Every home, tied to the grid.
Across the Northern Rivers, homes lean on a grid that keeps getting pricier and less predictable.
Your home is paying more than ever to keep the power on. We design, install and support rooftop solar and battery systems that hand that control back to you. One local team, since 2008.
From the first site visit to years of monitoring, we handle the whole system in-house: design, installation, grid connection and paperwork. One local team, one point of contact, no subcontractors.

Across the Northern Rivers, homes lean on a grid that keeps getting pricier and less predictable.
We size solar to your roof and how you actually use power, then install it cleanly with our own accredited team.
Solar by day, battery through the evening peak, backup when the grid drops. Backed by fifteen years of local installs, one team throughout.
Not panels on a roof. A home that costs less to run and keeps going when the grid doesn't.
Generate your own power by day and lean on the grid far less across the year.
Add a battery and store the day's solar for the evening peak, when power costs the most.
Keep the fridge, lights and internet running through outages with a battery-backed system.
A well-designed system adds long-term value and is supported by the team that built it.
Four ways we design a system around how you live, from a simple rooftop array through to a full solar, battery and EV setup.

A right-sized panel system matched to your roof and daytime usage. The simplest way to start cutting the bill.

Store the day's solar and run your home on it after dark, so you buy far less power at peak rates.

Solar and battery set up to keep essential circuits running through a blackout, automatically.

Design your system now so adding a home EV charger later runs on the power you generate.
Slide to your typical quarterly bill. We'll show an indicative annual saving and a sensible starting system size.
Indicative only, based on typical offset assumptions. Your free consult includes a tailored design, your actual usage and exact numbers.

A few of the things homeowners ask before they start. Have another? Talk to a specialist.
It depends on your roof, your usage and your goals. We assess how you actually use power across the day, then size the system so it pays for itself without over-building. Your free consult gives you an exact recommendation.
Panels cut your daytime power costs. A battery lets you store that power for the evening peak and gives you backup through outages. We will tell you honestly whether a battery makes sense for your place and budget, now or later.
No. One in-house team designs, installs and supports your system. The people who plan it are the people who fit it and look after it for years.
Yes. We can design your solar so it is ready for a battery or a home EV charger down the track, or add to an existing system whenever you are ready.
