About SolarQuip

SolarQuip is the independent solar and battery engineering practice of Glen Morris — design, training, expert evidence and product testing, backed by more than 35 years in renewable energy.

Glen has spent more than 35 years designing and building renewable energy systems — from large off-grid rural homesteads and island microgrids to infrastructure-scale storage and resilience.

He has lived off-grid for 36 years, which makes the work first-hand rather than theoretical.

For more than a decade Glen has helped shape Australia's renewable energy standards as a member of the Standards Australia committees for solar and battery systems, and he served six years as Vice President of the Smart Energy Council. That standards grounding underpins SolarQuip's training, consultancy and expert-witness work.

He is the founder of SolarPlus, Australia's solar design software, and has trained a generation of designers and installers in solar and battery system design.

SolarQuip is based at Mount Toolebewong in the Dandenong Ranges, on a working off-grid microgrid that powers seven homes, ten EV charging stations and a twenty-bed community building, alongside teaching facilities and a solar testing site. It's both home and laboratory — where SolarQuip's testing and design methods are proven before they reach a client.

SolarQuip is the practice behind two sister operations: Smart Energy Lab, its technical-video arm reaching a 213K+ industry audience, and Solar Training Australia, its course shop.
