What we fit

One system, sized to your house.

We don't run a catalogue of brands. We fit gear we're happy to put our own name on, and we size it around how your household actually uses power.

Panels

Risen 475W N-Type TOPCon

Bifacial, so they pick up reflected light off the roof as well as direct sun. How many you need comes down to your roof space, its pitch and which way it faces.

Battery

GoodWe LFP, stacked in 8kWh modules

Lithium iron phosphate, rated by GoodWe at 8,000 cycles — one charge a day for more than twenty years. It stacks, so you can start smaller and add modules later without changing the inverter.

Inverter

GoodWe all-in-one

Inverter and battery in a single wall unit, single or three-phase. Already got solar? Your panels stay exactly where they are and we tie them in.

What it costs depends on your switchboard, your roof, where the battery can go and whether you're on single or three-phase. That's why we don't publish a price list — a number that ignores all four is a guess dressed up as a quote. Answer five questions and we'll show you the ballpark for a house like yours.

What to expect

No sales pressure. Just the numbers.

20 years in electrical

We've been licensed QLD electricians for two decades, starting out with Navy training on power systems. Solar and battery installs are an extension of what we already know inside out — switchboards, wiring, and making sure it's done right.

🔧

We quote, we install

The CEC-accredited electrician who visits your home is the same one on your roof on install day. No handoffs to subcontractors, no surprises on the day.

📋

No mystery pricing

Federal rebates come off before you see a number, not after. We'll walk you through the full breakdown — what the gear costs, what the install costs, what the rebate covers — and there are no add-ons that appear later.

FAQ

Common questions, honest answers.

Feed-in tariffs are nothing — why bother with solar?+
Spot on, feed-in is 4–6¢/kWh in QLD now. That's exactly why we lead with battery. The maths in 2026 isn't about selling power back, it's about not buying it at 38¢/kWh in the evening. The battery stores your cheap daytime generation for the expensive evening peak.
What's the Federal Battery Rebate?+
The Cheaper Home Batteries Program (CHBP) is tiered: $265/kWh for the first 14kWh, $159/kWh for kWh 14–28, and $40/kWh for kWh 28–50. On a 48kWh battery that's $6,736 off — applied at point of sale, no paperwork from you. Worth knowing: the battery rebate steps down on 1 January 2027, and the solar STC discount drops at the same time, so a system installed before then keeps the higher amount.
I already have solar — can I just add a battery?+
Yes. Most QLD homes already have solar, so we do a lot of retrofit-only installs. Our quote tool detects which path fits your home and recommends accordingly.
What if you go out of business in 5 years?+
Product warranties (GoodWe inverter + battery, Risen panels) are with the manufacturers — they'll honour them whether we're around or not. CEC-accredited installers also have to maintain a 10-year workmanship warranty backed by the industry body. You're covered both ways.
My roof is older. Should I wait until I re-roof?+
If it's over 25 years old and you're re-roofing in 5 years, fair enough — let's hold off. Anything under 20 and structurally sound, we can mount the rails without issue. We'll inspect on the consult.
