Solpod’s mission is to enable more businesses to benefit from rooftop solar; generating savings and driving the transition to a sustainable, clean energy future.
Our Solpod Rental product makes it easier for your business to adopt solar. Our solar pods are re-deployable so that we can offer a simple, no-regret solution for as little as one year.
Solpod was founded in Melbourne in 2017 by a team of solar executives who were aware that many businesses were excluded from acquiring solar. Whether businesses buy or lease a solar system, they typically need to commit 10-plus years to achieve savings.
Solpod aims at serving rooftop solar in a way that works for businesses and makes it easier to adopt.
With extensive experience in solar, finance and infrastructure, the Solpod team sought to find a new approach to help more businesses benefit from solar. The Solpod team developed an innovative solar design of prefabricated pods (10 solar panels to a pod), which are craned and positioned onsite.
Solpod’s unique solar design and solution means that not only are our solar panels efficient to install, they are relocatable and do not penetrate roofs or void roof warranties.
Solpod means your business can now rent solar panels over a short time frame and have the flexibility to end the rental when circumstances change.
More commercial premises can now reduce their electricity costs and benefit from accessing renewable energy. Solpod can help your business reduce carbon emissions, helping to meet your ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) objectives.
Our Australian made product has been extensively tried and tested. We have received the support of the Australian Government through an ARENA (Australian Renewable Energy Agency) grant. We received Most Innovative Solar Solution 2019 at the Solar Cutters Award.
We have a passion for working towards a sustainable future through maximising the capability of solar. We are proud of the product we have created and hope that your company may consider Solpod if previously solar was out of reach.
