Cheaper bills, sorted properly.

Solar panels installed and grid-tied by a sparky who knows the gear. Make your own power, use it, and sell the rest back to the grid.

Solar's a great idea until a cowboy sells you the wrong system.

Wild savings claims. A system sized to the salesman's target instead of your roof. A door-knocker who's gone the day after the deposit clears. Solar pays off when it's sized to how you actually use power and wired properly into your board. That needs an electrician who'll still be in town next year, not a sales rep.

Sized to your roof, wired into your board.

  • Supply and install grid-tied solar: panels, inverter, the board side
  • Size the system to your real power use, not a sales target
  • Straight numbers on what you'll generate, save, and when it pays off
  • Panels mounted secure and watertight, inverter sited well
  • Tied into your switchboard safely and certified
  • Set up to feed a heat pump or EV charger, and battery-ready for later

Installed by the same crew who'll pick up the phone about it next year.

Gear we stand behind, from suppliers who last.

Solar stock changes with what the wholesaler's got in the country, so we don't lock the site to one panel. We'll talk you through the current options at the quote.

Your bills sized up, not a sales target

  1. Fill out the enquiry form

    Tell us about your roof and your power use. The more you give us, the sharper the quote.

  2. Site visit and assessment

    We look at the roof, the aspect, the shading and your board, and check your bills.

  3. Honest quote and payback

    Straight numbers on the system size, what you'll generate, what you'll save, and roughly when it pays itself off. No inflated claims.

  4. Installed and tied in

    Panels mounted secure, inverter sited well, the lot tied into your board safely.

  5. Tested, certified, connected

    Fully tested, signed off, and connected to the grid, with the paperwork in your hand.

The solar questions everyone asks.

Is solar actually worth it on my roof?

Depends on your roof, your shading and how you use power. We'll look at all three and give you straight numbers on what you'd save and when it pays off. If it's not worth it for your place, we'll tell you that too.

Will I still have power at night or in a blackout?

A standard grid-tied system uses the grid at night and pulls from it in a blackout, so you're never left without power. If you want backup through an outage, that needs a battery. We'll set the system up battery-ready so you can add one later.

Do you do the whole job, or just the electrical bit?

The whole job. The roof side and the electrical side are one install and we do both, so there's no salesman who vanishes after the deposit and no second contractor to chase.

Can I add solar to a system I've already got?

Usually, yes. Tell us what you've got on the form and we'll check whether it can be extended or whether you're better starting fresh.
