What is the Mitcham Solar Bulk Buy?^
Join the 1000’s of households across Adelaide leading the solar revolution
To date, nearly 1000 Mitcham residents have successfully transitioned to powering more of their lives with energy from the sun by accessing affordable solar panels, batteries and VPP solutions through our previous solar bulk buy events.
The next bulk buy is coming in February 2025, once again giving residents the chance to take advantage of exclusive solar bulk buy discounts on solar, battery and VPP solutions. Don’t miss out – this is the only solar bulk buy planned for 2025!

Packages include
Solar Panels
Solar panels generate power when the sun is shining, saving you money during the day.
Solar Batteries
Solar batteries store your extra daytime solar power so you can use it at night, saving up to 90% on your power bills.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP)
Connecting your battery to the VPP pays you a premium rate for excess battery power that helps keep the grid stable.
Why ShineHub?
ShineHub is one of the top retailers and installers of solar battery solutions in SA. They were selected as the exclusive program provider through a rigorous tender process including getting expert advice through an external panel of independent experts. This process considered due diligence information, legal advice and a detailed assessment of ShineHub’s finances and company structure.

Mitcham is Leading the Charge
Join a 1000 households leading the solar revolution
Facing energy challenges, Mitcham partnered with ShineHub to launch the Community Renewables Program, to help replace big energy with local, solar-powered solutions.
To date just shy of 1000 City of Mitcham residents have adopted a solar solution through our award winning initiative run by the City of Mitcham in partnership with ShineHub, the exclusive bulk buy provider.
Together we’re paving the way to a solar-powered city
The success of Mitcham’s Community Renewables Program is making waves far beyond our council’s borders. Having won state and national awards, the City of Mitcham has emerged as a leader, inspiring and supporting other Councils to follow suit. Thanks to the Mitcham’s efforts four other South Australian councils have launched similar programs, empowering even more residents to embrace solar energy, reduce emissions and reduce their energy bills.
Check out our new film, which showcases how the Council in partnership with the community is driving positive change and shaping a sustainable renewable energy future for all of Mitcham.

Get $200 for every friend you refer
Once the Bulk Buy launches, you’ll be able to refer a friend, family member or neighbour who lives in the City of Mitcham 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.
Get $200 for every friend you refer^
Refer a friend, family member or neighbour who lives in the City of Mitcham 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. If you have already purchased a system as part of one of our previous bulk buys you can refer straight away.
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 are already a customer, or in the process of signing off on your new solar system as part of our 2025 bulk buy, if your referral goes ahead and purchases 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.
