30 April 🔋 Big milestone day

Today marks the end of the current battery rebate level before it steps down from 1 May.

It’s been a HUGE few months since July, and the push to get systems installed in time has been full on.

Massive thanks to our crew — long days, tight turnarounds and plenty of pressure. We couldn’t have done it without you 👏

For anyone still looking at batteries, just a heads up:

The ACCC has warned customers to watch out for businesses that:
⚠️ say the rebate is “ending completely”
⚠️ promise one price, then change it
⚠️ push for upfront payment to “lock in” rebates

As always — we keep things honest and transparent.

Thanks to all our customers for your patience through the rush 🙌
On to the next stage 🚀

⚡ Did your power go out in Urangan tonight?

Ergon has reported an unplanned outage affecting surrounding streets in Urangan.

Interestingly, several of our customers in the area with home battery systems have messaged to say their homes haven’t even noticed the outage — their systems automatically switched into backup mode and kept the house running.

This is exactly what battery storage is designed for:
✔ Lights stay on
✔ Fridges keep running
✔ No scrambling for torches during storms

With storm season and outages like this happening from time to time, it’s definitely something more households are starting to consider.

Curious to know - did your power go out tonight?

🔋 Tesla Powerwall owners — this is interesting news

Tesla has announced that Powerwall 3 will soon work with existing Powerwall 2 systems through a future software update.

That means homeowners with a Powerwall 2 may soon be able to expand their battery storage by adding Powerwall 3 and expansion units, giving:

⚡ More battery capacity
⚡ Longer backup during outages
⚡ Even lower electricity bills

Some configurations may allow up to 4 Powerwall 2 units, plus Powerwall 3 and expansion units in the same system.

With the battery rebates currently available in Australia, it could become a popular option for people wanting to expand their existing system rather than start from scratch.

Just curious, does anyone in Hervey Bay already have a Powerwall installed?
Would you consider adding more battery storage if this becomes available?

☀️ Big Solar & Battery Upgrade in Sunshine Acres

Another great project completed this week by the team at GCR Electrical Systems.

This home in Sunshine Acres has just been upgraded to a serious energy setup:

⚡ 15kW Solar System using high-efficiency Jinko panels
🔋 Sigenergy 10kW single-phase inverter
🔋 48kWh battery storage

That’s a huge amount of storage, giving the homeowners plenty of capacity to run the house and store excess solar energy for use at night or during outages.

The owners were proactive and secured their system late last year, locking in the solar rebates prior to the 1st May changes, a smart move that helped maximise their savings.

Systems like this are becoming more popular as homeowners look to reduce grid reliance and take control of rising energy costs.

If you’re thinking about solar, battery storage, or upgrading an existing system, feel free to reach out to the team.

🔋⚡ Sigenergy Upgrade Complete ⚡🔋

We installed this Sigenergy SigenStor system back in November last year — and we’ve now returned to take it to the next level 👌

This week we added the:

🔌 12.5kW DC Charging

That means this home now has:
☀️ Solar generation
🔋 32kWh battery storage
🚗 Direct DC EV charging straight from the battery system

The beauty of the Sigenergy platform is its modular design — we can expand and upgrade as the client’s needs grow. No replacing the whole system… just building on it.

Clean install, protected with bollards, and now fully future-ready for EV charging.

If you’re thinking about an EV but not sure how it integrates with solar and battery — this is exactly how it’s done.

🌊 Welcome to Burrum Heads ☀️🔋

Our newest Burrum Heads homeowners have hit the ground running — upgrading their 16-year-old solar system to a brand-new high-performance setup 👌

Out with the old, in with the new:

⚡ 13.3kW solar system
🔷 Premium Phono panels
🔋 Massive Sigenergy 32kWh battery storage

After 16 years, the original system had well and truly done its job — but technology has come a long way. This upgrade means:

✔️ Higher efficiency
✔️ More daytime generation
✔️ Serious overnight storage capacity
✔️ Future-ready energy independence

The new layout came up beautifully on the tile roof, and the Sig 32kWh storage gives them plenty of backup to ride through peak pricing and outages.

There’s nothing better than welcoming new locals to the Fraser Coast and helping them future-proof their home from day one 🙌

If your system is 10–15+ years old, it might be time to start thinking about what an upgrade could look like.

🏡 Another New Build Powered Up in Hervey Bay ☀️🔋

These homeowners only moved in late December… and now they’re fully set up to take control of their power from day one 🙌

We’ve just completed an 8.8kW solar system paired with a Tesla Powerwall 3, giving them:

✔️ Strong daytime generation
✔️ Night-time battery backup
✔️ Protection against rising power prices
✔️ Sleek, future-ready setup

The roof layout came up beautifully on this new build, and the Powerwall 3 install in the garage keeps everything clean and compliant.

There’s something special about setting up a brand-new home with solar and battery from the start — no retrofitting, just smart planning 👌

If you’re building or have just moved in and want to future-proof your home, now is the time to do it.
