Frequently Asked Questions

How often should solar panels be serviced?

Professional inspection annually, with cleaning every 6-12 months depending on location. Areas with high dust, bird activity, or near the coast may need more frequent cleaning.

For average Perth homes, 6.6kW systems suit most needs. We calculate based on your actual consumption, roof space, and budget to recommend the optimal size.

Can you add battery storage to existing solar?

Yes, we can retrofit battery storage to most existing solar systems. We’ll assess compatibility and recommend suitable battery options for your setup.

Do you handle Western Power approvals?

Absolutely. As an approved contractor, we manage all Western Power applications and ensure your installation meets their requirements.

How long does solar installation take?

Most residential installations complete in one day. Larger or complex systems may take 2-3 days. We’ll provide a clear timeline during quoting.

What warranties do you provide?

We offer 10-year workmanship warranty on installations. Solar panels typically have 25-year performance warranties, and inverters have 5-10 year manufacturer warranties.
