This page is for the people who want to see exactly what's going on the roof, exactly how the install runs, and exactly what separates us from a sales-quota operation. If you'd rather keep things simple, the calculator and overview are one click away.
← Back to the simple versionWe don't run one fixed catalogue. Equipment is matched to your roof, budget, and usage pattern, but here's the baseline spec every system is built from.
We spec panels in the 500–550W range from established Tier 1 manufacturers — for example Trina Solar's Vertex S+ (N-type i-TOPCon, dual glass) or AIKO's Neostar (N-type back-contact) ranges, depending on your roof and budget.
Simple, unshaded roofs typically run a string inverter. Complex roof lines or partial shading usually call for microinverters or power optimisers instead. We work with established brands such as Sungrow and FoxESS — we'll tell you which fits your roof and why.
LFP chemistry over older NMC batteries for better thermal stability, sized to how much of the evening you actually want covered. We work with established brands such as Sungrow and FoxESS.
Every system ships with app-based monitoring down to the individual panel or string, so a shading issue or underperforming panel shows up as data, not a guess.
No step here is skippable, and nothing is subcontracted out to someone who's never seen your file before.
A qualified assessor checks roof structure and orientation, shading across the day and across seasons, and your switchboard's capacity for the system size being considered.
Panel layout, string configuration, and inverter sizing are calculated from your actual roof measurements and usage data, not a generic template. You see the design before anything is ordered.
Installation follows AS/NZS 5033 and AS/NZS 4777, by CEC-accredited installers. Grid-connection approval through your local distribution network service provider is handled as part of the job, not billed as an extra.
Typically completed in a single day for residential systems. Roof penetrations are flashed and sealed to manufacturer specification, and all DC/AC wiring is isolated and tested before commissioning.
Full system test, monitoring app set up on your phone, and a walkthrough of what the numbers mean. You get the compliance certificate and warranty documentation, not just a working system.
Not slogans — specific practices you can hold us to.
The quote you get after the site assessment is the price you pay. No line items added after the fact.
System size comes from your actual consumption pattern, not whichever panels we're trying to move that month.
The people who design your system are the same business that installs and supports it, not a subcontracted sales layer with no stake in the outcome.
Brand, model, and spec sheet for your panels, inverter, and battery, before you sign anything.
Modern Tier 1 monocrystalline panels typically lose around 1% of output in the first year, then roughly 0.35–0.4% per year after that, meaning most panels still produce 87% or more of their original output after 30 years, backed by the manufacturer's performance warranty. The bulk of that loss happens gradually and linearly, not in a sudden drop-off.
Without a battery with backup capability, a standard grid-tied system shuts off during a blackout as a safety requirement, even if the sun's out, so it doesn't feed power back into lines that repair crews may be working on. A battery with a backup circuit keeps essential loads running regardless.
Yes. Your local distribution network service provider sets an export limit, commonly around 5kW for a standard single-phase residential connection, though this varies by network and can sometimes be increased on application. This affects how much of your solar you can sell back, not how much you can generate and use yourself.
Three separate warranties apply: a product warranty (defects in the panel or inverter itself), a performance warranty (guaranteed minimum output over time), and a workmanship warranty from us covering the installation itself. They run on different timeframes, and we'll set out all three in writing before installation.
