Frequently Asked Questions

Things we get asked a lot

  • Fully licensed and experienced Solar & electrical Installers

  • Custom-designed systems

  • Quality products and clean workmanship

  • Honest advice and clear communication

We treat your home like it’s our own.

To give you the most accurate advice and pricing, we’ll usually ask for:

  • A recent electricity bill

  • Your property address

  • Roof type and number of storeys

  • Any plans for future upgrades (air-con, EV charger, battery, etc.)

This allows us to design the right system from day one.

In most cases, yes. During your free consultation we assess:

  • Roof orientation and available space

  • Shading and roof condition

  • Your current and future energy needs

If solar isn’t the right fit, we’ll be honest and tell you, no pressure.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. We size your system based on:

  • Your electricity usage

  • Household size

  • High-load appliances (air-con, pool, EV)

  • Future plans

The result? A system that performs properly and delivers real savings.

Most of our customers see immediate reductions in their power bills, with long-term savings continuing for decades. Your exact savings depend on your energy usage and system size. Contact us for a free consultation to find out exactly how much you could save.

Yes. Government rebates can significantly reduce your upfront cost.We handle all rebate paperwork and approvals, so you don’t have to.

A battery isn’t essential, but it can be a game changer. Batteries are ideal if you want to:

  • Use more of your own solar power at night

  • Reduce reliance on the grid

  • Protect against rising electricity prices

  • Have backup power during outages

We’ll help you decide if a battery makes sense now, or later.

Yes. We can design your solar system to be battery-ready, so you can add storage when the time is right.

Standard solar systems shut down during outages for safety. If you want power during blackouts, we can install a battery with backup capability to keep essential circuits running.

  • Solar panels: 25+ years

  • Inverters: 10–15 years

  • Batteries: 10–15 years, depending on use

We only install quality, proven brands backed by solid warranties.

Solar systems are very low maintenance. Occasional panel cleaning and system monitoring is usually all that’s needed and we’ll show you how to track performance from your phone.

Most solar installations are completed in one day. Solar and battery systems typically take 1–2 days, depending on the size of the system.
