Solar & batteries in Shortland
Shortland sits between the wetlands and the university, and the housing is largely post-war brick on decent blocks. The roofs are simple and generous, which is the best combination there is for solar — clean runs, few obstructions, and room for a system that actually covers the household.
What matters in Shortland
- Straightforward hip and gable roofs with good north faces, so arrays go on efficiently and cheaply.
- Block sizes allow full-size systems rather than the compromises the inner suburbs force.
- Plenty of rentals and owner-occupiers upgrading old 3kW and 5kW systems — we replace inverters and add storage without starting over.
- Ausgrid network, standard export limits, all paperwork handled here.
- Fifteen minutes from Hamilton North.

“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.”
