Rimfire Energy - Solar and Electricity

Rimfire Group is a Northern Territory family-owned group of multi-disciplinary companies. Rimfire Energy operates as the Territory's largest independent electricity retailer. The group provides complete solutions in electricity retail, solar, and power generation. Rimfire Solar offers solar and battery storage design and installation services for commercial and residential applications, while Rimfire Projects supplies project structuring advice and project delivery services for commercial and utility-scale applications.

Rimfire Group directly employs accredited installation teams and maintains offices in Darwin, Katherine, and Alice Springs. Its developments include the 10MWac Batchelor Solar Farm in Batchelor NT and the 12.5MW Hudson Creek Power Station in Wishart, NT. Michael Allen is Founder and Managing Director, and Maria Iglesias is Founder and Finance Manager.

Starting from the first site visit and continuing through to system commissioning, feedback about this Darwin solar and electrical company centres on a process that customers found well organised and straightforward. Installation crews are repeatedly praised for efficiency and punctuality, with a larger 17 kW job singled out for the calibre of the team on site and the smoothness of the day itself. Guidance offered during the application stage, particularly around network and utility dealings, comes up often, and staff are noted for answering questions promptly and knowing their subject matter.

Jack, from the solar division, is named for assisting when a fault emerged, while the components chosen and the ongoing support after handover also attract comment. Accounts include energy retailing transfers completed without fuss and a defective inverter that was eventually replaced by its manufacturer. Reviewers regularly draw attention to the difference the systems make to running costs, with one household in credit and another reporting a steep drop in monthly billing. The considerate, knowledgeable service and individual attention given to each job characterise what is described.
