Battery and solar panel installation in Flagstaff Hill

We installed solar with Tigo optimisers and a whole-home backup battery for a large, multi-level Flagstaff Hill home shared by two families. The roof had several sections facing different ways with patchy shade, so the design had to work around it.

  • Home: Large multi-level, two families
  • Solar: Rooftop, across several roof sections

The short answer

NG Elec installed rooftop solar with Tigo optimisers and a whole-home backup battery on a large multi-level home in Flagstaff Hill shared by two families. The optimisers let each panel work on its own across roof sections with different angles and shade, and the battery stores solar for the evening and backs up the whole home in a blackout.

The job

Brief, build, result.

The brief

Two families under one roof means high power use from morning to night, and the owners wanted to soften the impact of rising bills.

The home is multi-level with several roof sections, each with a different direction, tilt and amount of shade. They also wanted the whole house covered in a blackout, not just a few circuits.

What we did

We assessed each roof section and designed a layout to suit it. Tigo optimisers let every panel run independently, so shade on one doesn't pull down the others.

We added a battery set up for whole-home backup, then tested and commissioned everything before handover.

The result: The home now leans less on the grid, the optimisers limit how much shade on one section affects the rest, and both families have backup when the power drops out. Got a complex roof or worried about blackouts? See our solar battery and residential solar services.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

Can solar work on a shaded or split roof?

Yes, with the right design. Optimisers like Tigo let each panel work on its own, so shade or a different angle on one section has less effect on the rest.

What is whole-home backup?

It means the battery is wired to run the whole house during a blackout rather than a few selected circuits. How long it lasts depends on battery size and what you're running.

Do you install solar and batteries in Flagstaff Hill?

Yes. Flagstaff Hill is a short drive from our Hackham base, and we service all of South Australia.
