We quote it. We install it.

The people who quote you are the people on the roof.

A typical Echuca family bill of $780 a quarter is a 10 kW job — about $2,800–$3,800 off the year. Lachlan Stacey and the crew quote it and install it. REC 3023 · SAA accredited · CoES on every job.

Thirty-second estimate

What do you pay each quarter?

We strip the supply charge, invert at 32 c/kWh, and land a zone-3 array. Then nine questions if you want a quote we can actually work from.

Certificates, not a countdown clock

PV deeming is five years in 2026. Four from 1 January 2027.

Nobody is switching the scheme off next week. What is true: each year the federal STCs on a new array shrink. Battery discount already tapers after 14 kWh. Waiting does not beat that maths. We write the certificates on the invoice.

The work

Solar and batteries. Same crew on the board.

That is the work people come here for. We started as A-grade electricians — so the switchboard is on the quote, not a surprise after the panels go down.

Solar & batteries

Nine-step builder. We install what we quote.

Home batteries

GoodWe ESA on the wall. BYD and Sigenergy if the house needs a different stack.

Heat pumps

Hot water with VEECs. Often the first electrify job.

Air-conditioning

Sized so a 40-degree Kyabram afternoon still feels quiet inside.

Community

Fourteen CLRS homes. $50,000 raised. We still turn up after the photo.

Switchboards

Typical Echuca weatherboard $1,200–$2,200. CoES.

Farm machinery shed with a full rooftop solar array

Farms and sheds

Send a summer bill. We’ll map the pumps.

Three-phase, irrigation, cold rooms. Solar on a shed is a load conversation, not a catalogue pack.

Farm intake

Commercial electrical cabling on a fit-out

Shops, pubs, plant

Power that does not interrupt trade.

Fit-outs, three-phase, lighting, staff EV. Scheduled around your hours — not a Saturday surprise. Same crew who do the houses.

Starting packs

Four sizes. The visit confirms the board.

Named locals. Named jobs. Not a 5-star widget.

Small towns convert on a name, a suburb and a kW — not a badge. These are people we actually put panels and boards on.

After dark

The bill drops at tea time, not just at midday.

Feed-in is 6 c. The house still draws 32 c after 5 pm. A 14 kWh battery is the first band of the federal discount — that is why we size storage to the evening, not the empty roof.

How people actually pay

Cash, a loan, or NSW finance if you qualify.

The #1 stall is money. We put the path on the quote so nobody is left guessing at the kitchen table.

Pay the invoice

Most jobs. Deposit to lock stock, balance on commissioning. Price holds 14 days.

Bank or green loan

Your lender. We give you a written quote they can actually read — STCs already assigned.

NSW interest-free

Moama, Deniliquin, Mathoura, Barham, Finley — where you qualify. Confirmed on the quote. We do not advertise $0-upfront we cannot honour.

Neighbours close neighbours

Refer a house. You both get $500 off solar and battery.

Battery-only is $250 each. Mention the name when they enquire. This is how most of our work arrives — not ads.

The gateway job

Ceramic fuses will not carry a solar array.

Drag the handle. Left is what we still open on Echuca weatherboards. Right is what actually takes an inverter, a battery and a wallbox — labelled, RCD-protected, Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion.

Typical upgrade $1,200–$2,200 including inspector and prescribed CoES. Power stays off until the inspector signs. It is not in the solar range above.
