Frequently asked questions
What size system does a typical home need?
It depends on what you want to run and for how long. We size from your bills and a load list; the Help Me Choose tool gives an indicative range before a site survey.
Can I add batteries or panels later?
Yes, if the original design allows for it. We specify inverters and battery platforms with expansion headroom when you tell us you plan to grow.
Will the system run during a blackout?
A hybrid or off-grid system with batteries supplies the backed-up circuits during an outage. Grid-tie systems without batteries shut down for safety.
Do you handle approvals?
Installations are carried out to the Energy (Solar Photovoltaic Systems) Regulations. We will advise on any utility or building approvals your property needs.
How do you calculate savings?
We model hourly generation for your location against your consumption profile and state every assumption — tariff, degradation, self-consumption — so the numbers can be checked.
Can solar work with our generator?
Yes. Hybrid inverters and ATS equipment can be configured so solar, grid, battery and generator operate in a defined priority.
Will installation disrupt operations?
Most work happens on the roof; the changeover to the new distribution equipment is scheduled for a planned short shutdown.
Do you need our load data?
Interval or maximum-demand data gives the best design. Where it isn't available we can install temporary logging during the survey.
