Blairgowrie, VIC

Ewan didn’t have the perfect roof. He didn’t need one. Now it carries 12.825 kW.

A Klip-Lok roof under Peninsula scrub is the kind of job other installers talk you out of.

Ewan’s Blairgowrie home sits under Peninsula scrub on a Klip-Lok tin roof that catches little of the low winter sun. Powerband Electrical lifted the array onto tilt frames to angle it back into the light: 27 Jinko Tiger Neo III panels, a Sigenergy SigenStor inverter and three battery modules on the garage brick wall. A 7 kW Sigen charger went in at the same time, ready for an EV whenever he wants one, with the Solar Victoria rebate handled for him.

★★★★★ Google review

A great experience from the initial meeting with Trent to the installation team (Liam, Petrus etc), arrived on time and completed the job same day and cleaned up and put back our items back in the garage… After install check in from both Trent and Allison with offer to assist further. The app is very useful and the system is working very well, thanks to the Powerband team.
