Hardware giant Bunnings and digital energy management specialist Intellihub are taking on the rooftop solar and home battery market, launching a new offer to Australians looking to electrify their homes.

Zelora is available as part of a trial across Newcastle and greater Sydney in New South Wales. The subscription will streamline how customers can access and pay for a range of battery and solar systems, alleviating big upfront costs and enabling savings on electricity bills.
Bunnings chief operating officer Ryan Baker said, “Our new Zelora offer, developed in partnership with Intellihub, gives customers access to a broader range of battery and solar packages—including larger rooftop systems and home batteries—all available through a simple subscription model and supported by an app.
“Many customers find home electrification complex and may not be aware of the benefits it can offer. Zelora has been developed to simplify the home battery and solar opportunity for customers in a cost-effective way.”

The launch of Zelora builds on Bunnings recently launched electric vehicle (EV) charging range available instore and online. The business is also trialling EV charging stations at selected store carparks in Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia and New Zealand.
