Local knowledge

Shade, bushfire season and older homes

Blackwood is leafy. Big gums and hilly blocks mean a lot of roofs get shade for part of the day, and it's often cooler and cloudier up here than on the plains. We map shade properly before designing, and use Tigo optimisers where some panels get shaded and others don't.

Much of the area is bushfire-prone, and summer outages are part of hills life. A battery with backup can keep the fridge, lights, water pump and internet going when the power drops out. We'll explain exactly which circuits stay on.

There are also plenty of older homes with older switchboards. Adding a battery, EV charger or more circuits often starts with a switchboard upgrade.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

Do you cover Blackwood and nearby suburbs?

Yes, including Belair, Eden Hills, Hawthorndene, Glenalta, Coromandel Valley and Craigburn Farm. We work Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

Is solar worth it if trees shade my Blackwood roof?

Often, yes. We map shade through the year, place panels where they'll produce and use optimisers where needed. If a system won't pay its way, we'll tell you.

Will a battery keep my power on in a blackout?

Many can, if the battery and inverter support backup and your board is set up for it. We'll show you which circuits are covered before you buy.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade first?

Not always. Older or full boards often do. We check it on the site visit and list any upgrade separately on your quote.

Do leaves and debris affect panels?

Yes. Leaf litter and grime in treed areas can shade cells and cut output. Periodic panel cleaning helps.

Can you install on a steep or split-level Blackwood block?

Yes. Lots of Blackwood homes sit on sloping blocks with split-level or two-storey roofs. We plan access, safety gear and cable runs at the site visit, and any extra time shows on your itemised quote rather than as a surprise on the day.
