Raystech Strengthens Partnership with Smart Energy Council Through 2027 Executive Membership

Raystech Group has formalised its continued commitment to Australia’s renewable energy industry by signing its 2027 Executive Membership agreement with the Smart Energy Council (SEC), reinforcing a shared vision for advancing clean energy innovation, industry collaboration and sustainable growth.

The agreement marks another milestone in the ongoing relationship between Raystech and the Smart Energy Council, reflecting Raystech’s expanding role in Australia’s renewable energy landscape and its long-term commitment to supporting the nation’s energy transition.

Strengthening Industry Collaboration

As one of Australia’s leading renewable energy industry bodies, the Smart Energy Council plays an important role in industry advocacy, policy engagement, knowledge sharing and connecting businesses across the clean energy sector.

Through its continued Executive Membership in 2027, Raystech looks forward to strengthening its engagement with the Council and contributing to industry discussions, collaborative initiatives and opportunities that support the development of Australia’s renewable energy market.

The relationship reflects a shared commitment to accelerating the adoption of renewable energy technologies and supporting a more resilient and sustainable energy future.

Supporting Raystech’s Continued Growth

Over the years, Raystech has continued to expand its presence across Australia and New Zealand, building strong relationships with leading global manufacturers, installers, commercial customers and industry partners.

With its established renewable energy distribution network and growing technical capabilities, Raystech continues to evolve beyond traditional solar product supply.

The establishment of Raystech Solutions represents an important step in this development, extending the Group’s capabilities into commercial and industrial (C&I) and utility-scale renewable energy projects.

Through integrated solutions covering solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), system integration and ongoing technical support, Raystech aims to deliver greater value across the renewable energy project lifecycle.

This continued growth aligns with the Smart Energy Council’s vision of supporting innovation, investment and collaboration throughout Australia’s clean energy industry.

Looking Ahead to 2027

The signing of the 2027 Executive Membership agreement reflects Raystech’s confidence in the future of Australia’s renewable energy sector and its commitment to playing an active role in the industry’s continued development.

Moving forward, Raystech looks forward to working closely with the Smart Energy Council, strengthening industry partnerships, supporting emerging opportunities and contributing to the growth of renewable energy solutions across Australia.

As the industry enters its next phase of development, Raystech remains focused on connecting global technology with local expertise, delivering reliable energy solutions and supporting projects of every scale.

Together, Raystech and the Smart Energy Council look forward to building a stronger, more connected and sustainable renewable energy future.
