New builds fitted out before the removalist arrives, and established estate homes getting the system the builder left off. Jinko panels, Sigenergy and GoodWe storage, three-phase EV charging where the house has it, all installed by our own A-Grade electricians.
Clyde North barely existed fifteen years ago. Nearly every house between Thompsons Road and the newest stages out past Berwick Waters and St Germain has been built since about 2012, and plenty are still going up. That makes our work here unlike the older suburbs. There is no tired switchboard to replace and no thirty-year-old tile to walk on. The board is modern, the garage is attached, and quite often the owner has not moved in yet.
Four of the five Clyde North systems we have written up went onto new homes, and two of those were finished as part of the build handover, so the house was making and storing its own power from the first night. Sizes ran from 9.025kW to 19kW, every one with a battery of 24kWh or more, and two with a 22kW three-phase EV charger. In the streets built without a gas connection the whole house is on the electricity meter, which is exactly the load a battery is there for.
The roofs are the design problem. A double-storey home on a small lot has a roof cut into several short faces, and a single-storey one often gives up its best face to the garage. We lay the panels out face by face before settling on a size, and we check whether the supply is single or three-phase, because Clyde North has both. The rest of what we do locally is on the Clyde North page.
What goes on the roof, on the garage wall and beside the car in a typical Clyde North job.
Jinko Tiger Neo and Aiko panels, set out to suit Colorbond or tile and the number of faces the builder gave you. Two of our Clyde North arrays are 25 panels over two roof planes. The largest is 40 panels on one home.
Sigenergy SigenStor is what most Clyde North owners have chosen, with GoodWe, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow also available. It mounts on the garage brickwork or an outside wall near the meter box, with bollards where a car pulls in next to it.
Where the house has three-phase supply we fit a three-phase hybrid inverter and can add a charger of up to 22kW. On single-phase homes a 7kW charger does the job. Sigenergy, GoodWe and Tesla Wall Connector chargers, set to take surplus solar first.
If you are still building, we work from the plans and book the install around the handover date. Panels, inverter, battery and charger go in together and the paperwork is lodged ahead of time, so nothing is left to organise after you move.
The full range is on our products page.
Tier-one panels with 25-year performance warranties, laid out for the roof faces you have.
Hybrid and string inverters, chosen so a battery can join the system now or later.
Home batteries sized to the evening peak, with backup circuits set up for outages.
Home chargers wired into the same system and set to charge from your solar first.
All three are in Clyde North. Open any card for the specification and what the owner said afterwards.
Forty Jinko Tiger Neo III panels, a Sigenergy home energy system with 27kWh of storage and a 22kW three-phase EV charger, all finished as part of the build handover before the owner had moved a box in.
Twenty-five Jinko Tiger Neo panels over two roof planes on a new build, feeding a three-phase SigenStor inverter and three battery modules on the brick wall.
Nineteen Jinko panels on a tin roof with a single-phase Hiconics inverter and six battery modules in the garage. A smaller array with a large battery, installed as part of the build.
The same five steps whether you have lived there for years or the slab has only just been poured.
For a finished home we walk the roof, garage and meter box. For a build in progress we start from the roof plan and electrical layout.
Single or three-phase decides the inverter, how much can be exported and how fast a car can charge. We check before we design.
One after-rebate price for panels, battery and charger. One Clyde North owner reworked his configuration several times before signing. That is what the quote stage is for.
Network connection, Solar Victoria eligibility for the panels and the federal discounts are all handled by our office.
Our own crew fits everything, tests the backup circuits, sets the charger to solar mode and issues the Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Three of our five written-up Clyde North jobs had the Solar Victoria rebate applied and two did not. The quote shows which side of that line you are on.
Cheaper Home Batteries takes around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test. With the battery sizes Clyde North households choose, it matters more than any other item on the quote.
Available to eligible owner-occupiers for solar panels and the inverter, including on a newly built home. It does not extend to batteries: the Solar Victoria battery rebate and battery loan both closed in 2025.
Small-scale technology certificates apply to the solar panels and are deducted at the point of sale, so the figure you see has them taken off already.
About half an hour from our Somerville depot, and a suburb we have been on the roofs of since the estates opened.
Two of our Clyde North systems were commissioned as the house was handed over. We know how to fit around a builder and a settlement date.
Three-phase inverters and 22kW chargers are on two of the local jobs. We confirm the supply first so the design is right the first time.
A-Grade electricians on our payroll, SAA accredited, New Energy Tech Approved Seller. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor.
When the gas heater is next, the same company installs the replacement, so the solar is sized with it in mind. See heating and cooling in Clyde North.
Live Google reviews. Look for the Sigenergy, GoodWe and Powerwall jobs.
Still unsure? Ring 0466 355 441 and talk it through with an electrician.
Yes. We quote from the plans, lodge the approvals early and book the install for handover. Two of the Clyde North jobs on this page were done that way.
The meter box tells us in a minute. Some Clyde North homes were built with three-phase and many were not. It affects the inverter, the export limit and whether a 22kW charger is possible, so we confirm it before quoting.
The five local systems we have written up carry 24.18kWh, 24.18kWh, 27kWh, 30.6kWh and 36.16kWh. Families with an EV and evening cooling tend to land at the upper end. We size from your own usage, not from an average.
Usually. A cut-up roof needs a careful layout, with each face wired so a shaded section does not hold back the others. We draw it up and show you the panel count before you commit.
Yes. The charger is wired into the same system as the inverter and battery and set to charge from surplus solar first. You can switch it to full speed from the grid when you need the car quickly.
It can be, for the solar panels and inverter, if you are an eligible owner-occupier. Two of our Clyde North handover jobs had it applied. It does not cover the battery, which gets the federal discount.
Send us the address or the house plans. We come back with the panel layout, battery and charger options and one after-rebate price. No obligation.
