposals, re-marketing BESS to existing clients, and leveraging EV chargers as a revenue stream.
The sessions will also cover front-of-meter opportunities, off-grid solutions, and strategies to overcome supply constraints with battery storage versus grid upgrades.
“These aren’t your standard industry events,” Supply Partners said in a statement.
“They’re built around real-world scenarios, engaging discussions, and practical takeaways—all designed to help Australian solar businesses confidently expand into commercial storage and EV charging without impacting their core solar sales.”
A key highlight of the event is the inclusion of a feasibility service valued at $600 for each ticket-purchasing company. This service provides a comprehensive analysis of solar and battery system feasibility based on electricity interval data and bills, assisting businesses in securing their first or next BESS project.
Event schedule:
- Perth: 3 April – Optus Stadium
- Sydney: 9-10 April – Smart Energy Expo, ICC Sydney
- Melbourne: 1 May – Novotel Melbourne Preston
- Brisbane: 15 May – Easts Leagues Club
The event is designed for solar business owners, installers, project managers, energy consultants, and senior management professionals looking to diversify their offerings and tap into new revenue streams.
As the demand for commercial energy solutions grows, businesses that integrate battery storage and fast EV charging into their services will be well-positioned for long-term success.
With industry trends showing an increasing shift toward comprehensive energy solutions, Diversify Beyond Solar aims to provide actionable takeaways that attendees can implement immediately.
The sessions will emphasise how businesses can expand without major operational changes, leveraging external support and services to drive growth while maintaining their core focus on solar installations.
Seats are limited, and Supply Partners encourages early registration to secure a spot at this essential training event.
