About the business
Upstream Energy is an independent power producer and one of Australia's longest-serving providers of solar power purchase agreements.
We own and manage over 400 private power stations around the country and are growing rapidly. Upstream designs, funds and commissions clean energy systems - solar, batteries, EVs etc - so people can access new renewable technologies at nil capital cost.
Upstream is developing and delivering some of the most innovative models for transforming Australia to zero carbon.
With the new federal battery rebate, we are pushing into residential sales.

You are charismatic and approachable, friendly and confident.
