- Optional comparison with battery storage
Solar + battery
For households wanting to use stored solar in the evening and discuss backup options.

- Backup loads agreed as part of the design
Business solar
For businesses with daytime electricity demand and suitable roof or site space.
- Review of operating hours and power bills
- Design around site supply and loads
- Installation planned with your business
Already have solar? We can assess battery additions and system upgrades. Tell us your existing inverter model and what you want to improve.
Understand your investment
What determines the cost of solar?
A useful price starts with your roof and electricity use. We prepare a tailored quote so you can see which equipment and installation work are proposed for your property.
The main cost factors
- Panels and inverter: capacity, equipment choice and available roof space.
- Battery and backup: storage capacity and the appliances you want to support.
- Installation: roof access, mounting, cable routes and any switchboard work.
- Connection: metering and grid-connection requirements for your site.
What to compare in a proposal
- Panel, inverter and battery models and capacities.
- Installed price, GST treatment, inclusions and exclusions.
- Generation and savings estimates with their assumptions.
- Equipment warranties, workmanship terms and support.
Savings depend on generation, shading, when you use electricity, your tariff and export rates. Any estimate should reflect your household or business, rather than a guaranteed percentage.

Before you decide
Solar, batteries and backup explained
Solar generates electricity for your property. A battery can store energy for later use. Backup during an outage is a separate design requirement: tell us which appliances matter so we can discuss a suitable configuration.

Common questions
Planning your solar installation
How much will my solar installation cost?
The price depends on the panels, inverter, battery options, roof access and electrical work required. Send us your suburb and a recent power bill for a tailored assessment and quote.
Do I have to install a battery?
No. We can discuss solar without storage and compare it with a battery option. Your daytime and evening power use will help guide the choice.
Will the system power my home during a blackout?
Ask for backup to be included in the design. We’ll explain the proposed equipment, supported circuits and load limits rather than assuming every solar or battery system provides whole-home backup.
Can you add a battery to my existing solar system?
We can assess the options. Send us the inverter brand and model, your current system details and what you want the battery to do.
How long does installation take?
The on-site work for many residential installations takes 1–2 days. Site complexity, equipment availability and connection requirements affect the overall schedule. We’ll confirm timing for your project.
Can you plan for an EV charger or heat pump?
Yes. Tell us about existing or planned major loads so we can include them in the discussion. We also provide heat pump installations and residential electrical upgrades.
What happens after installation?
We explain system operation, help set up monitoring and remain available for support. Your proposal and handover information should identify the applicable equipment warranties and workmanship terms.
