Byron Bay Solar
Contemporary home at dusk — typical residential evening load

Homes

Residential solar, sized to the roof and the bills

A home system is a layout, a switchboard, and a usage pattern. We start there. The module count comes after, not in the first sentence of a brochure.

Free solar assessment

What the assessment covers

Recent electricity bills (a year is better than one quarter), roof photos or a site visit, shading, switchboard space, and how the house actually runs — work-from-home, pool, two EVs, empty weekdays. From that we draft a custom design for your roof.

You will not get a ranking claim or a guaranteed dollar saving on this website. If a later written design includes a savings range, it should be labelled against your tariff — or marked illustrative.

Coast versus hinterland homes

Coastal houses pick up salt and wind notes; hinterland houses pick up shade and older boards. Use the town page that matches the property — Byron Bay, Bangalow, Tweed Heads — then come back here for the residential method.

Adding storage later

If a battery is likely in the next few years, the solar design should not paint you into a corner. That is the point of the solar + battery page. If you only want panels now, we still note inverter and board choices that keep the door open.

Questions people actually ask

How long does a residential assessment take?

A first written response can follow a complete enquiry in a small number of business days. A site visit, if needed, is booked from there. Timelines depend on access and how complete the bills and photos are.

Do I need to be home for a roof assessment?

Not always. Clear photos, a recent bill, and the inverter or switchboard location are enough to start. Some roofs still need someone on site.
