About Solar Pilot-e

Energy, working as one.

A Melbourne startup building one app and a family of solar + battery packages that bring the rooftop, the battery and the car together.

Our story

Built in Melbourne, for how Australians live

Solar Pilot-e is built by Cherri Holdings, a startup based in Melbourne. Development began in October 2026 with a simple brief: the rooftop, the battery and the car should work as one system - and one app should run it.

The app is live and free to use today. The packages are shaped around how Australians actually use energy: solar on the roof, a battery for the evening, and an EV charger in the driveway.

Everything starts with a conversation, not a checkout. Every enquiry receives a site-specific quote, and the final components are confirmed in writing before anything is installed.

One home. One car. One screen.
