Your home is using far more power than it was originally wired for. ⚡

Air conditioning, induction cooktops, EV chargers, home offices. All added over the years to a system that hasn't changed since the day it was installed.

That gap is where the problems start. Circuits that keep tripping. Powerpoints that run warm. Switchboards still carrying old ceramic fuses instead of modern protection.

At Tanway Engineering, we look at how your property is actually used before recommending what it needs, whether that's extra power points, lighting upgrades, or a full switchboard replacement.

Serving homes and businesses across Perth.

Is your solar system doing enough for you after sunset?

For many homes and businesses, the biggest opportunity comes after the sun goes down.

Battery storage can help you use more of the solar energy you generate during the day, rather than relying as heavily on grid power in the evening.

It’s all about making the energy you already generate work harder for you.

Thinking about adding a battery to your solar setup? Talk to Tanway Engineering and find out what could work for your property.

Myth
Solar panels produce more electricity in hotter areas
Fact
Solar panels utilise sunlight, not heat to generate electricity.
Surprisingly, higher temperatures can reduce their efficiency.

Sunny doesn’t always mean hotter is better for solar.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, not heat. In fact, when panel temperatures rise too high, their efficiency can decrease, meaning they may produce slightly less power.
That’s why getting the right panel technology, system design and installation matters. A professionally designed solar system is better positioned to perform reliably through Australia’s changing weather conditions.
So, when choosing solar, don’t just look at how much sun your area gets. Consider how your system will perform across the full range of conditions.

Solar panels are a long-term investment in your energy future.

Quality solar panels can have a lifespan of 25+ years, although their energy output gradually decreases over time.

With professional installation, regular inspections and proper maintenance, your system can continue generating reliable renewable energy for decades.

A well-maintained solar system can help reduce your dependence on grid electricity, lower long-term energy costs and make better use of clean, renewable power.

Choosing the right system and professional installation can make a significant difference to its long-term performance.

Selling your solar back to the grid might not be as valuable as you think.

Under DEBS, Synergy pays 10c/kWh for energy exported between 3pm and 9pm, but just 2c/kWh at other times.

And most rooftop solar generates its most energy between 10am and 2pm.

So rather than sending that midday energy back to the grid for 2 cents, there’s a bigger opportunity in using more of it yourself.

That could mean:

→ Storing it in a battery for the evening
→ Running hot water, pool pumps or EV charging while your solar is producing
→ Using efficient reverse-cycle air conditioning on your own solar
→ Upgrading lighting to reduce your overall energy use

At Tanway Engineering, we bring solar, battery storage, air conditioning and general electrical together under one roof.

One contractor. One design. One point of accountability.

Getting to 80–90% self-consumption is achievable. It just takes a plan.

Solar energy can help households reduce their dependence on conventional grid electricity by generating power directly from sunlight.

A well designed rooftop solar system can offer several financial and energy benefits:

• Lower electricity bills: Generate your own electricity and reduce the amount of power purchased from the grid.

• Long term savings: Solar panels can continue generating electricity for many years, helping offset future energy costs.

• Better energy independence: Producing electricity on site gives you greater control over your household energy consumption.

• Renewable energy source: Solar power uses sunlight, a clean and naturally replenished source of energy.

• Reduced carbon footprint: Generating electricity through solar can help reduce reliance on fossil fuel based power generation.

Your actual savings will depend on factors such as system size, electricity consumption, sunlight availability, roof conditions, local electricity rates, and system performance.

Solar is not just about saving on today's electricity bill. It is an investment in long term energy savings and a more sustainable future.

How does residential solar actually work?

A solar system uses several key components to turn sunlight into usable electricity for your home:

1.Solar panels capture energy from sunlight.

2.The inverter converts the generated electricity into power your home can use.

3.Your home uses solar energy to power everyday appliances.

The grid or battery storage can help manage excess energy, depending on your system configuration.

A properly designed solar system can help reduce your reliance on grid electricity, improve energy efficiency and support a cleaner energy future.

At Tanway Engineering, residential solar solutions are designed around your property and energy requirements.

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program changed on 1 May 2026, and a lot of quotes floating around still don't reflect it.

What changed:
→ Program funding lifted from $2.3 billion to $7.2 billion after uptake blew past forecasts
→ The rebate now declines every six months instead of annually → The STC factor dropped from 8.4 to 6.8
→ Support now tapers by size = the first 14 kWh gets the full rate, capacity above that gets less

The strategic shift is the important part. Under the old structure, oversizing was cheap. Under the new one, a right-sized battery delivers the strongest return per dollar.

That makes sizing an engineering question, not a sales question. It depends on your actual evening load, your solar array, your tariff and whether you're joining a VPP.

We size batteries against your real consumption data, not a brochure.
As a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer working across Powerwall, Sungrow, GoodWe and Fronius, we'll tell you when 10 kWh is the right answer and when it isn't.

Game-changer for Perth and Brisbane businesses running big power bills!** ⚡🏭

The Federal Government just announced a huge upgrade to the **Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)** - raising the cap from100 kW all the way to 1 MW.

What does this actually mean for you?

~20% off the upfront installation cost for commercial & industrial rooftop solar systems.

Starts October 1, 2026

This also to fill up the "missing middle": Warehouses, factories, cold storage, and workshops with massive roofs and daytime loads can finally tap into major incentives.

Australian households have already installed 22 GW of solar, while local businesses sit at just 5.6 GW. If you parked a solar project in the past because the numbers didn't stack up, the math is about to look completely different.

---
Ready to run the numbers again?

At Tanway Engineering, we’ve been designing and building commercial solar systems above 30 kW for years.

Don't wait until October to start planning!

Not all businesses use energy the same way.

So why should every commercial solar system be the same?

Your operating hours, energy usage, and future growth all play a role in designing the right solution. That's why commercial solar needs more than a standard package. It needs a system that's planned around the way your business operates.

At Tanway Engineering, we design commercial solar solutions that are tailored to your business, helping you maximise savings, improve efficiency, and plan for the future.
