More than a solar company

At UV Power, we're not just chasing the sun – we're harnessing its power to amp up over 4000 homes and vehicles across South East Queensland since 2009.

Our EVs have been soaking up 95% of their energy straight from rooftop solar panels for the past 7 years.

We believe that our houses and cars can be powered by rooftop solar reducing our reliance on the grid and the burning of coal. Our aim is for zero emission homes and transport.

The Porsche 356 was commissioned by us. We've merged the timeless vibes of the 1950s with the latest electric vehicle tech because who says saving the planet can't come with a dash of style?
