Anyone in the space of Solar in Australia?

Hi there,

I am trying to get a better understanding of the solar environment in Australia (NSW, QLD, VIC). However, having talked to a few retailers and installers, the feedback vaires a lot, especially when it comes to margins. While many say that they are suffering high competition and shrinking margins, others claim to have solid EBITDA margins of above 20%.

Anyone experience on the margins of solar installers and retailers?

There are over###-###-#### installers in Australia, but does anyone know the number of retailers?

Best, Tab

I'm not across the numbers, but the folks over at OpenSolar would be my go-to on the Australian market, Adam Pryor leads global operations from Sydney. SolarChoice also publishes a solar index each year outlining the cost drivers for installers.

Hi Tabraiz - I was also going to suggest Mike Cohen if you haven't already spoken with him.
