History

It all started in 2009, with a vision of a founding member of iEnergytech to immerse himself in the world of electrical engineering. From this vision, iEnergytech was born, in Australia in 2009, with the sole aim of developing and offering our customers high-quality Electrical Engineering systems, primarily in the field of Renewable Energy.

Building on some 16 years experience with Siemens AG (in East Africa), and influenced by this leading German company’s engineering philosophy, the founder/s were quite clear from the very start what our work would represent:

  • Systems developed using the safest and most rugged of components (manufactured by industry leaders); and

  • installation practices that ensured full compliance with the Australian standards and safety and efficiency for our customers.

Initial research based on working hand-in-hand with installation teams, whether on roofs—in the baking sun, or shivering cold, in cavities, or under basements, etc. for years, led to a close empathy with site conditions and an understanding of the challenges of delivering to standards—in real life, our solutions; it also revealed that the goal we had set ourselves was not as simple as expected. We discovered that installing a compliant solar PV system was going to take a lot more than simply finding top-notch products, qualified A-grade electrician with the necessary solar accreditations and qualified inspectors, and providing compliant designs.

In fact, in the growing face of these challenges, from about 2010 to 2012, iEnergytech had to suspend all marketing activities. Instead only selected projects were undertaken, with direct full-time on-site involvement of the senior management (and founding member/s) of iEnergytech. Electricians were identified who had a genuine interest to learn and install in compliance to the Australian standards—not just persons sporting an A-Grade and a CEC Accreditation, which as we found, at great cost, could mean very little. We started to formulate a set of procedures, processes and methodologies that would ensure full compliance to standards and today, many years later, we can now confidently say ‘We offer safe and near 100% compliant solutions’.

In 2014 iEnergytech, even whilst not a member of the CEC (at the time) was awarded a prestigious and unique (industry-first and -only) award, by the CEC of Australia for the design and construction standards applied in the delivery of a 100kWp PV plant in Victoria. That installation became famous and in many ways set a benchmark in the industry.

Since then we have continued to grow, but in pace with our ability to install to our standards. The iEnergytech standard.
