YOUR ENTRY INTO SMARTER, MORE RESILIENT ENERGY
Start with certainty. Join PowerHub Energy Service.
PowerHub isn’t just another electricity retailer — it’s a smarter way to access energy.
As a PowerHub Member, you unlock a technology-led energy service designed around stability, flexibility, and long-term cost control. No fixed-term contracts. No upfront capital. Just a better way to power your home.
We work alongside your household to optimise how and when you use electricity — helping you stay in control as the energy market evolves.
Key Benefits:
-
Access to cost-plus, transparent electricity pricing
-
Designed for modern, high-energy homes (EVs, pools, appliances)
-
Foundation for advanced energy solutions (battery, solar, smart home)
-
Ongoing optimisation through PowerHub’s technology platform
Think of it as moving from a power bill... to a power strategy.
Add-On: Home Battery
RESILIENCE + PRICE OPTIMISATION IN ONE SYSTEM
Take control of your power — day and night.
Upgrade your membership with a PowerHub home battery — your personal energy buffer.
Our all-in-one EcoWave battery stores electricity when it’s cheaper and releases it when prices spike or the grid goes down. That means greater energy security, lower exposure to spot price volatility, and uninterrupted comfort at home.
This is where PowerHub shifts from retailer... to energy orchestrator.
Key Benefits:
Backup power during outages — keep essentials running
Store o5-peak energy, use at peak prices
Reduce reliance on the national grid
Protect sensitive appliances from surges
No upfront cost under subscription model (BSSaaS)
Tech Snapshot:
-
15kWh battery + 6kW inverter (all-in-one system)
-
Fast response during outages (~milliseconds)
-
Long lifecycle (6,000+ charge cycles)
Your home becomes an energy asset — not just a consumer.
Add-On: Ground-Mounted Solar
GENERATE, STORE, AND USE YOUR OWN ENERGY
Complete the system. Generate your own power.
Take the final step toward energy independence with ground-mounted solar, designed to integrate seamlessly with your PowerHub battery and membership.
If your property allows — garden space, rural land, or fencing contours — solar enables you to produce, store, and consume your own electricity, dramatically reducing your reliance on the grid.
This is where cost control becomes true energy autonomy.
Key Benefits:
-
Generate your own renewable energy
-
Increase self-consumption and self-storage
-
Reduce exposure to wholesale price volatility
-
Lower long-term electricity costs
-
Optimised through PowerHub’s energy platform
-
Easy to clean with less maintenance expenses
System Outcome:
-
Solar generates → Battery stores → Home consumes
-
Grid becomes backup, not dependency
From energy user... to energy producer.
