Get $200 for every friend you refer^
Refer a friend, family member or neighbour who live in the City of Charles Sturt and if you and your referral both purchase a system from us, we’ll give you both a $200 credit once both your new systems are fully installed.
How it works^
Submit the referral form. The person you refer will get an email from us telling them that you have submitted a referral to ShineHub.
If you both go ahead and purchase a ShineHub solar system you’ll both get a $200 credit in your accounts once both systems are fully installed.
There is no limit on how many referrals you can make, and you’ll get $200 credit for each referral that is successfully installed.
Let’s build Australia’s biggest community of solar homes to change the future of renewable energy.
Referral Frequently asked questions^
It’s unlimited! You can refer as many friends as you like, and when they order solar through ShineHub, both you and your friend will both receive a $200 credit once both systems are fully installed.
If you’re not sure if your referral has gone through just email customers@shinehub.com.au with your details and your referral contact details and we’ll ensure you both get the credit once your systems are fully installed.
Referral bonuses are credited/paid quarterly in the middle of the first month of the quarter. Depending on when the system installations are completed and any remaining amounts have been cleared (including rebates and or subsidies), you will be paid on the next quarterly payment date.
If you choose the PPA payment plan, the $200 credit will be deducted from your next monthly PPA payment. If you’re paying by Brighte Buy Now Pay Later or purchased your system up front, the $200 will be paid directly into your bank account. Please ensure that you have both set up your bank account on our system by following the set up instructions.
If you purchased your system outright or on a Brighte BNPL plan, in order for us to pay your referral incentive, both you and your friend need to have your bank account details set up in the ShineHub portal. Unfortunately we cannot fulfil the $200 referral bonus without these details.

What is the Charles Sturt Solar Bulk Buy?^
The goal for the Solar Bulk Buy Program is simple – give homeowners access to affordable solar and battery solutions that saves residents money and creates energy resiliency in our community.
By participating, you’ll also be helping the City of Charles Sturt deliver against the long term vision to establish a local renewable energy network that powers our community sustainably into the future.
The City of Charles Sturt declared a climate emergency in December 2019
The City of Charles Sturt recognises its role in supporting residents, helping them to save money on their energy bills, while powering our community more sustainably.
By making cost effective renewable energy solutions available we will help the community navigate electricity price increases and cost of living challenges, while at the same time delivering against our net zero objectives.
The 2024 Solar Bulk Buy was a key step to start driving this transformation, offering more people than ever before the opportunity to adopt affordable solar power solutions for their energy needs.
We are proud that more than 180 residents decided to get a solar system installed during our 2024 program. It is a testament to residents’ commitment to building a more sustainable future for all of Charles Sturt.
Bulk Buy Packages include
Solar Panels
Harness the sun's energy during the day, reducing your daytime electricity costs to power your home. Plus earn your electricity retailer solar feed-in-tariff to save even more.
Solar Batteries
Store extra daytime power generated by your solar panels so you can use it at night, saving you up to 90% on your power bills.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP)
Connect to our local VPP and help keep the grid stable for everyone in the community. Everytime energy from your battery is discharged, our VPP pays you a premium payment of $0.55/kWh. It’s a win, win!
Why ShineHub?
ShineHub was selected as the City of Charles Sturt exclusive Solar Bulk Buy program provider in 2024 through a comprehensive and in-depth evaluation and selection process.
No stone was left unturned with due diligence carried out on behalf of our residents to provide reassurance and confidence that their solar project will be in the best of hands. This process included expert legal advice, assessment of ShineHub’s finances, company structure and track record.

Why now?
There’s never been a better time to consider solar with a battery for your home energy needs. With great savings on solar and battery combo packages, battery only retrofit packages, and solar panel only packages 2025 is a great time to consider solar.
Plus, increase your savings with the SA Government VPP (REPS) incentive, take advantage of 2025 STCs to save on your solar panels, and counteract reducing solar feed-in-tariffs by getting a battery and using more of your own energy by storing it for nighttime use rather than selling it back to your retailer for pennies.
