Noosa Electric Co Returns to Sunshine Beach EV Expo – Join Us June 22!

We’re excited to announce that Noosa Electric Co will be attending the EV & Electrify Everything Expo for the third year in a row, happening on June 21 2026. As a proudly local electrician servicing Noosa, Pomona, Bli Bli, Twin Waters and beyond, we’re passionate about supporting the Sunshine Coast’s transition to cleaner, smarter energy solutions — and there’s no better place to explore the future of electrification than this fantastic community event.

Last year’s expo was a great success, with locals turning out in force to learn about electric vehicles, solar technology, battery storage, and all things sustainable. This year, we’re bringing even more insight, experience and practical knowledge to the table — especially when it comes to home and business electrification.

At our stand, you’ll be able to chat with our friendly team about:

• EV charging station installations for homes and commercial properties
• The role of solar energy and battery storage in reducing energy costs
• Upgrading switchboards to support modern electrification needs
• The growing importance of electrification in homes and businesses across the Sunshine Coast
• Integrating air-conditioning, appliance upgrades, and lighting solutions into a more efficient electrical future

Whether you’re an EV owner looking to charge smarter at home, a business interested in reducing your carbon footprint, or simply curious about how electrification can improve your home, we’re here to help with practical, long-term advice.

We’re not just your average Sunshine Coast electrician. At Noosa Electric Co, we believe in doing things properly — offering quality electrical solutions that stand the test of time. We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re proud of that. We take the time to make sure every job is done right, whether it’s a residential installation, solar upgrade, or commercial fit-out.

Come meet us at the Sunshine Beach EV Expo on June 21 and let’s talk about how we can help you electrify your future with confidence.

If you’re thinking about adding a battery to your home or business, now is an excellent time to act. The new government Home Battery Subsidy makes battery storage more affordable than ever across the Sunshine Coast.

What is the Battery Subsidy?

The Home Battery Subsidy provides an approximately 30% discount on eligible battery systems.
It is not means-tested and is available to:

• Households
• Businesses
• Community facilities such as sports clubs, halls and community centres

This makes it easier for more Australians to store solar energy, reduce reliance on the grid and cut power bills.

It won’t be means-tested and offers an approximately 30 per cent discount on batteries for households, businesses and community facilities such as sports centres or town halls. [SRC: ABC]

What is the right size battery for my home?

Every property is different, and the right battery depends on how and when you use electricity. However, recent research by the Smart Energy Council shows that most households need a smaller battery than they expect.

To avoid drawing power during the expensive evening peak:

• Over 90% of households could manage with a 6–7kWh battery
• Many popular battery systems on the market are around 13kWh, which is often more than required

A correctly sized battery can deliver excellent savings without unnecessary upfront cost.

If you’re unsure what size is right for your home or business, our experienced team can assess your usage and recommend a solution that makes sense for you.

How do I get the subsidy?

When you purchase your battery through Noosa Electric Co., the subsidy will be applied directly to your quote, so you’ll see the reduced price upfront. We handle the process for you, making it simple and hassle-free.

When can I get a subsidised battery?

Subsidised battery installations will commence from 1 July 2025.
To avoid delays and secure your place, we recommend registering your interest early.

What brand of batteries do you install?

We only install quality, proven battery brands that are:

• Designed for Australian conditions
• Reliable and safe
• Compatible with your existing solar and electrical systems

The best battery depends on your energy goals, property layout and future plans (such as EV charging). Our team will talk you through the options and help you choose the most suitable brand and model.
