Social Obligations
Our heart for supporting disadvantaged people
We have spent over a decade living and working in a Sub-Saharan African country.
Here, we witnessed first-hand the daily struggles and challenges most in the two-thirds world face.
This experience has shaped our perspective and undergirds our determination to fulfil our social obligations to make a difference.
ACT Smart Electrical & Solar is dedicated to sharing our profits with those who are in desperate need and deserve a fair chance at a better life.
We firmly believe that wealth that does not benefit others reflects a personal poverty of spirit.
As a family-owned and operated business, we have given $155,000 (since our establishment in 2012) to various not-for-profit organisations. Such support is not merely throwing money to the wind; it is a deliberate and strategic approach to assisting partners in making a tangible difference locally and globally.
We seek to provide life-changing opportunities and capacity-building initiatives for individuals and communities living in acute poverty or facing disadvantages.
Our Commitment
At our core, we hold an unwavering commitment to fulfilling our social obligations and positively impacting the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.
We firmly believe that the purpose of life extends far beyond the relentless pursuit and accumulation of material possessions. Instead, we embrace a posture and practice of living more simply so that others may simply live.
This guiding principle has resonated deeply with us throughout our lives.
Sharing our wealth with those in need is not just an act of generosity; it is an antidote to apathy.
We achieve this by regularly providing financial support to trusted development organisations such as:
TEAR Australia
Compassion
Symbiosis International
Mercy Ships
Destiny Rescue
Miriam Rose Foundation
These partnerships enable us to contribute positively to the transformative work being done in the lives of those in need.
Organisations we support
The words of Nelson Mandela resonate deeply with us:
"Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.
While poverty persists, there is no true freedom."
- Nelson Mandela
Mandela's example inspires us, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
Your patronage is crucial in enabling us to extend our support to these worthy causes.
Acting with justice is a fundamental value that permeates every aspect of our lives and business practices. We firmly believe that the persistent existence of poverty among individuals and communities is simply not acceptable. We are fair dinkum about giving some of the world’s most vulnerable a fair go.
Thank you for supporting our business, which allows us to extend our reach and make a meaningful difference in the world. Together, we can create a more just and equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
What People say...
Honest and efficient
“One of the few honest electricians left! Scott did an anti-Islanding test at the right price,
well below what others are gouging other households.
If you need an honest and efficient electrician, go with this company."
Juan
Responsive, on time, and top value
“Excellent service, Scott is professional, polite, responsive and on time.
I called him on Friday and he did my PV anti-Islanding test on Monday.
Was less than half the price of some other companies $135.00 and submitted the test to evo energy. Was all done in ten minutes.
Highly recommended, I'll use him for other electrical work in the future. After a couple of years of bills we thought we would be saving more, something didn't seem right. We got Scott in and he identified a faulty inverter.
When the next bill came in we surprised how much we had lost in solar production. Thanks Scott for diagnosing the problem
Top Shelf
Top quality work, commercial or domestic
“Highly recommend ACT Smart Electrical and Solar. We’ve engaged them on two jobs - one quite large (a solar install on a commercial building) and another small job at the house.
On both occasions Scott has done a great job and been great to deal with.
Thank you. I’ve already recommended you to others."
Ian
Stellar Customer Service
"Scott was amazing, he answered all my questions and queries, he is incredibly knowledgeable, he was helpful, polite and professional.
He followed through with links and information requested.
Thank you so much Scott. Highly Recommend!!"
Georgia
Large Solar array done to perfection
“Scott installed a large Solar array at the completion of the construction of our new house build.
We engaged Scott early in the process where he pre-installed the key wiring and switchboards. During early construction we found the building code had changed on battery installations so Scott adapted the battery installation to a new location, which in the end worked out better.
Scott’s work is high-quality, he uses good quality equipment that is trouble free. Our Solar system has now been running for just under 2 years, is working effectively saving us money.
Thanks Scott for the great installation." old Canberra House had a series of old electrical switches and outlets. The house was built in the early 50s and they gone past their useful life.
Chris
Professional Solar Installation with great design
“If you want a professional solar installation with great design, that meets your needs, on-time installation with excellent high quality products and workmanship, then choose Scott at ACT Smart Electrical and Solar.
A great electrician that knows solar."
Ross
Good value, straight shooter
“Scott is a good value straight shooter. His price was best, and he was friendly, quick and efficient.
I now have his business card permanently on my fridge.
As long as he stays in the trade, he will be my “go to” electrical guy!"
Jonathan
Honest and hard working tradie
"I have been using Scott for many years for my solar and electrical work. Scott provided invaluable help sorting out some problems with the installation of my solar system (not installed by Scott but by a dubious company that went bankrupt).
He went over and above sorting out warranty issues with the equipment that he didn't install. He has since been my go to electrician for all my electrical work.
He does sometimes get busy but goes out of his way to respond in a timely fashion if I have an urgent problem.
Scott is an honest hard working tradie and I find it really valuable to know I can trust him to do a good job for a fair price."
Fiona
Service that exceeds expectations

An outstanding tradesman who we recommend without exception."
