How it works

Three steps. You only pay if a unit lands on your site.

  1. Send the spec

    kVA, voltages, location or DNSP, and when you need it on site. One short form.

  2. We check live stock

    Surplus and refurbished units listed with Australian dealers first, offshore lots only if the voltage fits.

  3. You get real listings

    Matching units with specs and where they sit. You decide. Brokerage of 5–8% applies only if we place one.

Who it’s for

Built for the people who get stuck waiting on the transformer.

  • C&I solar and BESS EPCs with a connection date and no unit.

  • EV-charging and depot contractors sizing 1 MVA-class sites.

  • ASP Level 3 designers whose clients face long lead times on new units.

  • Electrical contractors with a site upgrade on the critical path.

What we check before we send you anything

  • Rating and voltages match what you sent, plus vector group if you gave one.

  • Nameplate, condition and test records the seller can provide.

  • Where it sits, so you can weigh freight against waiting for new.

  • DNSP acceptance flagged, not assumed. Your ASP or DNSP makes that call.

Not for homeowners or residential solar. Trade and project enquiries only.

Questions

Straight answers

Do you hold the stock?

No. We match you to units already listed by dealers and surplus sellers. The seller supplies the unit, its documentation and any warranty; we tell you what’s on offer before you commit.

Will my DNSP accept a surplus or refurbished unit?

It depends on the network and the unit. We flag what we know about each listing, but acceptance is a call for your ASP designer and the DNSP. We never assume it.

What if a new unit is faster?

Then we’ll tell you. The point is getting gear on site sooner, not selling you used gear for its own sake.

What sizes and voltages?

Mostly 500 kVA to 3 MVA, 11 kV to 415/433 V class, plus matching switchgear and RMUs. Outside that band, send it anyway and we’ll say if we can help.

Outside the NEM?

We start with the NEM states. For WA, NT or offshore projects, send the spec and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can source it.
