Why use SolarScience

SolarScience is all about helping you hit the triple bottom line of energy saving, power reliability and environmental sustainability.
For us, the social contract of affordable energy, keeping the lights on and ensuring a clean planet for future generations is non-negotiable.
By bringing together our years of experience in academic research, engineering consultancy advising government, and working at the cutting edge of large financial corporates, we have developed our System-ROI optimisation tool that puts the power back in your hands.

Unequivocal trust

We have no affiliations with energy providers or solar installers ensuring that our information is 100% objective and entirely focused on delivering the best financial return for you.

Powerful engine

For each location, our algorithms perform 6.6 million calculations considering hourly household consumption , solar panel production and battery storage over 25 years to ensure we provide you with the most accurate results.

Top scientific data

We consider 10 years of location specific data for daily solar irradiance, cloud cover , temperature and wind from the Bureau of Meteorology for all of Australia. Our results are further validated against CSIRO data.

Renewable Energy

Find out what's already happening in your state, what's likely to happen given the Paris 2050 agreement to limit global warming, and the variation in optimal solar and battery setups based on our System-ROI tool. Optimal being the system with the highest Return On Investment (ROI) for you.
