Omnidian, a leading global provider of performance assurance for renewable energy assets, has announced its acquisition of Brisbane-based Solar Service Guys Pty Ltd (“Solar Service Guys” or “SSG”). This strategic move highlights Omnidian’s deep commitment to Australia’s rapidly expanding renewable energy sector, offering local expertise and best-in-class service to OEMs, residential and commercial solar retailers, and their customers.
The acquisition strengthens Omnidian’s presence in the Australian market—which boasts the highest solar adoption per capita globally—and extends its reach to better serve clients and partners. Through its local subsidiary, Omnidian has been operating in Australia since early 2022, and this expansion will accelerate its mission to support clean energy growth and sustainability.
Solar Service Guys will now operate as a fully integrated subsidiary of Omnidian, combining SSG’s extensive market knowledge and service network with Omnidian’s advanced technology platform. Omnidian’s AI-driven technology, trained on over 380,000 asset years of data, provides unparalleled business insights for renewable energy investors and asset owners, ensuring optimal system performance and efficiency.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Solar Service Guys team into our Omnidian group,” said Mark Liffmann, CEO of Omnidian. “Their expertise in technical excellence and commitment to high-quality customer service align seamlessly with our vision. This acquisition reinforces our long-term investment in the Australian market and enables us to deliver tailored solutions for OEMs, solar retailers, installers, and asset owners nationwide.”

His leadership will guide the integration process while maintaining the company’s focus on localized expertise and customer satisfaction.
Australia has emerged as a global leader in renewable energy adoption, with over 30% of households equipped with rooftop solar systems. As demand for high-quality solar maintenance and performance assurance services grows, Omnidian’s expansion is well-positioned to address industry needs. The company’s proactive monitoring, rapid issue resolution, and comprehensive warranty support are designed to ensure that solar investments deliver long-term value and efficiency.
In addition to residential solar services, Omnidian offers asset management solutions for commercial and industrial solar installations. With this acquisition, Omnidian will provide enhanced service capabilities to businesses and utilities investing in solar energy, ensuring maximum system uptime and return on investment. The integration of SSG’s on-the-ground service network with Omnidian’s analytics-driven approach will enable unparalleled service reliability and operational insight.
A key differentiator for Omnidian is its emphasis on customer experience. Through cutting-edge remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and rapid field service response, the company sets a new industry standard for performance assurance. By leveraging AI and IoT technologies, Omnidian continuously monitors solar assets, identifying and addressing potential issues before they impact system performance.
Looking forward, Omnidian plans to build upon its presence in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
