Good to know
Solar and battery planning questions.
Short answers now. Longer reads in our advice guides.
Do you install the solar panels themselves?
Our focus is planning the comfort systems that use your energy: heating, cooling and hot water. Contact us to confirm the scope and installation arrangements for panels and inverters as part of your project.
What's the best appliance to pair with solar?
Heat-pump hot water with suitable daytime scheduling is one option. The best fit depends on your generation, hot water demand, existing equipment and other daytime electricity use.
Will efficient air conditioning really run on my solar?
Solar can supply some of the electricity used by air conditioning while it is generating. Grid demand depends on system size, weather, other household loads and when you run the equipment.
Signs it is time to act
- You're about to install or expand rooftop solar
- You export a lot of power midday but pay peak rates at night
- You want to store daytime solar in a home battery for evening use
What affects your solar-ready plan
- Which loads you shift. The appliances you replace and your usage patterns affect the scope and potential running-cost benefits.
- Battery storage. Battery capacity, compatibility and installation requirements affect the price. Incentives may apply to eligible systems.
- Equipment efficiency. Equipment efficiency, capacity and operating conditions affect both the purchase price and energy use.
