Charlie Sparks installs solar across Norwest NSW 2153, from the offices and commercial buildings of Norwest Business Park to the apartments near Norwest Marketown and the residential streets on the edges of the suburb. Norwest has been its own suburb of The Hills Shire since 2018.
Most roofs here belong to a company, a landlord or an owners corporation, not a single household. That changes the job. Someone has to assess the roof, model the savings and steer the proposal through the people who need to approve it. We do all three.
Air conditioning, lighting, lifts and IT run through the day, in step with solar generation. Supplying part of that load from the roof reduces energy bills for owners, tenants or the owners corporation.
Eligible systems attract STC incentives that reduce the capital cost, and we factor them into the proposal and lodge the claim. For larger systems we explain how the applicable certificate scheme works.
Solar on a strata building can power common areas such as car park lighting, lifts and pool pumps. Cutting those costs helps keep levies down, which benefits every owner in the scheme.
Solar gives a business or building a measurable reduction in emissions. The monitoring data can be used in sustainability reporting and helps demonstrate environmental commitments to staff and clients.
Commercial and strata projects involve more people and more paperwork. Our process is built to keep them moving.
Landlords, tenants, strata committees and building managers all have a say. We provide the drawings, insurance details and financial figures each party needs, and attend meetings to answer questions if asked.
All installers are Clean Energy Council accredited, and our commercial work follows AS/NZS 5033 and AS/NZS 4777. You receive full compliance documentation for your building and insurance records.
Working on commercial roofs requires proper planning. We prepare safe work method statements, coordinate inductions and access with building management, and arrange Endeavour Energy approval before work starts.
Our team includes NSW licensed electricians and CEC accredited installers. We hold public liability and workers compensation insurance and can supply certificates of currency.
We specify Tier 1 panels and inverters from SolarEdge, Sungrow, Fronius and GoodWe. These are widely used in commercial projects and supported by Australian warranty teams.
Our proposals are based on a site inspection and fix the price for the defined scope. Any variation is discussed and agreed with you in writing before it is carried out.
We keep to the agreed schedule, follow site rules, keep work areas safe and clean, and hand over a system that is fully tested and properly documented for your records.
Norwest is at the commercial heart of the area we service across The Hills District. We also install solar in neighbouring Bella Vista, Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill and Kellyville, as well as the suburbs listed below.
It depends on the size. A small office system can be installed in a day or two, while larger rooftops are completed in stages over a week or more. Residential installs usually take a day. The proposal includes a schedule agreed with you.
Yes. The owners corporation needs to approve it, usually by resolution at a general meeting. Solar is most often connected to the common area supply. We prepare the proposal, the figures and the technical details the committee and owners need to make a decision.
Possibly. It requires the consent of the landlord, and the benefit depends on how long is left on your lease and who pays the power bill. We can prepare a proposal that shows the value to both tenant and landlord to support that conversation.
It varies with your tariff, your daytime usage and the size of the system. Businesses that use most of their solar on site generally see the best return. We calculate projected savings and payback from your interval data and include them in the proposal.
Yes. Our installers hold Clean Energy Council accreditation. Panels come with a 25-year performance warranty and ten to fifteen years on the product, and inverters with five to ten years, extendable on some models. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation.
