Charlie Sparks installs solar across Nelson NSW 2765, on properties along Nelson Road and the lanes running off it. Home to only a few hundred people, this part of The Hills Shire has kept its semi-rural feel while new estates have grown up next door in Box Hill and Gables.
Bigger blocks usually mean bigger roofs, and often a shed that is used for more than storage. If you run tools, a compressor or a small business from the property, your daytime usage will be higher than a typical home, and solar can be sized to match.
Solar supplies the house and the workshop at the same time. Tools, air conditioning and pool equipment used in daylight run largely on your own power, which shows up as a smaller bill each quarter.
If your system is eligible, the federal STC rebate is deducted from the quote before you pay. We do the paperwork. For anyone adding storage, we also look into the battery incentives that are available.
A large roof means you are not locked into a small system. We can install what you need now and leave space and inverter capacity for more panels, a battery or an EV charger later on.
Using solar for a home and workshop reduces the grid electricity you rely on and the emissions that go with it. It is a practical step that keeps paying off for as long as the system runs.
Four stages, clearly explained, with one team responsible from beginning to end.
Sheds, sub-boards and three-phase supply all need to be understood before solar is added. Because we are electricians as well as solar installers, we assess the whole installation and design to suit it.
Clean Energy Council accreditation is carried by each installer on your job, and without it the STC rebate cannot be claimed. Our work is built to the AS/NZS 5033 and 4777 standards, with a compliance certificate issued.
The grid connection application is lodged by us, and we check whether The Hills Shire Council needs anything for your site. Later servicing is done by the same people, so responsibility never shifts.
Qualified electricians with NSW licences work alongside CEC accredited solar installers on our jobs. Workers compensation and public liability policies are held for each one.
Tier 1 panels and inverters by Fronius, Sungrow, GoodWe and SolarEdge are our standard. They perform well over time and come with warranty support in Australia.
We check the roof, switchboard and any shed cabling before quoting. The price you receive covers the complete job and stays the same from acceptance to handover.
Panels are lined up, cables are fixed and protected, roof penetrations are sealed and boards are labelled. We clean up and take our rubbish when we go.
Beyond Nelson, our team works throughout The Hills District. That includes next-door Box Hill, Maraylya, Kenthurst and Rouse Hill, along with every suburb shown underneath.
A day for most homes. If panels are going on a shed as well, or a battery is included, it can take two. We give you the expected timeframe with your quote and confirm the date before we start.
Yes. Solar feeds your switchboard, so anything connected to it can use the power. Machines with large motors draw a lot when they start, and the grid covers that peak. We size the system for your typical daytime usage and check your supply can handle the equipment.
Whichever gives the best result. A shed often has a large, simple roof, but it may be further from the meter. We compare the output and cabling cost of each and recommend one, or a split across both if that works better.
Not always, but it helps. Single-phase connections have lower limits on inverter size and export. If you already have three-phase, a larger system is easier to approve. We check your supply at the site visit and explain what is possible.
The rebate comes off the quoted price and we take care of lodging it, which we can do because every installer is accredited by the Clean Energy Council. On warranties, panels are backed for 25 years of output and ten to fifteen years against defects, inverters for five to ten years, and our labour is guaranteed separately.
