⚡SPARK AFTER DARK PARTY⚡

Melbourne certainly turned it up for GoodWe's Spark After Dark Party!

Bringing together some of the biggest names in Australia's solar and energy storage industry, the evening was all about celebrating an incredible year, recognising outstanding achievements, and thanking the partners and people who make it all possible.

With Australian sporting and media icons Andrew 'Gazey' Gaze and Andy Maher at the helm, there was no shortage of laughs, sharp wit, and entertaining banter.

And when Aussie rock legend Jon Stevens took to the stage, the energy went through the roof! Delivering a powerhouse performance of iconic hits, he made sure the night ended on a high.

Of course, the real stars of the evening were our incredible partners and award winners. Their dedication, innovation, and commitment continue to drive GoodWe's success and Australia's clean energy transition.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and congratulations to all our award winners!

We've got plenty more to share from the evening, including highlights and award announcements. Stay tuned!

And what better way to kick off All Energy Australia 2026?

We're keeping the momentum going at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Come and visit the GoodWe team at stand EE135!

You asked. We listened. GoodWe ESA is now compatible with Amber Electric’s SmartShift.

Your battery already stores energy. Now, eligible ESA systems can automatically respond to wholesale electricity prices, unlocking more opportunities to save and earn. SmartShift creates a personalised plan around your household’s energy use, solar generation, and wholesale prices. It charges when electricity is cheaper, then discharges or exports when stored energy becomes more valuable.

You stay in control, with the option to override SmartShift through the Amber app.

Available to eligible Amber customers in the ACT, NSW, SA, South-East QLD, and VIC.

The latest EcoSmart Kids projects blew us away!

Langwarrin Park Primary School in Victoria recently participated in the EcoSmart Kids program, with the awards coinciding with their science fair.

John caught up with Grade 6 winner Gus, finalist Zenna, and the school’s STEM teacher, Nicole. Gus designed and built a water wheel, while Zenna brought sustainability to life with a working worm farm!

Joining them were Grade 5 winner Grace, Grade 5 finalists Finn and Xavier, and fellow Grade 6 finalist Sophie.

From model wind turbines to displays exploring climate change, ocean pollution, and greener communities, the submissions covered plenty of ground. Students used models, experiments, posters, and videos to explore environmental challenges and share their ideas.

The creativity, ingenuity, and enthusiasm on display made choosing this year’s EcoSmart Kids Awards winners no easy task!

Congratulations to the winners, finalists, and every student who participated. Small hands, big ideas!

Pro surfer and former world champion Joel Parkinson has spent decades travelling the world in search of great waves. At his Northern NSW Airbnb retreat, however, the challenge was closer to home: unreliable grid power.

With intermittent electricity affecting the Main Arm property, Joel needed a solution that could keep the retreat powered and guests comfortable, day and night.

Matt and the team at First Choice Solar designed a tailored solar and battery system that maximises the available roof space and makes the most of every ray of sunshine.

At the heart of the system is the GoodWe ESA, selected for its reliability, scalability, advanced safety features, and detailed app insights. Surrounded by forest, battery safety was also a major consideration, making the ESA’s six levels of safety protection particularly important.

With 48 kWh of battery storage and optimisers across the solar array, the system can capture as much solar energy as possible during the day and carry that power well into the night.

The result? A tailored energy solution designed to keep Joel’s Airbnb retreat powered, comfortable, and ready to welcome guests for years to come.

Because the only waves guests should have to worry about are the ones at the beach.

With offices in NSW and Queensland, First Choice Solar can design a solar and battery solution tailored to your property, energy needs, and lifestyle. Get in touch with the team to start your energy journey: https://www.fcsolar.com.au/

From English willow to the international stage. 🏏

We went behind the scenes at Kookaburra Cricket to watch Alex Carey’s bat come to life, with bat maker Lachlan Dinger taking us through the craftsmanship behind the process.

Then came the finishing touch...

Alex joined us for the reveal as the GoodWe sticker officially took its place on his Kookaburra Kahuna.

As an official bat sponsor, we’re proud to take our partnership with Alex to the crease. Keep an eye out for the GoodWe name when Alex steps out for Australia!

A new chapter for renewable energy training in the Pacific. GoodWe’s John Wright recently attended the official opening of the Pacific Sustainable Energy Training Centre at The University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.

John caught up with Geoff Stapleton AO to discuss the journey behind the Centre and its important role in developing renewable energy skills across the Pacific.

GoodWe is proud to have supported the Centre with donated equipment for hands-on student training. From smaller PV systems through to the latest energy storage technology, students can now gain practical experience using equipment they may encounter in the field.

Congratulations to The University of the South Pacific, Sustainable Energy Industry Association of the Pacific Islands - Seiapi, Geoff Stapleton AO, GSES Australia, and everyone who helped turn this long-held vision into reality.
