Solar & batteries in Brandy Hill

Brandy Hill is acreage country above Seaham, and it is a different job to a suburban roof. Big houses, sheds, bores and pumps, and a network that goes down in storms more often than it does in town. We have a large battery and backup job finished here.

What matters in Brandy Hill

  • Acreage properties with sheds and pumps have serious daytime load, which lifts the return on a larger array.
  • Outages are frequent enough here that whole-home backup is a practical decision, not a luxury.
  • Roof and shed area is rarely the constraint — the design question is how much storage is worth it.
  • Essential Energy territory in parts of this area, which changes the approval path and export limits.
  • Around 40 minutes from the workshop, via Raymond Terrace.

What we install in Brandy Hill

Worth reading first

A great installation by great local installers. Alex and Ben designed and installed my system from scratch to a much older power board at my house. Despite the challenges presented by the old power system and a large barking dog, they got everything installed smoothly including totally replacing and upgrading my powerboard while they were at it. I know a few local solar companies, they all backed these guys as good. I picked these guys out of the bunch of trustworthy locals that stood out amongst the hundreds of fly-by-night mobs advertising everywhere. Easy to deal with, communicative and trustworthy, they even cleaned up the site as they left. Good operators, couldn't fault them and would recommend to anyone needing solar gear.
