For homes and businesses

Solar Panel Installation

Solar systems are planned around the usable roof area, shading, switchboard capacity, electricity use and future needs such as batteries, EV charging or electrification.

For homes

For a household, the design looks at when energy is used for heating, cooling, hot water, home offices and family routines. Roof layout and shade help determine an appropriate panel arrangement.

For businesses

For a commercial site, the assessment also considers daytime demand, operating hours, plant equipment, roof access and safety. Grid-connected systems are planned around the site and applicable connection requirements.

Designed for the next stage

Future appliances and energy needs can affect equipment choice and whether a staged upgrade is sensible. These options are discussed before a proposal is prepared.

Questions

Solar Panel Installation questions

All questions
How big should my solar system be?

It depends on your energy use, roof space and network export rules. Rather than a fixed package size, a system is sized from your usage pattern and site details.

Can I add a battery later?

Often, yes. Planning for it at the start, for example with a compatible inverter and switchboard space, can make adding a battery later simpler.

Do we need interval data for a commercial system?

It helps. Interval data from your retailer or meter shows when your site uses energy, which leads to a better-sized system. If it is not available, bills and site information can be used instead.

Can installation work around our trading hours?

Scheduling is discussed during planning so that any disruption is understood and minimised where practical.
