ABOUT US

The company was launched in 1996 by two Renewable Energy buffs who wanted to provide Geelong and the surrounding Districts with a high quality, technical based service with excellent customer backup.

Radiant Energy Systems is a small two family business dedicated to providing up to date information, design, supply and installation of a wide range of Renewable Energy Products.

Our main focus is with solar off-grid solar power, solar water heating, composting toilets but wind energy systems, solar lighting, wood heaters and BioPaints are an important part of our rapidly expanding business.

We particularly enjoy working with those people wishing to set-up their new/existing home for sustainable living.
