Residential solar and battery
Solar and storage sized to your household, installed by our own licensed crew, with the incentives that apply worked out before the quote.
The problem
Most home systems are sold as a package: a panel count and a battery size off a price list. Neither knows when your household uses power.
The same design discipline we bring to commercial sites, applied to a home. We read your bill, check the roof, the switchboard and the supply, then size solar and storage to the hours you actually use power. Our own licensed crew installs it and commissions it.
What the scope covers.
02
Home batteries, new or added to existing solar
A battery is sized to the evening, where it earns its place. Adding one to an existing system starts with a check of the inverter already there.
03
EV charging, wired to the solar
A charger is wired to the solar and the switchboard, so the car can take the midday surplus rather than the evening peak.
04
Switchboard upgrades where the board needs one
An older board with ceramic fuses is usually upgraded before anything new connects. It is priced in the same quote.
What it usually looks like
The figures that shape a home system.
These come from the federal battery program's published rules and our own warranty, not from a sales estimate. Your bill and the site visit set the rest.

Before you ask us.
How big should a home battery be?
Big enough to cover the evening, and no bigger than the solar can fill. The federal discount pays in full to 14 kWh and less per kWh above that, which is why the size is settled before the quote.
Can you add a battery to my existing solar?
Usually. The inverter already there decides how. We check it on the site visit, and an older one is sometimes replaced as part of the job.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade?
Only if the board needs one. A board with ceramic fuses usually does. We tell you at the visit and price it in the same quote.
