OPENSOLAR DESIGN & HOME SURVEYS

Expert design. Maximum potential.

Your solar journey starts with understanding your property — not selecting a standard bundle from a price list.

A SMARTER WAY TO DESIGN

See the thinking behind your solar system.

We use OpenSolar as part of our design and proposal process to model suitable panel placement and estimate generation for your property. A well-considered design also reflects your household consumption, potential battery storage and plans for future changes.

The example alongside is a conceptual illustration of a design dashboard, not a live OpenSolar screenshot or an actual customer's performance forecast.

  • Property and roof layout assessment
  • Orientation, tilt and shading considerations
  • Equipment sizing and electrical compatibility
  • Generation modelling and system presentation

BUILT AROUND YOUR GOALS

Today's system. Tomorrow's possibilities.

Some homeowners prioritise reducing daytime grid imports. Others want more evening battery use, future EV charging or a system with scope for later upgrades.

We explain the trade-offs, including when adding extra panels or battery capacity may not deliver the expected benefit.
