What size solar system do I need?
It depends on how much power you use and when. We look at a full year of bills, not just summer, then size the system to your real use. The free tool above gives you a rough starting range.
Is a battery worth it yet?
For some homes, yes, especially if you use a lot of power in the evening. For others, more panels or a better plan helps more. The battery planner above shows how much you'd store, and we'll give you a straight answer.
My roof faces east and west. Is that a problem?
Not at all. North is best for total output, but east and west roofs work well, and they can suit households that use more power in the morning and evening.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar later?
Usually. It depends on your inverter and switchboard. We can make a new system "battery-ready" now so adding one later is simpler.
Do I need a wall charger for an EV, or is a power point enough?
A normal power point works if you don't drive far each day. A wall charger is much quicker and can often be set to charge from your solar. Try the EV tool above with your own weekly kilometres.
Will my panels work in a blackout?
Standard grid-connected solar switches off in a blackout for safety. To keep power on, you need a battery with backup set up for the circuits you choose.
Who actually installs it?
We do. Tash and Leo quote, install and come back if anything needs a look. No subcontractors you've never met.
How long does an install take?
Most home solar systems are done in a day. Batteries and switchboard upgrades can add time, and we'll tell you up front.
