What is Sunworks?

Sunworks is a finance package that lets you switch to solar power for around the same cost as your current electricity bill.

With Sunworks, you purchase a solar power system by paying an upfront deposit and then regular fortnightly repayments, comparable to your current electricity account. You may still receive an electricity account from your retailer, however, it will be significantly reduced, zero or in credit.

Simply put, the aim of Sunworks is to replace your existing electricity bill with a solar power system, without adding extra burden to the family budget. Once your solar power system is paid off, you own an energy producing asset, which means free power and zero dollar electricity bills.
