In the heart of the Whitsundays, Green Energy Technologies (GET), a company owned and operated by locals for locals, boldly blazes the trail towards North Queensland's renewable future.
Established in 2010 by director Kon Flaherty and James Webb, GET has experienced explosive growth from a small team of five to over 90 dedicated staff, witnessing a tremendous 30 per cent growth rate each year across offices in the Whitsundays, Mackay and Townsville. GET is Queensland's number one solar installer, delivering expertly tailored solar and battery solutions to homes and businesses across the region for over 15 years.
For Whitsundays locals, GET’s unwavering commitment to community-driven service guarantees that sustainable energy is affordable and accessible for decades to come. All of which is made possible through the steadfast effort of GET’s expert staff.
One such expert is Senior Renewable Energy Specialist, Ian Eman, who joined GET in 2019.
Ian brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from his background as an electrical engineer and his time at United Energy in Victoria. Transitioning to GET after a stint in real estate, Ian now fuses his technical proficiency with his strong customer relationship skills in order to deliver client-focused solar and battery solutions to Whitsunday locals.
“Our goal is simple; our entire focus is the client's electricity bill and how to reduce it to zero.
“That’s what sets us apart, we are not a product-focused solar company, our focus is on our clients,” explains Ian.
GET achieves this goal through premium solar systems and an innovative monitoring application that tracks savings, identifies battery needs and ensures long-term performance. The systems are built to endure, with warranties and guarantees for a minimum of 10 years. Installation takes just 4-6 weeks, and every GET system brings with it a lifetime service guarantee covering repairs, maintenance, and diagnostics.
For Ian and the GET team, affordability is a key priority; therefore, to dispel the myth that switching to solar costs $10,000 to $40,000 upfront, Ian draws attention to Government rebates and zero-interest green loans, which make the switch to solar seamless, requiring no upfront costs.
"Clients save money immediately with their repayments being less than or equal to what they pay for remaining on the grid.” Ian added.
It is important to note that the environmental impact is profound. A 6.6 kW system offsets carbon equivalent to replanting 300 trees annually, while a 13kW system doubles that to 600 trees. This aligns with GET’s mission to transition Australia to renewables with “a reliable, high-performance solar solution, backed by our savings guarantee.”
GET understands the Whitsundays’ unique needs and empowers residents to embrace clean energy to contribute to a greener future for Queensland.
