Jeff Wehl, founder and managing
director of the company explains
how he started, “Rather than start a
business which just offered services
such as installing electric supply
points, we wanted to take it from the
perspective of where we can come in
and audit your home and business and
save you money.
“In 2008 that was something quite
different and as luck would have it,
that has grown and expanded. We
incorporated in 2009 and we are now
at a stage where we do not really do
traditional electrical work any more.
We are purely a solar and energy
management company.
“One of our first projects was an
energy efficiency assessment for
Bank of Queensland. That was when
the first lot of government legislations
came through about greenhouse gas
emissions. As Bank of Queensland is
a large company they had to engage
an independent auditor to go through
their business and determine their
level of greenhouse gas emissions
based on their electricity use.
“I audited a number of typical
branches and used that to form
a baseline and then I was able to
deliver a report meeting the national
greenhouse emissions reporting
act.
