CASE STUDY - FAMILY HOME, MANLY

Thoughts from the homeowner

“I had a solar system installed a few years ago. Although adding a home battery and transitioning to an EV had been on my list for some time, I found it challenging to find clear, independent, and reliable advice. This uncertainty caused me to put my plans on hold.

However, after connecting with the team from My Energy Guide, I was able to seamlessly navigate this journey.  Within weeks I confidently purchased a home battery and an EV, knowing I was making well-informed decisions.

I am expecting to see a significant drop in our annual expenditure, and I was thrilled to see the impact that the investment will also have on our household's carbon footprint."
