Solar and batteries, designed for your home
Not a 6.6 kW package with your address on it. A system sized to your roof, your usage and the way your household actually lives.
Why we don't sell standard packages
A standard package assumes an average home. Yours isn’t one.
A household that’s out all day uses power differently to one with someone working from home, a pool pump or an EV. A north-facing roof performs differently to an east–west split. Get these wrong and you pay for panels you don’t use, or a battery that’s empty by 8pm.
What goes into your design
Six things we check before we recommend anything.
Your bills
How much power you use, when you use it and what you're spending. This tells us whether solar and batteries are viable for you before anything else.
Your roof
Orientation, pitch, available space and structure.
Shading
Trees, neighbouring buildings and seasonal sun angles, checked on site.
Your main switchboard (MSB)
Whether there's space for solar and storage, what backup options are possible, and whether an upgrade is needed (quoted separately and explained).
Your battery location
A spot that's compliant with Australian Standards and practical for your home, checked while we're there.
Your plans
An EV, a pool, a renovation or a growing family all change the right answer.
Solar panels and inverters
We choose panels and inverters for their efficiency, warranty and the strength of the manufacturer’s Australian support. Your proposal names every brand and model, and explains why it was chosen for your roof.
Where shading is an issue, we’ll explain whether microinverters or optimisers are worth it for you, or not.
Home batteries
A battery stores your excess daytime solar so you can use it in the evening, when grid power usually costs the most. Some batteries can also keep essential circuits running in a blackout.
Whether a battery makes financial sense depends on your usage, your tariff and available rebates. We’ll show you the numbers for your home specifically, and if a battery won’t pay off for you yet, we’ll say so.
What may help with the cost
You may be eligible for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount, Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) on solar, and state incentives where you live. In NSW, eligible households may also apply for a zero-interest Home Energy Saver loan of up to $15,000 through an approved Finance Provider.
All discounts we apply are shown as separate lines on your quote, so you can see exactly what’s included.
Eligibility criteria apply. OAKEN Energy is not a credit provider. Loans are provided by NSW Government-approved Finance Providers and are subject to their eligibility and responsible-lending assessment.
