System Design and Shading Analysis
A good system starts with a layout that avoids shade and fits your roof. We model shading across the day and the seasons, then place panels and group strings to hold output. See solar system design and shading analysis.
Panels and Inverter
- Panels: we compare wattage, cell type, efficiency and warranty. See choosing solar panels.
- Inverter: we choose between string inverters, micro-inverters and power optimisers, and between standard and hybrid models. See choosing a solar inverter.
If your older inverter has stopped working, read about an inverter that failed on an older solar system.
Mounting, Cabling and Switchboard
We fix panels with wind-rated mounting suited to your roof, run labelled DC cabling with isolators, and earth the system. If your switchboard cannot take solar, we upgrade it and fit safety switches. See switchboard upgrades and safety switches, or read about a switchboard that is too old for solar.
Network Connection and Commissioning
Your electricity distributor must approve your system, and a bidirectional meter measures what you export. We lodge the application, coordinate the meter, test the system and issue your Certificate of Electrical Safety. See network connection, smart meters and commissioning.
Protecting Your System
- Birds and critters: we fit mesh around the panels to stop nesting. See solar panel bird mesh installation, or read about birds nesting under your solar panels.
- Storms and hail: we inspect panels, mounting and cabling, and write a report for your insurer. Read about solar panels damaged by hail or storms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which inverter is best for my roof?
It depends on shading and layout. A string inverter suits a clear roof, and micro-inverters or optimisers suit a shaded or split roof.
Do I need a new switchboard?
Only if yours cannot take the new circuit or lacks safety switches. We check it during the assessment.
What do I receive when the job is done?
Your warranties, Certificate of Electrical Safety, system details and monitoring set-up.
