On the 4th YEA Podcast, Markus Lambert interviews Dan Spence, owner of SolarWide, a solar power company located on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Spence attributes the company's success to prioritising quality in products and installations. His company concentrates on selling high-end solar systems to withstand challenging coastal conditions.

Spence cautions against cheap, unreliable systems and emphasizes that failed solar panels typically need replacing rather than repair. Notably, the demand for solar battery installations has surged due to increased awareness about power security and sustainability.

He believes staff happiness and customer satisfaction drive the company's positive reputation, reflected in numerous five-star Google reviews. He also highlights the growing demand for EV charger installations.

Finally, the conversation alerts customers to misconceptions about battery capabilities and warns against solar shark businesses using small batteries as a lure to upsell. The pair also discuss the environmental implications of poor-quality solar panels and the importance of regular maintenance.
