Services
Stand Alone Solar Systems
Stand alone solar systems provide complete grid independence through solar panels, batteries, regulators, and inverters. These systems eliminate electricity bills and power outages by storing energy for 24/7 use. Designed for homes and businesses requiring full energy autonomy, our systems include precise sizing calculations to match daily energy consumption patterns.
Grid Connect Systems
Grid connected systems reduce energy costs by supplementing mains power with solar generation. Excess energy can be fed back to the grid under NSW feed-in tariffs. These systems optimize savings by using solar power during peak rate periods while maintaining grid connection for reliability and backup supply.
Solar Backup Systems
Solar backup systems automatically switch to battery power during outages or peak tariff periods. With programmable discharge settings and grid recharging options, these systems provide energy security while optimizing cost savings. Systems support remote monitoring and export control to match existing infrastructure limitations.
Energy Needs Calculator
Our energy calculator worksheet determines optimal system size by analyzing daily energy consumption patterns. The tool allows users to customize appliance usage data to calculate kilowatt-hour requirements. This ensures accurate system design for both stand-alone and grid-connected installations.
System Installation
We provide complete solar system installation including component selection, configuration, and commissioning. Our services cover all aspects from panel mounting through inverter programming to battery bank setup. Technical support includes system optimization and remote monitoring integration for long-term performance assurance.

Questions
What solar system sizes do you offer?
System sizes vary based on energy needs. A 1000W panel system typically supports 2100WH daily usage. We customize systems to match your specific requirements.
Do you provide government rebate assistance?
Yes, our Clean Energy Council accreditation enables us to help clients access available rebates for renewable energy systems.
Can solar systems work during power outages?
Our backup systems automatically switch to battery power during grid failures, maintaining selected circuits indefinitely based on battery and panel capacity.
How do grid-connected systems save money?
Grid systems reduce bills by using solar power first, then grid supply. As electricity prices rise, savings increase through reduced consumption and potential feed-in tariff credits.
What areas do you service?
We serve the Southern Highlands region including Tarago, plus major centers in Canberra, Braidwood and Goulburn.
What components are included in a complete system?
Complete systems include solar panels, batteries, regulators, inverters, and monitoring equipment. We select components to match your energy requirements and system configuration.
