Solar Panel Installation
Looking to go solar? I partner with CEC-accredited installers to deliver complete solar systems. I handle the electrical side - switchboard upgrades, grid connection prep, and ongoing support.
Partner-Delivered Service
Solar PV installation requires CEC (Clean Energy Council) accreditation. I work with accredited solar installers who handle the panels and inverter, while I take care of the electrical infrastructure - switchboard upgrades, metering, and any electrical work your home needs to be solar-ready.
What I Handle (Electrical Infrastructure)
Switchboard Assessment
I check if your existing switchboard can handle solar. Older boards often need upgrading before solar can be installed.
Switchboard Upgrades
If your board needs upgrading, I handle that. New boards with room for solar, battery, and future expansion.
Metering Preparation
Getting your metering ready for solar export. Coordination with Western Power for meter changes.
Earthing & Protection
Solar systems need proper earthing and surge protection. I ensure your electrical system is ready.
Post-Install Support
After your solar is installed, I am your local sparkie for any electrical issues or additions.
EV Charger Integration
Planning solar with an EV charger? I design the electrical system to handle both efficiently.
Why the Partner Approach?
CEC Accreditation Required
To design and install grid-connected solar systems, you need CEC accreditation. This is separate from an electrical licence. My partners have both the accreditation and the experience to design systems that actually perform.
Rebates Require Accreditation
To claim STCs (the solar rebate), the installation must be done by a CEC-accredited installer. Using non-accredited installers means missing out on thousands in rebates.
Local Support After Install
The benefit of going through me? You have a local electrician for ongoing support. Inverter issues, switchboard problems, adding battery later - I am here for the long term.
Interested in Solar?
Give me a call and I will assess your switchboard, discuss your needs, and connect you with the right solar installer for your situation.
