For Nathalie, our first rental customer, the flexibility of this offering has been transformative. Living in Frankston, she initially explored paying upfront for solar panels and got in touch with us through SolarQuotes. However, after discussing her options with our dedicated sales consultant, Pat, she discovered that ZECO’s rental system was the ideal solution.

Thanks to this option, Nathalie was able to install solar panels - an investment she’s now paying back over a seven-year period – and buy a premium heat pump outright. Remarkably, in most months of the year, the savings are greater than her rental cost. This means Nathalie is saving money from the outset while moving closer to her goal of a self-sustaining property.

“We had the money for one but not the other,” Nathalie told us. “Pat told us about the rental system ZECO was offering, and it gave us an option to be able to do both at the same time.”

For Nathalie, the journey doesn’t stop here. “We would love to be as self-sustaining as we can,” she says. “Living in units, we weren’t sure if that would be possible, but Pat helped us realize it was. Getting a battery down the track is now an opportunity.”

Pat’s problem-solving expertise and personalised approach left a lasting impression. “Pat was great… he really nerds out on problem-solving, which I appreciated,” Nathalie ads. “He gave us the options and benefits and left the ball in our court. It really sounded like he was listening to our goals and what would be the best option to suit us.”
