Solar & batteries in Merewether

Merewether is a coastal suburb with a mix of grand older homes and heavily renovated cottages, and both bring their own quirks. Salt air is the constant: mounting hardware, fixings and cable management have to be specified for it or they will not see out the warranty. We have a finished job here you can look through.

What matters in Merewether

  • Salt exposure is the defining factor. We use coastal-rated rails and fixings and route cabling so it is not sitting in the weather.
  • Ocean-facing roofs often have the best pitch but the worst wind loading, so fixing spacing matters more here than inland.
  • Many Merewether homes have been extended two or three times, which means split roof faces and a switchboard that has been added to rather than replaced.
  • Evening loads are high in these households — the battery conversation is usually the productive one.
  • Ten minutes from the workshop at Hamilton North.

What we install in Merewether

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.
