WHY SOLAR AND STORAGE

Energy costs are rising. Grid reliability is declining.

A Solar PV and battery storage offer a smarter, future-proof alternative. With the right design, your system can:

Reduce grid dependence and energy bills
Protect critical loads during outages
Increase onsite energy use and efficiency
Support EV charging and electrification
Enable long-term sustainability and independence

Every system we build is engineered for your site, energy profile, and resilience needs — no generic “one-size-fits-all” installs.

Residential and commercial solar + battery systems

Deliver clean, reliable energy to homes and businesses while reducing grid dependence and energy costs.

Microgrids and hybrid off-grid systems

Create self-sufficient energy networks for communities, remote sites, and critical infrastructure.

Critical load backup and redundancy

Ensure essential systems stay powered during outages or grid failures.

EV charging support

Enable off-grid or hybrid charging solutions for electric vehicles, anywhere power is needed.

Agricultural and remote power applications

Provide reliable energy for farms, irrigation, and off-grid operations in remote locations.

Peak shaving and load shifting for businesses

Reduce demand charges and optimise energy use with smart storage management.

Q. How much can I save with solar and battery storage?

Savings depend on your energy usage, site conditions, and local tariffs. Most customers significantly reduce grid reliance and energy bills, especially when pairing solar with adequate battery capacity. We model expected savings before any installation.

Q. What size battery do I need?

Battery size is determined by your energy profile, critical loads, and resilience goals. We use load analysis and modelling to recommend the right capacity, not oversized, not undersized.

Q. Can the system run during a blackout?

Yes, if designed with backup capability. Our systems can power critical circuits or entire sites during outages, using solar + battery in islanded (off-grid) mode.

Q. What brands or technologies do you use?

We use proven, Tier-1 solar and storage technologies suitable for Australian conditions. We partner only with trusted manufacturers, certified installers, and vetted suppliers to ensure every solution is safe, compliant, and high-performing.

Q. Do you offer off-grid or hybrid systems?

Yes, this is at the heart of what we do. We design fully off-grid systems, grid-connected hybrid systems, and microgrids for remote or high-reliability applications.

Q. How long do batteries last?

Most modern lithium batteries last 10–15 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions. We also provide end-of-life recycling and replacement planning.

Q. Can a battery be added to my existing solar system?

In most cases, yes. We can retrofit a compatible battery or upgrade your inverter to support storage.

Q. Do you handle installation and maintenance?

Yes, we provide complete installation, commissioning, monitoring, optimisation, and lifecycle support to ensure long-term performance.

Q. What rebates or incentives are available?

Australia currently offers several national and state-based solar and battery incentives. We can advise on eligibility and assist with the application process.

Q. How do I get started?

Simply book an assessment. We’ll review your site, analyse energy usage, model your system, and provide a tailored proposal.
