What the client needed

Carl wanted a solar system that would accompany their high end home on the Esplanade in Torquay. Winki designed an Enphase solar system with micro inverters so he could have individual panel monitoring. He also requested a battery and we recommended a Tesla due to its reliability and function of supplying power during a blackout.


Our objectives

Being a new build planning was integral to ensure the system was installed correctly. Stage one onvilved running the cabling while the build was at frame stage. Stage two was installing the panels once th eroof sheets went on. The final stage was installing the Tesla battery and commissioning the entire system oce the power went on.

The system we designed & installed

13.65kW Hyundai Solar panels each with an Enphase micro inverter. 13.5kWh of battery storage with a Tesla Powerwall 2 and backup of essential circuits for blackout protection. Black powder coated rails and protection boxes to match the black panel frames.

The final outcome

A beautiful high end system that will mitigate Carls reliability on the grid for power. It will minimise his electricity bills and allow him to continue to use power if there is ever a grid outage in Torquay. All this whilst reducing their personal carbon footprint.

Answers To The Most Common Residential Solar Questions

How do I know if my home is suitable for solar?

If you have a roof with good sun exposure (ideally north-facing), minimal shading, and use a fair amount of electricity during the day, solar is likely a great fit. We’ll assess your property to confirm suitability.

A solar battery stores the excess energy your panels generate during the day so you can use it at night or during power outages. It’s ideal if you want energy independence, more savings, or backup power.

 

Prices vary based on system size and brands chosen. As a guide, a 6.6kW system without battery starts around $4,000–$6,000 (after rebates), while adding a battery like Tesla Powerwall may bring the total to $12,000–$15,000. We’ll tailor a quote to your needs.

Yes! Most systems are battery-ready, and we can retrofit a compatible battery to your current setup after assessing your inverter and panel configuration.

Most batteries have a warranty of 10 years and a lifespan of 10–15 years. Brands like Tesla and Sonnen offer high-quality, long-lasting solutions with strong performance guarantees.
