What the client needed
A homeowner on Alfred Court, Ocean Grove, was looking to invest in a large-scale solar system that could deliver high energy output and smart functionality. The goal was to future-proof their home for battery storage or EV integration, while ensuring ongoing visibility into system performance. Winki Energy was tasked with designing a reliable, scalable solution with real-time monitoring and clean aesthetics.
Our objectives
The project required careful system design to:
• Fit a 12kW system on a single roofline without sacrificing efficiency.
• Maintain strong generation performance despite potential shading.
• Enable smart, remote monitoring for energy tracking and system diagnostics.
• Prepare the infrastructure for future upgrades like battery storage or EV charging.
The system we designed & installed
To meet the client’s needs, Winki Energy installed:
• 26 × 470W AIKO Solar Neostar 2P panels for premium performance and energy yield.
• 1 × Fronius Symo Advanced 12.5-3-M three-phase inverter, known for its durability and efficiency.
• Fronius IP Smart Meter to enable wireless performance monitoring through the solar web platform.
The panel layout was optimised for sunlight exposure using advanced modelling tools, ensuring top performance throughout the day while maintaining visual symmetry on the roof.
The final outcome
The completed system provides:
• 12.22kW of efficient renewable energy generation.
• Real-time wireless monitoring for instant insights and long-term energy management.
• Clean, professional visual finish with minimal roof clutter.
• Future-ready setup for battery storage or electric vehicle charging integration.
The homeowner was thrilled with the seamless installation and immediate access to performance metrics via the Fronius Solar.web dashboard—allowing for smarter, more sustainable energy use.
