SOLAR & BATTERY · BIRCHGROVE

Solar & Battery Systems in Birchgrove — done properly, first visit

Solar in Sydney only pays if it's sized properly for your daytime consumption and installed with quality gear that lasts 15+ years. We design systems around your actual usage (bill and interval data pulled from your retailer), not a generic "6.6kW fits all" default — most Sydney households benefit from 8-10kW of panels feeding a hybrid inverter that's battery-ready even if you don't add the battery on day one.

For battery storage we install Tesla Powerwall 3, Sungrow SBH, and Alpha ESS SMILE — sized to your evening load, not oversold. A well-sized battery covers the evening peak and overnight base load, cuts grid import by 70-90%, and keeps essential circuits alive during a blackout. The NSW battery rebate (from 2024) is available to eligible households and we handle the paperwork.

Every install is designed and signed off by a CEC-accredited designer/installer — the legal requirement to unlock STC rebates. We handle Ausgrid grid-connection approval, the switchboard changes required for solar/battery integration, EV-charger-ready wiring and CT clamps for consumption monitoring, and the compliance package your retailer needs for feed-in tariff.

HOW THE JOB RUNS
