CREDENTIALS
Living Energy has been operating in the Solar PV market for the past 8
years in retail built on the foundation of Director David’s 15- year track
record of successfully installing quality electrical and renewable energy
solutions.
Living Energy is a family business owned by brothers Ben and David
Lovell and is currently finalising the next phase of the agreement to
continue to act as Commercial Solar Delivery Partner for Enerven.
Previously this agreement was with SA Power Networks and was novated
to Enerven (their unregulated subsidiary) in December 2017 in line with
ring-fencing rules. We have worked with many large clients (SA Power
Networks, Enerven, AGL, Origin, Pike Constructions, CMV Group, Rural
City Council Murray Bridge, Bidvest (Bidfood) and others like Caltex and
Nissan Dealerships) and hence have excellent safety and quality
procedures given the due diligence checks we have progressed through.
In addition we are currently performing DC Electrical installation after co-
detailed DC design of 4.1MW of SA Water Ground Mount solar projects
under project profit share with Enerven as Commercial Solar Delivery
Partner.
We were excited to have been chosen to install the SA Power Networks
VPP in Salisbury SA in 2017 as well as our project prosumer cluster
project (3MW Solar & 1.8MW Energy Storage in a Residential
Development) with Axiom Pty Ltd planned for construction beginning
Q2 2019. We are Tesla Powerwall accredited and in the process of
getting accredited for Powerpack installations ready for our installation
of a 200kW Tesla Powerpack at Visy Board Pty Ltd (Gepps Cross).
Renewable Energy Projects with Living Energy as the delivery partner
will benefit from:
• Robust internal policies and procedures including Quality
Assurance Manual and Standard Operating and Installation
procedures
• Ability to handle a high volume of installations and large
installations like the 1.92MW currently underway at Visy Board
(Gepps Cross) whilst maintaining a strong customer service focus
• We are continuing to develop flexible IT and CRM systems that
enable prompt and seamless communication between our
customers and other stakeholders
• Strong track record with over 5000 installations and baseline
capacity to complete and commission 120kW of Solar PV Systems
per week in SA alone. This is easily expanded if required.
– Commercial: We have 3 install teams, each with a team
leader and can manage 3 commercial installations
simultaneously with ability on large commercial to install
120kW per week with ease. In addition, we have a great
This is of particular relevance with projects getting larger and larger as
we are able to use each other as a resource to manage fluctuating
requirements of peak install capacity. For example, in 2018, there has
been a 250kW installation and a 300kW installation occurring at the
same time as 1 – 3 residential installations happening per day, all
managed by Niki and Tina in the office who do an excellent job.
– Residential: In times of peak demand we have operated six teams
completing up to six installations per day and more recently have
been doing 3 installations a day in residential at the same time as
running large commercial installs.
• Customer focused organisational culture and effective
customer service protocols and values
• Technical experience and expertise in conducting commercial and
residential installations including PV and energy storage
• Our in-house solar PV and electrical expertise and access to our
in-house installation teams
• Learnings from current orders in our delivery pipeline of:
– over 3MW of Solar PV and 1.8MW of Solar Battery Systems
(Lead proponent to residential developers for ‘Glenlea’ in
the Adelaide Hills)
– 1.5MW Ground Mount Solar PV installation at SA Water Hope
Valley Waste Water Treatment Plant (sub contract to Enerven.)
– 500kW Solar PV Ground Mount + Generator in Q4 2018
(Lead proponent. Awaiting network approval)
• Licensing
– Electrical Contractors License - PGE – 211092
– Clean Energy Council Accreditation Number – A9068913
– Building Work Contractors License – BLD233571
• Insurance
– $20 Million in Public Liability
– $10 Million in Professional Indemnity – (this will be
particularly relevant in the battery storage space!)
We provide the unique combination of an engineering arm with an
installation arm that has the flexibility and agility of a family business as
well as the systems and processes of a large organisation.
working relationship with 4 other quality electrical
contracting businesses specialising in commercial solar and
3 additional ones specialising in residential.

“Living Energy was engaged by Energy Aware to install the 1.92MW
Solar PV System and 200kW/360kWh Tesla Powerpack at Visy
Recycling in Gepps Cross SA. We initially chose Living Energy for
the installation due to their reputation and experience with SA
Power Networks and other large organisation in the
commercial/small utility solar space. It is now evident as to the
reason why Ben and David have maintained the clients that they
have over the years. They look after their clients and are incredibly
professional and capable. We have had feedback from the
maintenance manager at Visy who in short communicated that he
has managed many contractors over 12 years, and believes that
Living Energy are the best contractor has worked with during this
time. They have been highly considerate whilst on site to our
operations and stringent safety rules. The progress on the project is
on track and we are very impressed with the workmanship &
communication.
The progress of the project and confidence we have in Living
Energy is strong and we are already on boarding them for other
projects we have in SA. I would not hesitate to recommend
Living Energy for any Solar/Storage projects.”

“South Central Trucks recently invested in a new $30m dealership
located on Grand Junction Road at Wingfield. The dealership opened
in late 2015. SCT spent a large amount of time researching ways to
keep fixed overheads down. When your building for the future you
need to look outside the square. After much research on solar
panels, inverters, and a track record in respect to reviews of
suppliers we decided on the services of Living Energy. They did have
competition, but I was impressed from the outset with Ben Lovell
and the Living Energy team in their approach, products and
experience. But when challenged, Ben stuck with proven inverters
and solar panels rather than a cheaper option. Our initial calculation
was a 9 year pay back on a 100kW system, currently Living energy
will exceed their proposed payback time by as much as 24%, in part
due to 7% higher than quoted generation, as well as rising electricity
rates. The Living energy team also had a reputation in the
marketplace as designers and installers. I am pleased to say they
met every expectation, the installers were very professional, the
products are performing flawlessly and efficiently, and follow-up
from Living Energy has been superb. Thank you to Ben and the
team.”
