GoodWe Australia proudly hosted its first GoodWe Awards on 23 October 2024. This event took place at the All-Energy Australia exhibition and celebrated achievements in clean energy. Partners, retailers, and distributors were recognised for their efforts to raise solar standards across Australia. The GoodWe Awards spotlighted industry leaders, highlighting dedication to solar. A special moment of the evening was the GoodWill Award, which honours contributions to charity, sustainability, and community support.
Honouring outstanding contributors to clean energy
Eight award winners and multiple nominees were honoured for excellence and commitment to clean energy. Solahart Industries Pty Ltd won the Top Energy Storage Retailer of the Year. OSW (One Stop Warehouse) was awarded Distributor of the Year. Solar Panel Options received the Top C&I Retailer of the Year. Alspec Solar won the BIPV Dealership of the Year for GoodWe’s PV Building Materials range.
Other notable awards included the Individual Outstanding Commitment award to Ian Gittus from UV Power. Solar Naturally received Top Residential Retailer, and Resinc Solar won the Retailer Outstanding Commitment award.
The evening’s highlight was the GoodWill Award presented to Six Star Plus by Roshan Ramnarain from Energy Matters. Six Star Plus was honoured for its community support, including efforts in forest regeneration, community kitchens, and the Victorian Homeless Fund. Their fundraising of nearly $20,000 for Myeloma Australia, a charity for bone marrow cancer, was also celebrated. Additional nominees, such as Original Power, Bushgrid, AWM Echuca, Matthias Huchel from AGL, and SolEnergy Group, received gift cards for inspiring contributions.
A memorable networking evening
Guests enjoyed networking with industry leaders, including representatives from the Smart Energy Council, AWISE (Australian Women in Solar Energy), and Energy Matters.
Dean Williamson, Country Manager for GoodWe Australia, said:
“The reason we wanted to organise this awards event is to recognise the remarkable efforts we have witnessed this year in advancing clean energy and supporting communities. To highlight those who go above and beyond, not only in solar innovation but also in making a meaningful impact across Australia. It was a privilege to celebrate such dedication and passion with our partners, and we look forward to our 2025 awards event next year.”
The All-Energy Australia 2024 exhibition took place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on 23-24 October, with the GoodWe booth, NN131, centrally located.
