Easy Warm’s journey
“Easy Warm’s main aim is to build independence and resilience when it comes to power.”
Easy Warm founded ten years ago by three friends with skills in electrical technology, power systems and finance.
It was created to commercialise our PV (photovoltaic) solar hot water innovation. Being in the industry herself, Barbara Elliston (CEO of EasyWarm Ltd) has watched the energy sector over decades consistently not respond to customers' concerns or needs. We as consumers are completely reliant on the grid and on the companies that operate it for our power needs. Easy Warm stands behind the idea that with solar PV, we have the opportunity to take our destiny into our own hands and become more self-reliant.
In Australia and New Zealand, hot water is one of the biggest loads in domestic households. This is where the idea of our solar hot water innovation came to life.
The HotPV™ solar hot water system is our solution to reduce households’ reliance on grid power. Not only does it remove one of the biggest components on a power bill, it also allows resilience for when the grid may occasionally have an outage. There’s also the added benefit of giving you certainty, no matter what happens to future power prices.
Easy Warm’s main aim is to build independence and resilience when it comes to power. The founders believe the HotPV™ system is the best way to achieve this right now.
In the future, batteries with address the other components of a household’s power bill, but for now the battery market is not quite optimal. But we are definitely excited to see what is possible in the next few years with batteries!
