David Pethick Exposes What’s Broken in Aussie Solar — And How Omnidian Plans to Fix It

The Australian solar boom has left many homeowners with panels on their roofs—but what happens after installation is often a mystery. David Pethick, President of Omnidian Australia, joins the podcast to uncover the hidden reality of post-installation solar service. With a background at AGL and now leading Omnidian’s expansion—boosted by their acquisition of Solar Service Guys—David shares how the company is transforming solar maintenance into a streamlined, tech-driven experience.

This episode explores:

• Why most system owners stop monitoring their solar and batteries just weeks after installation—and how that creates long-term value loss
• How Omnidian’s AI-powered platform, Resolve, builds a digital twin of each system to predict, detect, and diagnose faults before customers notice
• What solar retailers gain by outsourcing after-sales service—and how it helps them scale while maintaining a five-star reputation
• How Omnidian helps battery and inverter manufacturers launch in Australia without expensive onshore tech teams
• The importance of values alignment in a solar industry flooded with short-term players, and how Omnidian chooses partners who build for longevity

With Australia’s $2.3 billion battery rebate creating new complexity for retailers and manufacturers alike, Omnidian is setting a new standard for scalable, affordable, and customer-first service. Whether you're a solar retailer trying to stay focused on sales or a manufacturer entering a competitive market, this episode is your blueprint for navigating the future of solar and battery performance in Australia.
