Our History
Solar Energy Australia is an Australian family-owned and operated manufacturer and technical distributor of high-quality power conversion and energy storage products. SEA forms part of the Powerbox Australia group of companies, which are specialists in the design and manufacture of power conversion and UPS equipment.
During the 1990s, SEA successfully developed and released a range of standalone pure-sinewave inverters and inverters/chargers to support the growing off-grid market.
The development of this inverter technology, along with advancements in solar charge controllers allowed those living and working in remote environments to utilise renewable energy and significantly reduce reliance on diesel generators.
One of SEA’s first major projects was for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games where we were engaged by Ausgrid to develop a ‘grid-connected’ inverter to support and promote the greater use of renewable energy during the Games. SEA’s “Novastar” inverter was developed and used in the 407 kWp ‘Singleton Solar Farm’ and 70 kWp ‘Sydney Superdome Array projects, some of the first commercial solar projects in Australia. The inverters proved to be highly reliable and were only de-commissioned from the ‘Superdome’ in 2015.
