WHAT WE DO
Design and install of grid-connect solar and battery systems in Sydney — quality panels, hybrid inverters and Tesla Powerwall / Sungrow / Alpha ESS batteries. CEC-accredited, quoted honestly.
SOLAR & BATTERY · CHATSWOOD
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
Roof pitch/orientation captured, shading analysed, bill and interval data reviewed, and a system properly sized to your usage.
Grid-connection application lodged with Ausgrid and STC/battery rebate paperwork prepared.
Panels, inverter, isolators, DC/AC wiring and (if included) battery installed. Switchboard modifications completed.
System commissioned, monitoring app configured on your phone, retailer notified for feed-in, and full compliance package handed over.

Absolutely outstanding electrician and genuinely one of the best people to work with. He diagnosed and fixed the issue within a couple of hours. He was professional, efficient, and reliable.

VERY HIGHLY recommend! We had an issue with power at home and needed someone urgently to restore the electricity service. They responded quickly, showed up on time, and got everything back up and running without any hassle.

I highly recommend Joe, he's very skilled, kind and does honest work. He did a massive last minute job for us, installing an entire 17.4kw ducted aircon system after our old unit broke.

It was an extremely exceptional service from Joe! He came to replace my cooktop on my rented unit then went above and beyond liaising and explaining with my property manager.

I recently had Joe fix two exhaust fans at my place, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Joe showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and fixed the issues quickly.
