How Solar Installation Works

The single most useful thing you can send us is your last 12 months of electricity bills. Annual consumption in kWh, and how that consumption splits between day and night, is what actually determines the right system size and whether a battery is worth it for you. Your address lets us check roof orientation, pitch and shading before anyone drives out. If you only have one recent bill, send that — we can work with it and refine later.

Our engineers look at three things: whether the roof structure and available area can carry the system you want, whether your switchboard and wiring need upgrading to meet current standards, and whether the local network will approve the export capacity. This is also where complications surface — a two-storey install, tile versus metal roof, heavy shading from neighbouring trees, or a switchboard that needs replacing. Anything that changes the quote gets raised here, before you commit.

Residential installations are typically completed in a single day; commercial projects are staged according to scale and the agreed plan. All work is carried out by appropriately licensed and accredited installers, in accordance with the applicable Australian Standards and electrical safety regulations. Power is off for part of the day while the system is connected — we tell you the expected window in advance so you can plan around it.

Once the system is commissioned and connected to the grid, you can track generation and consumption from the monitoring app. Warranties run 25 years on the panels and 10 years on the inverter and battery, per the manufacturers’ own warranty documentation — plus a workmanship warranty on our installation as set out in your contract. Ongoing maintenance is minimal: periodic inspection and an occasional clean when output starts drifting down.
