Solar, Battery & EV · Brisbane

Generate, store, drive on it.

CEC-accredited rooftop solar, battery storage with backup changeover, and EV charger installation — sized to the home, not the salesperson’s commission.

Sized to the household.

Most solar quotes start with a system size and reverse-engineer the customer's data to fit. We work the other way round: pull twelve months of bills, look at when the household actually uses power, and only then propose a system size and battery capacity.

That usually means we're recommending smaller systems than the door-knock crowd. A 13.2 kW system on a household using 18 kWh a day is mostly exporting at 5¢/kWh — the maths doesn't work and the payback stretches past the inverter's warranty. We'd rather sell you the right system and have the bills look like we said they would.

For EV charging, we look at vehicle, daily km, and existing supply before we quote. Most homes can handle a 7 kW single-phase charger; some need a service upgrade for 11 or 22 kW three-phase. We'll tell you which up front.

Solar & battery, step by step.

From first call to first export to the grid, here's what runs in the background.

1. Bills, roof, brief

We need 12 months of bills (smart-meter data ideal), a look at the roof (orientation, shading, structure), and a clear brief. Are you backing up the whole house or just the fridge and lights? Are you going off-grid in three years?

2. Engineering & design

We size the array, inverter, battery and (if needed) backup changeover to fit the brief and the network rules. Energex application lodged for systems above 5 kW single-phase.

3. Install & commissioning

Most residential installs run one to two days. CEC-accredited installer on the roof. AC isolators, DC isolators, signage, and clean cable runs — not zip-tied to the gutter.

4. STC paperwork & rebates

We handle the STC assignment, the federal rebate, and any state-level battery rebate paperwork. The price you're quoted already accounts for the rebate — no surprises at handover.

5. Monitoring set-up

Inverter app installed and explained. We walk you through reading import vs. export, battery state-of-charge, and how to spot a dropped string in winter.

Common questions.

How big a solar system do I need?

Most Brisbane households end up between 6.6 kW and 10 kW. The right size depends on your usage pattern, roof space, and whether you’re adding a battery or EV. We’ll size it from your bill data — not a postcode lookup.

Is a battery worth it without going off-grid?

It can be — especially with the federal battery rebate now in play and feed-in tariffs sitting around 5¢/kWh. We’ll show you the maths on payback before you buy. If it doesn’t stack up we’ll say so.

Can you install an EV charger if my switchboard is old?

Yes, but we may need to upgrade the switchboard or the supply. For 7 kW single-phase chargers it’s usually a board-level upgrade; for 22 kW three-phase chargers it can mean an Energex application for a service upgrade.

What brands do you install?

We’re brand-neutral but lean toward equipment with strong local warranty support — Fronius, SMA, Sungrow inverters; Tesla Powerwall, BYD, Sungrow batteries; Tesla Wall Connector and Ocular for EV. We’ll match the brief to the budget.
