Think Renewable Is Saving Shire Residents Thousands On Their Bills
Here’s how…
Think Renewable
We all know the dread felt when faced with an impending electricity bill. With the cost of living soaring, even those who grew up being told to turn all the lights off and never use the AC are feeling the pinch. But what if we told you that you could save between 50% and 80% on your next bill?
Think Renewable is making the seemingly impossible possible by connecting Shire homes with solar energy and batteries. The business grew out of founder and local Daniel Tonkin’s need to combat the extreme rising costs he and his family were seeing, without the elaborate fine print.
“We found that everything on the market was very overcomplicated and hard to understand,” says Daniel, “We were looking to simplify sustainability.”
While the use of solar might not feel like breaking news, solar battery, which is often left out of the equation, is where residents are really seeing the biggest impact. As a quick explainer - although solar alone can significantly reduce the amount you pay for electricity during the day, as soon as the sun sets, you lose that benefit. That is where the battery can kick in, storing up all that collected solar energy to be used at night, seriously reducing the sting come bill time.
If you’re on the proverbial fence and have been waiting for a sign: this is it.
The government battery rebate currently offers a $330 per kWh discount for homeowners installing batteries up to 48 kWh. From 1st May 2026, this rebate will be reduced, particularly for larger batteries. If you’re looking to lock in the best deal, now is the ideal time to get things moving.
“Our team is able to explain and talk people through the solutions,” says Daniel. “We make sure that we’re on the journey with them from start to finish.”
As a Shire-founded business, the team behind Think Renewable pride themselves on their ability to provide local support. No call centres, no being put on hold for 30 minutes at a time, just real people who actually come to you. It’s an end-to-end solution servicing everything from solar panels to batteries and even EV chargers. And with over 500 customers Shire-wide (and counting), it’s safe to say that these guys are the ones to trust.
“From design to installation, you’ll have a single point of contact and work with internal, fully accredited, local installers.”
Before you ask yourself if it’s all too good to be true, let us reassure you - it isn’t. Think Renewable customer Sheila from Engadine saw her energy bill shrink from $600 to just $95.07 after installing panels and a battery. That’s extra dinners out, weekends away, or more savings in the bank - you really can’t argue with the numbers.
“Keep the money in yours and your family’s back pockets, not the electric company’s,” urges Daniel.
We couldn’t have put it better ourselves!
