Solar & batteries in Lochinvar

Lochinvar is an interesting mix: old village homes and rural properties alongside new estate housing spreading out from the New England Highway. The two need quite different approaches. On the rural blocks it is about sizing for sheds, pumps and outages; on the newer estate homes it is about getting a full system on a clean roof and storing what the family does not use during the day.

What matters in Lochinvar

  • Rural properties around Lochinvar have real daytime loads — pumps, sheds, workshops — which solar covers well without needing storage to justify it.
  • Outages carry more weight out here, so backup circuits and battery capacity are worth planning rather than defaulting.
  • Newer estate homes have modern switchboards and simple roofs, so batteries usually go in without remedial electrical work.
  • Older village houses are the opposite — we assess the switchboard during the quote so nothing is a surprise.
  • About 40 minutes from the workshop, and we are through Maitland most weeks.

Worth reading first

“Alex and his team were amazing. We had lots of headaches with shonky work from previous installers and Alex came in and resolved all the issues. He also took the time to explain everything to me, answer all my questions and then he delivered. Not just a salesman, but a really nice guy wanting to build a genuinely good service.”
