Get familiar with the decisions that shape your energy system before you choose equipment.
Solar sizing
Start with your usage, then your roof. A larger array is not automatically the right answer. Consider shading, orientation, connection conditions and future demand.
Battery planning
Look at when you use electricity, existing equipment and the role you want storage to play. Backup needs a separate conversation.
Your consultation checklist
Prepare for your first conversation with a practical six-item checklist, a clear project brief and questions to take to your consultation.
