Solar Installation Wingham

It is ten kilometres upriver of Taree, a town built on timber and dairy with a housing stock to match. Older homes here often need switchboard and metering work alongside the panels, and knowing that before we quote is what keeps the price on the quote the price you pay.

Wingham has a good deal of older housing, including weatherboard and fibro homes that have been added to over the years. Those properties take solar comfortably, but the electrical side needs attention first. The switchboard, the main switch, the earthing and the meter all get checked at the quote stage so nothing turns up as a surprise on installation day.

Newer estates on the edge of town are a different proposition. Larger, simpler roofs, three-phase supply in some cases and modern switchboards mean a bigger array goes up quickly, and there is usually a clean wall for a battery. Either way, the design comes from your consumption rather than from a package size.

The company has over twenty years of installs behind it and more than five thousand systems completed. Our own licensed team does every job, we lodge the Essential Energy connection application, and the federal solar rebate is claimed by us and taken off the quote. Panel options run to Trina, Jinko, REC and Tindo, matched to a Fronius, Sungrow, GoodWe, Sigenergy or SMA inverter.

Fibro roofs and older tin need a light touch. The sheeting and the framing get assessed before a mounting system is chosen, and on asbestos cement roofing we work to the correct handling requirements rather than drilling and hoping. If a roof is genuinely past it, we will tell you to deal with that first.

Wingham also has a lot of systems that went up in the early years of rooftop solar. Small arrays, ageing inverters and no storage at all. Upgrading is usually the better value: keep the panels if they still test well, replace the inverter with a hybrid unit and add a battery so the evening load comes off your own roof instead of the grid. We test the array first and tell you what it is genuinely still producing.

Farming operations around Wingham are close to an ideal solar customer. Milking, refrigeration, water pumping and workshop gear all run in daylight, and the loads are steady rather than spiky. A high share of what the array makes therefore gets used on site.

Shed roofs are usually the best mounting position available. They are large, simply framed and rarely shaded by anything. The structure and the wind rating get checked first, then the array and the cable run back to the main switchboard are designed so voltage drop stays inside its limits.

Three-phase supply is common on farms, which opens up larger inverters and better balance across the phases. Commercial-scale systems are part of what we do, and the network application for a larger connection is handled the same way it is for a house.

The residential packages below suit most homes here. Farms and commercial buildings need a design of their own, and we are happy to put one together and price it.

At SolaXs, we work with only the most trusted and reliable solar brands in Australia to deliver high-performance systems that last. By partnering with industry-leading manufacturers, we ensure every component of your solar system is built to withstand Australia’s tough climate while delivering optimal efficiency and reliability.
