How much energy do I need for my off-grid home? Each home has its own unique energy requirement so there is no such thing as a one size fits all off-grid solar power system. As a rule of thumb most suburban homes connected to the energy grid use between 12 and 15kWhs...

Recently Sun Works put a 5 kW Fronius inverter and 20 REC panels on our house. This was recommended after a site visit and various options were canvassed. Within a week of this visit the work was done – old panels removed, new ones put up and the inverter connected to our supplier. Paperwork took five minutes and our iPad app was connected to the inverter so we could be gratified about what we we making each day. None of this would be possible without Sun Works great team – Mike, Peter and Wayne, not forgetting their hardworking panel installers crawling over and under the roof. Each man is a expert and a pleasure to deal with personally, by email or on the phone. You might think all this ‘over the top’ but this is the third house Sun Works have done for us. This speaks volumes for these men and their company – 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Thank you once again!
Online, via phone and face to face I spoke with a lot of solar providers before settling on SunWorks. I spent a lot of time trying to pin down exactly which combination of inverter, panels, etc made the most sense for us. After a fortnight I realised that Mike had suggested on day one the exact set-up that it took me 2 weeks to piece together. A further two weeks and everything is in place and singing: utterly professional, friendly and the most price competitive (frankly he didn’t need to be). Recommend highly and without reservation. Thank you Mike and the team at SunWorks.
