Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on how much power you use, when you use it and how much usable roof space you have. Send us a recent power bill and we’ll recommend a system sized to your actual usage, not a one-size-fits-all package.

For many households, yes, especially if you use a lot of power in the evening when your panels aren’t producing. A battery stores your daytime solar so you can use it at night instead of buying power from the grid. We’ll run the numbers for your home and give you a straight answer.

The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program discounts eligible batteries installed since 1 July 2025, and the discount is usually taken off your quote up front. The battery must be on the Clean Energy Council’s approved list, installed with rooftop solar, and fitted by a Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) accredited installer. The discount steps down every six months, so the value depends on when your battery is installed.

Usually, yes. Depending on your current inverter, we’ll either connect the battery to your existing setup or recommend a hybrid inverter. We’ll check your system and switchboard first and explain the options.

Quality solar panels typically come with a 25-year performance warranty. Inverters usually need replacing sooner, so it’s worth knowing the warranty on both before you buy. We’ll walk you through the warranties on every system we quote.

Yes. We design and install commercial solar and battery systems sized to your daytime usage, with installs scheduled around your trading hours.
