Local knowledge

Solar on the hills face

Happy Valley sits on the hills face around the reservoir, with bigger blocks than most of the southern suburbs and plenty of established gum trees. That's great for living, but tall trees can shade part of a roof for some of the day.

We look at the shade before we design anything. Sometimes that means placing panels on the clearest faces, and sometimes optimisers help a shaded string. A well-planned solar system works with the trees rather than against them.

Being close to the hills, outages can happen in bushfire season and storms. A battery with backup keeps the fridge, lights and essentials running when the grid drops out. Setting your hot water to heat from solar in the middle of the day helps too.

September 2026

Recent job in Happy Valley

This household wanted to cover their own power use and stay running through outages. We installed 9.45 kW of AIKO panels on black mounting kits with a GoodWe inverter and 24 kWh of usable battery, mounted in the garage with bollards, and set it up for whole-home backup. A hot water controller now heats from 10am to 3pm off solar, and they used our $0 deposit option.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

Do you service Happy Valley?

Yes. Happy Valley is about 15 minutes from our Hackham workshop. We also cover Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill and the rest of the hills face.

My roof gets shade from gum trees. Is solar still worth it?

Often, yes. It depends how much shade, when in the day, and which roof faces are clear. We check it on site and may suggest optimisers for shaded panels. You'll see the design before you commit.

Will a battery keep my power on in a bushfire-season outage?

If it's set up for backup, yes, within the battery's capacity. Our recent Happy Valley job has whole-home backup. Others back up a few essential circuits. We'll explain the difference on your quote.

Can I add a battery to a small older system?

Usually. We've added a 16 kWh Sigenergy battery to a small 2.4 kW system in Happy Valley, with backup on four essential circuits and off-peak grid charging. More in adding a battery to existing solar.

What did your recent Happy Valley install include?

In September 2026 we fitted 9.45 kW of AIKO panels on black mounting kits, a GoodWe 10 kW inverter and a 24 kWh usable battery with whole-home backup. The battery went in the garage with bollards so the car can't bump it, and we set the hot water to heat from 10am to 3pm off the solar.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

No. We offer $0 deposit and flexible payment options, and every quote is free and itemised.
