Solar Installation
We design and install custom solar photovoltaic systems tailored to property requirements. Our solutions range from 8kW residential setups to 82kW commercial arrays, using premium panels from Jinko, Qcells, and Fronius. With 8,000+ installations completed since 2009, our CEC-accredited team ensures optimal system performance through detailed energy audits and site-specific design. All installations include 10-year workmanship guarantees and access to government rebates through Solar Victoria and the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme.
Battery Storage
Our battery solutions enable energy independence through leading brands like Tesla Powerwall, BYD, and RedEarth. Systems range from 13.5kWh residential units to 46kWh commercial storage, allowing 24/7 power availability. We specialise in hybrid systems that integrate with existing solar arrays, offering grid outage protection and reduced electricity bills. Installation includes smart monitoring systems for real-time energy management and expansion capabilities through connect-and-grow technology.
Off-Grid Systems
We create complete off-grid energy solutions for remote properties and communities, combining solar generation with battery storage and backup generators. Projects include 30kW systems for agricultural properties and portable container-based solutions for Queensland farms. Our designs incorporate SMA Sunny Island inverters and BYD batteries, ensuring reliable power supply in areas without grid access. Systems are custom-engineered to meet specific energy demands with 20+ year operational lifespans.
EV Charging
We supply and install EV charging solutions from Tesla and Zappi, optimised for residential and commercial use. Our systems integrate with solar arrays to maximise renewable energy usage, featuring smart grid capabilities and mobile app control. Installations include 13kW Tesla Powerwall-integrated systems and Zappi units that utilise surplus solar generation. We provide end-to-end service including consultation, installation, and ongoing support for Victoria's growing EV market.
Solar Hot Water
Our solar hot water systems combine efficiency with sustainability, featuring brands like iStore iHeat and Stiebel Eltron. Systems qualify for Solar Victoria rebates up to $1,000 and deliver 30-77% energy bill reductions. We offer gas-to-electric heat pump conversions with STC and VEEC incentives, ensuring both environmental benefits and cost savings. Installations include 270L iStore units paired with 13kW solar arrays for comprehensive hot water solutions.
Questions
How long does a typical solar installation take?
Most residential installations complete within 1-2 days, with commercial projects taking 3-5 days depending on system complexity and size.

Yes, we help clients access Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and state-specific programs like Solar Victoria's $1,000 hot water rebate.
What maintenance do solar systems require?
Annual inspections recommended, with panel cleaning typically unnecessary due to self-cleaning design and natural rainfall.
Can I add battery storage later?
Our systems are designed for future battery integration, with hybrid inverter options available for seamless retrofitting.
Do you service both residential and commercial clients?
We provide solutions for homes, farms, schools, and businesses, with systems ranging from 8kW to 82kW capacities.
