Solar & Battery Are Saving Shire Families Thousands on Their Energy Bills

Think Renewable proudly sponsors the Cronulla Sharks NRL & NRLW

Looking for solar in the Sutherland Shire? Think Renewable installs tailored solar panel and battery systems designed to help local households reduce reliance on the grid and take greater control of energy costs.

With electricity costs continuing to put pressure on household budgets, more local families are looking at solar in the Sutherland Shire as a way to reduce their reliance on the grid. But solar panels are increasingly only part of the equation.

Pairing solar panels with a home battery can allow households to store more of the energy they generate during the day and use it later, when they actually need it.

Think Renewable is a Sutherland Shire solar installer providing residential solar and battery systems across the Shire and greater Sydney. The focus is on finding the right long-term solution, usually solar and battery together rather than panels alone, which only capture part of the savings.

Why Solar Panels and Batteries Work Better Together

Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, but many households use a large portion of their power later in the afternoon and evening, and still end up spending a lot on power from the grid

A solar battery system can store excess energy generated during the day so it can be used later. This can help reduce the amount of electricity a household needs to purchase from the grid, cutting bills by up to 90%.

The right setup will look different for every home, which is why Think Renewable assesses each individual property, its current energy use, and what the household is hoping to achieve before recommending a system.

One local Think Renewable customer reported that bills previously sitting around $550 to $650 a month had dropped to close to zero after installing a new system.

Choosing a Solar Installer in the Sutherland Shire

When comparing solar installers in the Sutherland Shire, price is only one part of the decision.

Think Renewable was founded in 2021 by David Howie, Rory Dixon and Daniel Tonkin after they saw an opportunity to create a more customer-focused experience within the solar industry.

Rather than handing customers between different providers, Think Renewable manages the customer journey in-house, from the initial consultation and system design through to installation and long-term aftercare.

The Australian-owned business has now completed more than 10,000 installations nationwide and operates across NSW, Western Australia and Queensland.

Co-founders Daniel Tonkin and David Howie also call the Sutherland Shire home. Both live locally with their families, giving the business a genuine local connection alongside its wider national footprint.
