Genuinely Local
Central Spark Victoria is a genuine ‘bricks and mortar’ renewable energy technology and installation business, based in Castlemaine, Victoria. Effectively servicing Bendigo to Creswick, Gisborne to Maldon, Maryborough to Lancefield.
We employ our own:
- Registered electricians

- Apprentices, who we are proud to train
We gladly give support, in time and money, to:
- Main FM
- Mt Alexander Falcons
- Castlemaine Football and Netball Club

How We Work
Upon commencement of their employment, all our employees complete the following courses:
- Working Safely in the Solar Industry
- Working Safely at Heights
Safety equipment such as roof rails, scaffolding, harnesses and protective clothing are a key aspect of keeping our team and customers safe.
Working with local business
We actively purchase from local business, if the business exists. This might mean, for example, choosing a local printer (rather than a nationwide, online service) or shopping at the local hardware store.
Ethics in business
Unashamedly, we strive to be ethical in our business practices, because we believe that a business should earn its social license to operate.
– recycling everything possible, into glass, cans, plastics, metals.
– full logbook servicing an all company vehicles
– comprehensive staff wellbeing policy
– pricing policy, structured to keep us in business well beyond our installation warranty period
– sufficient administration support to handle regulatory paperwork and back end support
– A First Nations policy
– commitment to using genuinely well established solar distribution networks
– and an all-round, decent employer approach. For example, during the Covid-19 crisis, we kept on all our staff and provided additional training rather than laying off staff.
