Residential solar PV systems
Solar that makes sense for your home.
A solar system should do more than fit your roof. It should make sense for how you use energy today and where your household is heading.
Solar PV
Designed around your home. Not a standard package.
No two homes use electricity in quite the same way. Your roof, household habits, daytime consumption and future plans all influence what makes a good solar system.
That’s why we look at the bigger picture before recommending panels and an inverter.
Whether you’re installing solar for the first time or planning for a future battery or electric vehicle, we’ll help you find a setup that makes sense.
What we do
Solar solutions for today and tomorrow.

System design & sizing
How much solar does your home actually need?
The right system size isn’t simply the biggest one that fits on your roof.
We consider how much electricity your home uses, when you use it and whether your energy needs are likely to change.
A household planning to add a battery, electric vehicle or electric hot water system may have different requirements from one focused on reducing daytime grid consumption.
Electricity usage
Your current consumption and daily usage patterns.
Roof layout
Available space, orientation, pitch and shading.
Electrical supply
Single-phase or three-phase supply, inverter configuration and applicable network requirements.
Future plans
Potential batteries, EV charging, electrification or increased household consumption.
Budget
Balancing system cost, expected performance and long-term value.

FAQs
Solar questions
Quick answers to common questions. If yours isn't here, give us a call.
It depends on your electricity usage, roof space, electrical supply and future plans. We’ll review these factors and recommend a system suited to your home rather than relying on a standard package size.
Not necessarily. A larger system can generate more electricity, but the value depends on how much energy you use, when you use it, export arrangements and the overall installation cost.
Often, yes. The options depend on your inverter, electrical configuration and the battery system you choose. If you’re considering storage in the future, it’s worth planning for it during the initial solar design.
Solar can still be suitable for some partially shaded roofs, but shading can affect generation. We’ll assess the roof layout and discuss appropriate system design options.
Not always. The appropriate inverter configuration depends on the proposed system, site requirements and applicable network rules. We’ll assess the options for your property.
Installation time depends on system size, roof access, electrical work and site conditions. We’ll explain the expected timeframe when preparing your proposal.
Most standard grid-connected solar systems shut down during a grid outage for safety. Backup operation requires compatible equipment and an appropriately designed and installed backup system.
We can explain the applicable incentive and approval processes for your proposed installation. Eligibility, available incentives and network requirements depend on the system and current rules.
