What we do here

Solar, battery and off-grid work around Pokolbin

Off-Grid Systems

Standalone power for properties beyond the grid. We design and install systems that run a whole homestead — pumps, welders, fridges, freezers — through the worst week of weather, with generator backup to fill the gaps.

Batteries

Use your own solar after sundown and ride out the next outage without missing a beat. Tesla, Sungrow, BYD, Deye and Fox ESS — sized against your actual usage pattern, not a brochure number.

Residential Systems

Grid-tied solar with a battery for self-consumption and outage backup. The default for new Hunter Valley homes — sized against your own usage so the system pays for itself on the power you actually use.

EV Charging Systems

Charge your EV from your own roof. We size your solar to comfortably cover daily driving on top of household load, install OCPP-compliant wall chargers (Porsche, Tesla, generic Type 2), and tie the charger into your existing inverter monitoring.

Local notes

What Pokolbin jobs usually look like

Wineries and cellar doors run big daytime loads: refrigeration, pumps, kitchens, air-conditioned tasting rooms. That's what solar is good at, and a battery keeps the essentials running through an outage during vintage.

Cabins, glamping sites and guest houses across Pokolbin, Lovedale and Mount View are often a long way from the nearest pole. A standalone system with generator backup gives guests reliable power without paying for a network extension.

Rural homes on Mount View, Broke Road and out towards Millfield are a mix of grid-connected solar and batteries and full off-grid systems, depending on how far away the network is.

Questions

Working with us in Pokolbin

Do you actually come out to Pokolbin?

Yes. We work across Pokolbin and the surrounding area. Site visits are done in person by one of the family, not a salesperson, and the same crew does the install.

Do you do both off-grid and grid-connected work in Pokolbin?

Yes. We're SAA accredited for grid-connected solar, battery storage and stand-alone power systems, so whether you're on the network or a long way from it, one design and one crew covers it. Everything is quoted in writing before we start.

What happens if something goes wrong later?

You call the same number and speak to the same people who installed it. We support what we install for the life of the system, and we'll tell you straight what's wrong and what it'll take to fix.

Do you service systems you didn't install?

Yes. If you've got an existing system in Pokolbin that's underperforming or out of warranty support, we'll service it, repair it, or tell you honestly when it's time to replace it.
