Solar Power Systems

We design and install custom solar power systems using Clean Energy Council accredited components. Our process begins with energy usage analysis and financial modelling to maximise savings. Qualified electricians ensure compliance with Australian standards, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty. Systems typically reduce electricity bills by hundreds monthly while lowering carbon footprints through renewable energy generation.

Solar Battery Systems

Our battery solutions enable 24/7 solar energy use by storing excess daytime production. We offer leading brands like Tesla Powerwall and LG Chem with expert integration. This technology reduces grid dependence, optimises self-consumption, and provides backup power during outages. Systems are custom-sized to match household consumption patterns and energy independence goals.

Residential Installations

Tailored solar solutions for homeowners featuring system design optimised for roof orientation and energy needs. We handle all aspects from initial consultation to grid connection approval. Installations use premium components with performance warranties up to 25 years. Customers report average payback periods of 3 years and winter bills as low as $42 through efficient energy production.

Commercial Installations

Scalable commercial solar systems designed for businesses of all sizes. Our engineers create solutions that align with operational energy demands and budget requirements. Systems integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure while delivering significant operating cost reductions. Commercial clients benefit from accelerated depreciation and government incentive programs available for business energy upgrades.

Off-grid Systems

Complete off-grid power solutions combining solar, battery storage, and backup generators for remote properties. Systems are engineered for reliability in standalone applications using AC/DC coupling configurations. We optimise component selection based on location-specific renewable resources, ensuring consistent power supply independent of utility networks while maintaining appliance efficiency.

Questions

How does solar power work for homes?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. This DC electricity gets converted to AC power by inverters for household use, reducing grid dependence.

What factors determine solar system size?

System size depends on energy consumption patterns, roof space, budget, and desired self-sufficiency level. We analyse your electricity bills to recommend optimal capacity.

Are solar rebates still available?

Yes, the Federal Government's Small-scale Technology Certificates scheme provides rebates for eligible installations, with savings varying based on system size and location.

How long do solar systems last?

Quality systems typically operate efficiently for 25+ years. Panels come with 25-year performance warranties while inverters require replacement after 10-15 years with proper maintenance.

Can I add batteries later?

Yes, our systems are designed for future battery integration. We recommend planning for storage during initial installation to optimise system compatibility and expansion.

What maintenance do solar systems need?

Annual inspections and cleaning ensure optimal performance. We offer monitoring services to detect issues early and maintain system efficiency throughout warranty periods.

Nov 15, 2021 Report

Adam and the guys are absolutely amazing. Personable and professional and light-years ahead in terms of what they offer compared to the other providers we met with. It's been a genuine pleasure dealing with a company that offers such above and beyond service. We weren't just given a standard template so that they could maximise their profit. They worked with us to find the solution that best suited us and our situation. Also, just to prove they back themselves, when we renovated and had to move the panels around, they couldn't have been more helpful. I've given other five star reviews but honestly

A great overall experience, from the initial quote, installation and finally, after sales service, Adam and the team at Home and Energy provided a professional, friendly and most importantly, a punctual service.I highly recommend them to anyone considering solar installation.

Adam and his entire Home and Energy team were absolutely fantastic in guiding us and advising us on our solar purchase and installation. They were very patient when working through the business case options and explaining all of the various set up and configuration that is possible. The team also don't just install and forget, but followed up diligently a few weeks after installation to identify further configuration improvements and helped to implement those. We could not recommend Home and Engery highly enough
