Make your roof work for the way you use electricity. We assess your Strathmore home, plan the panel layout and explain the equipment and installation scope behind your quote.

For a Strathmore property with a Heritage Overlay, panel visibility can affect the permit requirements. Moonee Valley City Council’s guidance considers views from a street, other than a lane, and from a public park. Check your address and the proposed layout with Council before treating a concealed roof section as the final design.
The planning check and shade assessment answer different questions. A rear roof may be less visible but receive less useful sunlight. A side roof may offer space while remaining visible from a street. Work through both requirements together, rather than moving panels late in the quoting process.
Read Council’s solar and heritage guidance. These requirements are property-specific; we do not assume every Strathmore home has a Heritage Overlay.
The SEN person who assesses your home also designs the system. Our in-house team installs it, with a local base in Tullamarine.
The person who assesses your property also designs your system, and our own team installs it. These images show general SEN work and equipment. They are not presented as Strathmore installations or evidence of a particular system’s performance.
A call about your home. Tell us about your roof, electricity use and plans for solar.
A proposal you can review. We put the proposed system and price in writing, so you can see what is included.
A site visit before a firm price. If you want to continue, we check the installation details at your property and put any changes in writing.
It can, if there is enough suitable space and useful sunlight. A layout spread across roof sections needs to account for direction, shade and how the panels connect to the inverter. Ask to see the roof plan rather than judging suitability from panel count.
Check the shade assessment and any Council requirements first. Tree work is a separate decision and may need permission. Discuss a layout that accounts for the tree as it stands, rather than assuming it can be removed or heavily pruned.
No blanket permit requirement follows from the suburb name. Check whether your property has a Heritage Overlay or other relevant controls and confirm the proposed layout with Council. Its heritage guidance considers visibility from streets and public parks.
The benefit depends on how much solar you use at home, your electricity rates and the conditions for exporting unused power. A larger system may produce more electricity without all of it being used by your household. Ask for the usage and tariff assumptions behind the proposal.
Send your address and a recent electricity bill, with usage history if available. Mention known shade, roof repairs, extensions and planned electrical changes. Roof and switchboard photos help the initial discussion; a site assessment checks the installation details.
Discuss this before selecting the inverter. A later battery needs compatible equipment and electrical arrangements. Blackout backup also needs a specific design for the circuits it will supply; ordinary grid-connected solar shuts down when the grid fails. Explore home battery storage.
Bring your electricity bill and the questions you have about your roof. We’ll use the free assessment to discuss the proposed solar system and put the scope and price in writing.
