Get $200 for every friend you refer^

Refer a friend, family member or neighbour who live in the City of Mount Gambier 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 City of Mount Gambier Community Renewables Program?^

With power costs on the rise, the City of Mount Gambier’s Community Renewables Program makes it easier for residents and small businesses to access affordable solar and battery solutions—helping cut bills and build energy resilience.

The program supports Council’s goal of a climate-resilient future by creating a local renewable energy network, enabling a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), and delivering long-term financial, environmental, and community benefits.

More batteries in Mount Gambier and the rollout of a VPP will help stabilise the grid and better protect locals from blackouts and extreme weather events.
