Meet Jesse Raiz, Founder of Gridless

Hi, I’m Jesse Raiz, founder of Gridless.

After years of helping build successful Australian energy businesses, I saw a clear problem: homeowners wanted honest advice, reliable products and installations completed properly the first time—but too many were receiving rushed workmanship, confusing information and recommendations driven primarily by government rebates.

I created Gridless to offer a better way.

Helping Australian Homes Become More Energy Independent

Gridless is a Melbourne-based home energy company specialising in:

• Solar panel systems
• Home battery storage
• Energy-efficient heating and cooling
• Reverse-cycle air conditioning
• Heat pump hot water systems
• Home electrification and energy-efficiency upgrades

Our team brings together more than 50 years of combined industry experience across renewable energy, HVAC and energy-efficient home technology.

Our mission is simple: to help Australian homeowners reduce their energy bills and achieve greater energy independence through dependable, high-quality systems installed with care.

Honest Recommendations, Not Rebate-Driven Sales

Government incentives can make home energy upgrades more affordable, but a rebate should never be the only reason to recommend a product.

At Gridless, every recommendation begins with the needs of the household. We consider the home, existing energy usage, future plans, available incentives and the long-term performance of the proposed system.

Our focus is on delivering:

• The right system for the property
• Genuine long-term energy savings
• Reliable products from established manufacturers
• Professional installation
• Clear and transparent advice
• Ongoing support after installation

We would rather recommend the right solution than sell the biggest or most heavily subsidised system.

A Hands-On Founder

I remain actively involved in Gridless and stand behind the work our team completes.

You may hear from me personally after making an enquiry, during the planning of your project or after your installation. I believe customers deserve to know who is responsible for the business they are trusting with their home.

I also share practical information through the Gridless YouTube channel, covering topics such as solar power, home batteries, heat pump hot water, energy-efficient air conditioning and changes to Australian government rebate programs.

My goal is to make home energy upgrades easier to understand and to put a real, accountable person behind the Gridless name.

Supporting Melbourne Homeowners

Gridless helps homeowners across Melbourne make smarter decisions about solar, battery storage, heating, cooling and hot water.

Where eligible, we assist customers in accessing incentives available through programs such as:

• The Victorian Energy Upgrades program
• Solar Victoria initiatives
• Federal renewable energy incentives
• Other applicable state and federal energy schemes

Eligibility, incentive values and program requirements can change. Our team will explain what may apply to your property and how it affects the overall value of your proposed upgrade.

More Than Government Rebates

Gridless is not simply a rebate company.

Our broader goal is to help Australians use less grid electricity, lower their household running costs and gain greater control over how their homes are powered.

That means looking beyond the initial discount and considering the complete energy performance of the home.

For some households, the right first step may be solar. For others, it could be battery storage, replacing gas heating with efficient reverse-cycle air conditioning, or upgrading an old electric or gas water heater to a heat pump system.

Whatever the solution, our advice is based on what makes sense for the homeowner—not what is easiest for us to sell.
