Aldi Australia has revealed plans to expand its residential solar energy program to key urban areas along the East Coast, offering residents an affordable and uncomplicated route to renewable energy.
The initiative, which had its pilot run in Victoria, is now accepting pre-orders in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory. The company plans to start installations in early November.
The basic package, which starts at $6999, includes a 6.6kW solar system coupled with a 5.5kW inverter, and an option for battery storage. Each system comes with a 10-year product warranty and a 25-year performance assurance for the solar panels.
Simon Padovani-Ginies, group director at Aldi Australia, spoke about the expansion. “Making Aldi Solar available to more Australians along the Eastern Seaboard is an exciting advancement for us, as we extend our commitment to delivering exceptional quality and affordability beyond our grocery offerings,” he said.
He added that with transparent pricing, flexible battery storage options, installations by licensed professionals, and an impressive return on investment period, Aldi Solar is empowering households ready to take charge of their energy expenses.
Aldi has stated that the program is completely managed through the Aldi Solar online portal. Here, customers can schedule assessments, receive cost estimates, and stay updated on their installation timeline. All systems will be installed by SAA-accredited professionals, with the majority of installations expected to be completed within a day.
The service is now accessible to residents in various Australian cities, including Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast.
