Solar & Battery Storage
Solar
We supply JA Solar 475W solar panels.
The JA Solar 475W module (typically model JAM54D40-475/LR) is widely regarded as a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performing option for rooftop systems in Australia. It is a high-efficiency N-type monofacial or bifacial solar panel utilising 108 half-cut cells with Double Glass technology.
Known for its 25-year product warranty and 30-year linear power warranty, it delivers superior performance in low-light conditions and features a sleek black frame ideal for residential and commercial rooftops.

Solar Batteries
Solar Batteries
Our 40-50 kW battery storage system with 5-15 kW inverters is available with rebates and is fully integrated with your solar power systems. It features AC & DC-coupled hybrid battery energy storage technology that replaces existing inverters with more powerful units, up to 15 kW, for faster charge rates.
Battery storage enables the retention of excess energy generated by renewable sources such as solar and wind, making these sources more reliable and predictable. This technology helps balance the intermittent nature of renewable energy with the consistent demand for electricity.
**Cost Savings:**
By storing energy when prices are low and utilising it during peak demand periods, battery storage can reduce energy costs for both consumers and utilities. This is especially advantageous for individuals with solar panels, as it allows them to use more of the energy they generate and reduces their dependence on the grid.
**Environmental Benefits:**
Battery storage decreases reliance on fossil fuels and contributes to a cleaner energy system. Facilitating increased integration of renewable energy helps lower carbon emissions and combat climate change.
Solar Hot Water
Solar Batteries
Solar hot water is usually thought about in terms of solar panels on a roof. However, a heat pump absorbs solar air energy from the air. The air is heated by the sun, of course, and even in freezing conditions, a heat pump can absorb solar-heated air.
Furthermore, by aligning heat pump activation with solar production, your energy-efficient heat pump technology helps keep your hot water costs minimal or free.
A solar heat pump system merges PV solar panels with an air-source heat pump to provide highly efficient, renewable heating for homes and water. By using solar-generated electricity to power the heat pump's compression cycle, these systems drastically reduce energy bills, often allowing daytime operation using free solar energy to maximise savings
Heating & Cooling
Our consultations will determine if you can access discounts that lower the cost of installing the new energy-efficient air conditioner, when we upgrade the old one with a more efficient model.
Upgrading to a more energy-efficient air conditioner can help you:
- save money on your power bills in the long-term by using less energy to heat and cool your home or business
- reduce maintenance costs with newer systems that are more efficient and reliable
- reduce your emissions and be an active part of helping NSW reach net zero by 2050.
How you can save money on a new air conditioner?
The air conditioning rebate is provided as an upfront discount in the quote provided to you for the installation of a new high efficiency air conditioner. During the initial consultation we will confirm If you’re eligible, and advise on the discounts which can range between:
- $340 and $560 if you install a new 6kWh air conditioner system
- $440 and $730 if you replace an old air conditioner with a 6kw split system.
Hydronic heating
Hydronic heating: To understand if your hydronic project is suitable for a heat pump, we have found the first thing a client needs to understand is the difference between a hydronic heat pump and a domestic hot water heat pump. Domestic hot water heat pump range from 2.5 to 3.8 kW in size.
To ensure fast recovery rates (time to heat the water) you should always select the most powerful and efficient heat pump water heater. Many heat pump water heaters use small 2 kW to 2.5 kW rated compressors which may require boosting in Winter. So you need to consider the cold weather performance.
Cold weather performance is especially important if your considering a combined hot water, heating and cooling system. We find that the average Australian home requires around 15 kW to 20kWs. In Europe they normally only require around 6kW's as the homes are much better insulated and tend to be smaller with less open planned rooms.
Another important aspect of a hydronic heat pump is that it is built and designed to operate in winter conditions at negative temperatures. Some heat pumps won’t generate hot water when the temperature gets below -5C.
