What they asked for
The brief
A young family in a newer home with nothing on the roof. They were sick of rising power bills and didn't want to do solar now and battery later and pay for two lots of work.
They wanted it done once, done properly, with room to grow.
What we installed
Our solution
We installed 6.6kW of panels, a 10kVA hybrid inverter and 16.64kWh of battery storage in one go.
Why we did it this way
The thinking
Doing solar and battery together means one install, one lot of paperwork and both rebates sorted at the same time.
We went with a 10kVA inverter instead of the smallest one that would fit. It costs a little more today, but there's room to add more panels or battery as the family grows, without replacing the inverter.
There's real money on the table right now.

WA Energy Experts
Backed by experience. Driven by doing it right.
Redtail Energy was founded by Matthew, a Perth-based electrician who spent years working across some of WA's most respected solar businesses before deciding it was time to do things on his own terms.
Having worked at every level of the industry, from boots-on-the-roof installs through to operations and sales, Matthew saw firsthand how often quality gets traded away in the race to the bottom on price. Too many homeowners have been left with systems that don't perform, warranties that don't get honoured, and no one to call when something goes wrong.
We're a small operation by choice. Because small means accountable.
Matt didn't try to sell us the biggest system on the market, he sized it to what we actually use. The install was clean, the rebate paperwork was handled, and twelve months in it's producing exactly what he said it would.
