Energy Solution Centre in Nerang grows 213%

A solar and battery business grew 213% revenue in 2026.

Energy Solution Centre started in 2013. The founders refused to use pushy sales tactics that crowded Queensland's solar market.

Lucio and Josh Siri built showrooms where customers can see and compare solar panels, batteries, EV chargers and energy tech side by side. The business now runs three showrooms.

It has helped more than 5,000 Queensland homes and businesses switch to renewable energy. Energy Solution Centre has 40 employees.

It has grown beyond solar into battery storage, EV charging and energy management systems. It uses its own installation and support teams.

The company plans to add more showrooms across Queensland over the next 12 months. Eventually it will expand the model nationally.
