We design each setup to make the most of your roof space, location and energy habits. You may also earn credits by feeding unused energy back into the grid. With expert design, high-quality panels and local support, switching to solar in Grafton has never been simpler.

With local expertise and premium gear, we build off grid systems in Grafton that last.

We’ll recommend the best battery to match your system, budget and energy habits. Batteries are especially useful in areas with variable grid reliability or peak pricing. With expert advice and quality products, we make battery storage simple and worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size solar system do I need for my home?
The ideal solar system size depends on your household’s energy usage, roof size, and local climate. Most Australian homes benefit from a 6.6kW system, but smaller or larger options may be more suitable depending on your daily energy habits and whether you plan to add battery storage. Reviewing your electricity bills and considering any future energy needs can help determine the right system. A professional assessment can provide more accuracy based on your home’s orientation and shading.
Do solar panels work in cloudy or rainy weather?
Yes, solar panels can still generate power on cloudy or rainy days, although output will be reduced compared to clear, sunny conditions. Quality panels can produce around 10–25% of their typical output during overcast periods. This is enough to offset some energy usage, especially when paired with a battery storage system. In areas with frequent cloud cover, proper system design and panel placement are essential to maximise efficiency.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Most modern solar systems are battery-compatible, allowing homeowners to add energy storage later on. Adding a battery can help you store excess power generated during the day for use at night or during outages. If your system wasn’t initially designed for a battery, upgrades may be needed, such as a hybrid inverter or additional panels. Speak to a solar technician about your setup to determine compatibility and potential costs.
