Huon Hoogesteger, CEO, Smart Commercial Solar

Huon Hoogesteger is a trailblazer in the renewable energy sector with over 15 years of visionary leadership. Originally from a commercial construction background, Huon transitioned to the energy sector in 2007, inspired by his experience of going off-grid in his own Sydney home. Since then, he has played a pivotal role in propelling the uptake of clean energy by Australian businesses across all sectors.  Huon founded Smart Commercial Solar in 2011 after recognising the commercial market as having a crucial role to play in the coming energy transition. Through Smart, he became a driving force behind innovation in the solar industry, renowned for market-leading service and quality projects with some blue-chip brands like Bunnings, KFC and Officeworks.  Driven by a passion for great people and solid values, Huon and his team at Smart have developed sophisticated approaches to energy problems, resulting in award-winning projects and innovative solutions. Huon was an early pioneer of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and has delivered some of Australia’s largest solar power systems through this innovative approach.  Over the years, Huon has been recognised by the industry with awards such as the Finder Green Innovation of the Year Award 2022, Australian Innovation Challenge, Anthill Smart 100, and the Clean Energy Council design award in 2019. He has presented at numerous industry events and been featured in prominent publications like Forbes, the Australian Financial Teams and ABC Landline. Huon is available for speaking engagements and excels at making complex topics relatable with a fresh and future-focused take on energy-related subjects.  Today, Huon continues to passionately advocate for the role of affordable, clean energy in businesses of all sizes. Leading a team of more than 50 people with a shared commitment to helping businesses achieve energy independence, Huon is Australia’s leading voice on commercial renewable energy solutions.
