SOLAR SERVICES

Solar energy is a smart investment for both your wallet and the planet. By installing solar panels, you can significantly reduce your electricity bills, protect yourself from rising energy costs, and increase the value of your property. Plus, it’s a clean, renewable source of power that reduces your carbon footprint and supports a more sustainable future. With government incentives and finance options available, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.

Whether you’re in Perth, Mandurah, or the surrounding areas, we’ve got the team and the tools to bring this game changing solution to your home – without the delays.

Several factors can influence your solar system’s performance, including:

• Roof Orientation & Angle: North-facing roofs in Australia typically get the most sunlight.
• Shading: Trees, buildings, or chimneys that cast shadows on your panels can reduce output.
• Weather Conditions: Cloudy or rainy days can temporarily reduce solar production.
• System Size & Efficiency: The number and quality of your panels, along with your inverter, play a big role.
• Maintenance: Clean, well-maintained panels perform better over time.

Our team will assess your property and tailor a solar solution to maximise your energy generation.

Yes, a system with solar panels facing in a southerly direction will generate far less than one with a northerly aspect, however any solar is better than none.

East and west installations are also a good option depending on the installation scenario and power consumption.

If your solar system was installed before 2018, its likely time to upgrade. Older panels may be out of warranty, less efficient, and in need of replacement. Upgrading also ensures compliance and prepares your system for adding batteries or future expansion.

Our solar team will support you with this and provide a personalised solar and battery quote that fits your energy goals and budget.

As an exclusive Sigenergy partner, we supply Sigenergy batteries and EV chargers exclusively, so every storage and charging system we install is one we know inside out. For solar panels, we offer a selection of established brands, so we can tailor your system to suit your home and requirements.

Regular maintenance helps keep your solar system operating safely and efficiently by preventing the build-up of dirt and debris, ensuring all components are secure and functioning correctly, and identifying faults or deterioration before they become major issues. Routine servicing also includes important electrical and safety checks to help maintain strong energy production and maximise the long-term performance of your system. 

We recommend servicing your solar system annually to maintain performance and safety. You should also book an inspection if you notice reduced output, higher electricity bills, system alerts, or signs of damage or faults.

The WA Residential Battery Scheme is a State Government initiative that helps households with the cost of installing a home battery. It offers a rebate and, for eligible households, a no-interest loan, and it can be combined with the Federal Government's Cheaper Home Batteries Program for greater savings.

To qualify, your battery must be enrolled in a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) through your electricity retailer, Synergy or Horizon Power. A VPP links home batteries across WA so they can work together to support the grid at peak times, and you can earn credits for the energy your battery contributes.

We recommend conducting your own research to determine which option best suits you. Here are some helpful links to support your decision-making process:

Blackout protection refers to your inverter and battery system’s capacity to keep your house powered up when the grid goes out. You’ll be able to power your home using a solar and battery system in case the electricity goes out, keeping essential circuits such as lights, power outlets, and refrigerators going.

How does it work?
If you have a battery enabled with blackout protection (or backup), there is nothing you need to do when the power goes out. The battery will detect that the grid is down, go into blackout mode and begin to discharge power to the essential loads. The switchover periods vary depending on the battery manufacturer; however, they are often only a few seconds.

What appliances can I run during a blackout?
Essential circuits such as lights, charging points and fridges are often turned on first, and customers can benefit from having them connected to the backup. Running energy-intensive appliances is not recommended to ensure that the stored energy lasts for a long time. The amount of energy you use and the amount of energy the battery stores will determine how long the battery will offer backup power.

Let’s consider a 5kW Hybrid Inverter with a 5kWh battery as an example, the maximum power supplied to your backup circuits would be limited to 5 kW (21.7A). Therefore, you can consider backing up 2-3 light(s) and 1 power circuit while ensuring the maximum demand does not exceed the Inverter backup rating.

Most solar systems in Australia are grid-connected. While they power your home and feed excess energy back to the grid, they shut down during blackouts for safety and protection reasons.

Safety: If solar panels keep feeding power into the grid during an outage, it can endanger utility workers repairing the lines.

System protection: Voltage spikes during outages can damage your inverter and electrical devices, so the system automatically disconnects.

Want backup power?
Add a battery storage system. It stores solar energy during the day and can power essential appliances during blackouts.

During the day, your panels generate electricity used in your home and can also charge the batteries. In a power outage, the inverter can switch to using the stored solar energy in the batteries to power essential appliances during blackouts.
