Solar & Battery Installations

Our customer for this project wanted to be able reduce energy bills and grid dependence while still being able to heat and cool the home and charge an EV. So Driscoll Electrical got started designing a solid system with the ability to carry all the house loads during the day and still charge the battery and some spare to charge an EV.

• 19.35kW Solar: 44 x 440W Trina Vertex panels
• Sungrow 15kW Hybrid inverter
• 35kWh of Sungrow Battery Storage
• Schneider 3 Phase EV Charger
• Complete Switchboard rewire and upgrade
• Solar hot water timer - soaking up some excess solar during the middle of the day

Driscoll Electrical does its very best to ensure a positive installation process for each customer, some of the problem solving required for this project includes a complete Switchboard rewire, upgrade and concrete slab fixed to the house slab for the battery to sit safely and permanently, No pavers or bricks used that are likely to move and topple a battery in the next 2 - 3 years.

This install was part of a brand-new shed project for our client in Razorback.

Once the shed was complete, we stepped in to design and install a full solar and battery system to support the property’s energy needs.

• System Specs: 17.7kW Solar: 40 x Trina 440W Vertex panels
• Sungrow 10kW Hybrid Inverter
• 40kWh Sungrow Battery Storage

The result? A tidy, high-performance system capable of powering the property, significantly reduced reliance on the grid and some battery left over to push onto the grid during peak times for a profit.

Mega Watt project on Costco Lake Macquarie working with construction partner Energy Bay.

• 1.02 MW of Solar: 1,890 x 540W Sunpower P7 Panels.
• 820 kW of Inverters: 7 x 110kW + 1 x 50kW Sungrow Industrial inverters.
• 2 x Solar Distribution Boards.

This install was a part of an Australia wide solar roll out for Costco helping reduce Costco's Energy bills and carbon footprint.

Kuoch Chemist's at The Entrance, NSW.

• 40kW of Solar: 64 x 625W Trina Vertex panels
• 30kW of inverters including: 1 x 25kW Hybrid Sungrow inverter and 1 x 5kW Grid connected Sungrow inverter.
• 40kWh of Sungrow Battery Storage.
• Battery backup for Essential Circuits.

This install was designed with Kuoch Chemist's to gain control of their hefty energy bills, with an economical investment. 

We have achieved an 80% reduction in energy billing for the Kuoch's team, and a system payback period of only 2.5 years.
