Solar for new builds
The cheapest time to get solar right is before the plaster goes up. Because we're an electrical contractor as well as a solar installer, we plan the switchboard, cabling, solar and battery together from the drawings.
Who it's for
- Builders and developers who want one contractor for electrical and solar
- Owners building a new home who want solar and battery-ready wiring from day one
Why us
- Planned from the drawings
- We design the solar, the switchboard and the cable routes together, so nothing is retrofitted later.
- Battery- and EV-ready
- Conduits and switchboard space for a future battery or EV charger go in during rough-in, when it costs the least.
- One licensed contractor
- We handle the electrical rough-in, fit-off, testing and certification, and the solar, all as one scope.
Working with builders
We've worked alongside builders on new homes for years. We handle the design and electrical installation, temporary supply applications, underground work, rough-in, fit-off, testing and certification through to handover.
Solar fits into the same schedule, so the roof, the switchboard and the paperwork line up.

Questions
When should solar be planned in a new build?
Ideally at the drawings stage, before rough-in. That's when cable routes, switchboard space and battery provisions cost the least to include.
Can you do the whole house electrical as well?
Yes. We're a licensed electrical contractor, so we can take on the full electrical scope alongside the solar.
