What solar & battery in Broadmeadows involves
A solar system in Broadmeadows is only as good as its electrical work. Thunderman handles the licensed side: the panel wiring, battery storage installation, and the switchboard integration that ties it all into your home safely and to the AS/NZS 3000 standard.
In Victoria, the electrical installation and switchboard work for solar and battery must be done by a licensed electrician. Yiannis (REC 28523) makes sure the integration is safe, compliant and built to keep performing for years, whether it's a brand-new array or a battery added to existing panels on a Broadmeadows roof.

Why Broadmeadows is its own job
Broadmeadows solar work usually starts from a compliance trigger rather than a power bill. The suburb was subdivided in two waves — the post-war Housing Commission build-out through the late 1950s and 1960s, and a private-developer wave in the 1970s — so the typical house is a 50-to-70-year-old single-storey brick veneer with an original switchboard, and the most common job is already a board upgrade prompted by a property-manager inspection or a Sale-of-Land electrical safety report. Older roofs of that era can also include asbestos sheeting, which changes how anything gets fixed to them. Around Banksia Gardens and the newer infill the boards are 1990s-2000s and the job is smaller.
