Solar solutions for different situations

Not every solar project starts from the same place. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or planning solar as part of a new build, the approach needs to suit your home, timing and long-term plans.

Solar System Upgrades

If you already have solar but it no longer suits your household, upgrading part of your system can often deliver better performance without starting from scratch.


Solar upgrades may make sense if:


  • Your system is older or underperforming

  • Your energy use has increased over time

  • You’re adding heating, cooling, or an EV charger

  • You’re preparing for battery storage

We assess what can be reused, what needs replacing, and explain your options clearly so you’re only upgrading what actually adds value.

Solar for New Builds

Planning solar during the build stage gives you more flexibility and cleaner results.


For new homes, early solar planning allows for:


  • Better panel placement and roof layout

  • Correct switchboard sizing from day one

  • Neater cabling with fewer visible conduits

  • Easier preparation for batteries and EV charging

We work alongside your builder or electrician to ensure solar is installed at the right stage and complies with ACT requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you’ve been researching solar and feel more confused than when you started, you’re not alone.


Here are clear answers to the questions we’re asked most often by Canberra homeowners.

  • Do I need an on-site assessment before getting a solar quote?

    Yes. Every home is different, especially in Canberra. We assess your roof, shading, switchboard and energy use so the system is designed properly—not guessed from satellite images alone.

  • How do I know what size solar system is right for my home?

    The right size depends on how and when you use electricity, not just your roof size. We look at your usage patterns and future plans (like EVs or heating upgrades) before recommending a system.

  • Can solar be added if my home already has electrical or switchboard limitations?

    Often, yes. In some cases, minor electrical upgrades are needed to ensure safety and compliance. We’ll explain what’s required upfront and why, before any work goes ahead.

  • Will solar still work during a power outage?

    Standard solar systems shut down during outages for safety reasons. If backup power is important to you, we can design a system that includes battery storage and essential circuit backup.

  • Do you handle rebates and paperwork?

    Yes. We take care of STCs and required paperwork as part of the process, so you don’t have to navigate it yourself.
