Solar & Batteries on the Central Coast
Out all day and home in the evening? Most Central Coast homes use their power after the sun goes down. A battery lets you keep your solar for then.
Solar on the Central Coast
From Gosford to the lakes, here is what we plan for.
Busy evenings
Homes that are empty during the day use most of their power at night. A battery stores your midday solar for the evening.
Trees and shade
Tall trees and bushland can shade a roof for part of the day. We check the shading and place the panels to suit.
Coastal homes
Close to the water we use mounting and fittings suited to salty air.
Ausgrid
The Central Coast is on the Ausgrid network. We handle your connection application with them.

Common Questions
Is a battery worth it if I'm out all day?
Often, yes. If you're away during the day, most of your solar would go to the grid for a few cents. A battery keeps it for the evening, when power costs the most.
My roof gets some shade. Can I still get solar?
Usually. We check where the shade falls through the day and design around it, with panels placed where they get the most sun.
Which network connects the Central Coast?
Ausgrid. We apply to connect your system for you.
