Solar Electrical Work
I'm not a solar installer, but I handle all the electrical work that goes alongside solar systems. Switchboard upgrades to accommodate solar, troubleshooting existing systems, preparing your home for battery storage, and the general electrical work that solar installers don't cover.
What I Handle
Many Morley homes getting solar quotes discover their switchboard needs upgrading first. The solar company might quote for the panels and inverter, but they'll tell you to sort out the switchboard separately. That's where I come in.
I also work on homes with existing solar systems that need electrical attention - maybe the inverter circuit needs repair, the export limiting isn't working right, or you're adding a battery and need the electrical infrastructure to support it.
And for general electrical work in homes with solar, I understand how solar systems interact with the rest of your electrical setup. Important when you're adding circuits or troubleshooting issues.
What I handle vs. what gets routed
I handle all electrical work under EC 9715 — switchboard upgrades, inverter circuits, battery preparation, fault finding. Solar PV panel installation requires CEC accreditation, which is routed to accredited partners. I can coordinate with your solar installer or recommend one if needed.

Common Questions
Do you install solar panels?
No. Solar PV installation requires CEC accreditation which I don't hold. I handle the electrical side — switchboard upgrades, inverter circuits, battery preparation — and can recommend accredited solar installers if you need one.
Can you fix my solar inverter?
I can diagnose and repair the electrical connections and circuits related to your inverter. For inverter faults that need manufacturer-specific repairs, you'll need the original installer or the inverter manufacturer's service network.
My solar company says I need a switchboard upgrade — can you do that?
Yes, this is common. Many older Morley switchboards need upgrading before solar can be installed. I'll check what your solar company requires and make sure your board is ready for the installation.
