Capability Statement for Trill Group
To put it simply, we are leading the charge to a renewable future. We are a company of today for the people of tomorrow, helping businesses maximise their solar investment while championing sustainability.
We specialise in a unique turnkey approach to renewable solar in the commercial and industrial sectors, operating over the entire east coast of Australia.
Over the years, we have seen major changes within this industry, both good and bad. One thing remains clear: the only way forward is to have tried-and-true processes in place that are consistent no matter the client, project or location.
This is exactly why we adopted a turnkey approach. We asked ourselves: how can we consistently be there for our customers? The answer was to rethink the traditional model — one that often involves multiple subcontractors handling different scopes, hoping it all aligns. While it might seem like a way to reduce risk, it often does the opposite, adding complexity and inconsistency. But to truly deliver optimal outcomes, we’ve refined the process. From design and installation to maintenance service, our clients can rely on Trill Group as their sole point of contact, delivering excellent service at all times.
Our core principles set our work apart: turnkey solution, installation and delivery first mindset, and long-term care and relationships. We’re not the kind of company that’s here today and gone tomorrow. Our priority is to make sure our clients feel supported every step of the project.
Grounded in client-focused service and sustainability, that’s who we are.
With a commitment to excel at everything we do, Trill Group takes pride in having dependable professionals and industry-leading technologies to provide the best quality service. Our team members are not just employees but passionate individuals who go above and beyond to ensure that each project receives the attention it deserves. We firmly believe that no two projects are alike, and as such, we approach each one with a personalised strategy, crafting tailor-made solutions that perfectly align with our clients’ specific requirements.
Our experienced team, consisting of highly skilled professionals, possesses an extensive knowledge base that enables us to tackle even the most complex project challenges with ease.
We combine this expertise with a relentless commitment to quality workmanship, ensuring that every task we undertake is executed to perfection. Our clients can rest assured that their projects will be completed not only on time but also within budget, as we understand the importance of fiscal responsibility.

Brad Leech
Service Manager
Brad Leech, Service Manager
Brad is no doubt a valuable asset to Trill Group, bringing both technical expertise and dedication to work. He has years of experience as an SAA-accredited solar installer, designer, and qualified electrician who takes customer care and satisfaction seriously. He stumbled into solar work in 2017 and immediately realised how rewarding it is, especially when clients recognise the effort they put into every solar project. One thing you may not know - he’s not only skilled at solar installation but also behind the wheel. Just ask him—he’s probably the best driver of the team!
Big or small project, our top-class solar experts always know how to do it with expertise and efficiency.
It’s our goal and commitment to deliver solar projects that both our customers and team are proud of, and we do it with minimal fuss and cost. Trill Group’s yearly maintenance agreements guarantee system performance over its full 20-year expected lifespan. If you take up this agreement, we back ourselves with a performance guarantee: your system will operate as expected day in, day out, or your O&M cost for that year will be refunded. We’re committed to the long-term reliability of the system, ensuring both you and the environment get the value you deserve.
We’re not like every other renewable energy company in Australia.
We do things differently.
We have learnt from other companies’ mistakes, and we want to see the industry elevate with the proper and best practices deployed all the time. For us, this isn’t just a transaction, it’s a mission.
Nothing brings us more joy than seeing our clients achieve energy independence, offset electricity consumption, while also reducing their carbon footprint. We take this mission and our clients’ satisfaction seriously, hence every phase of the project is managed by electric industry experts and trained professionals who care about quality and the environment.
“Luke and the team at Trill Group care about their customers, the quality of the services they provide and the environment. When decommissioning systems, they offer their customers the option to recycle the solar panels rather than take them to landfill. I would highly recommend as they are a pleasure to work with!”
“As this project was completed in a live environment, I'd like to commend Trill Group for the zero injuries, zero near misses, and zero lost time on the project as this is an achievement given the type of work they do. Given that Amazon BWU2 is our largest AU fulfillment center and the largest industrial asset in the southern hemisphere, there were hesitations in starting the project at the time of the year, though the confidence Trill Group gave us in the early weeks had us confident we had the right installer onboard.
We also note that we would be happy to have Trill Group tender on any of our projects in the future!”
“We specialize in business optimization, and we have worked with Trill Group with a variety of our clients over the past couple of years to improve their bottom line by implementing $0 cost Solar systems through PPA models on their properties. They have a true turnkey approach to C&I solar which allows us to confidently recommend them time and time again. I strongly suggest if you haven’t already spoken to Luke and the team, they won’t let you down!”
“Trill Group made installing solar stress free, with Luke’s high quality of service dealing with any questions/issues that arose before/during and after the installation, enabled me to have full confidence in the installation. From the moment I first made contact, Luke came out for a site visit to discuss how best to approach the install to minimise the impact on our business. This level of understanding of our business allowed an installation schedule to be established that worked for both parties, whilst having a minimum impact on our day to day operation. Luke and the team went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the installation and this shows in the quality of the finished product."
“A few years ago, we had a solar system installed at our school and it stopped working a year ago. The original company that sold us the system no longer wanted to be involved and abandoned its responsibility of warranting the system. After struggling for months to find a company that specialises in Commercial solar installations and the service of those systems, we were recommended to speak to Trill Group. They provided us with a great level of service and got our system operational again.”
“Trill group installed a 100KW system on our head office, they did a fantastic job in installing the system and have been committed in helping us with any requirements with the system since when needed”
