One crew, per postcode.

Every SOLO installer is a CEC-accredited employee — not a sub-contractor, not a national franchise, not a roving crew that bid lowest yesterday. Same Jason, same Ben, same Maddy on every Ballarat install. Find yours below.

One employed crew per region. Promise.

We don't grow by adding sub-contractors. We grow by hiring full-time, on-the-books, super-paid installers — one lead, one crew, one geography. The map fills in slowly because hiring takes time. We'd rather be slow than be Origin.
