What solar & battery in Coburg involves
A solar system in Coburg 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 Coburg roof.

Why Coburg is its own job
A Coburg solar job is usually an archaeology job first. The Edwardian and Federation single-fronters behind Sydney Road have typically had three or four electrical interventions over their lives — the original gas-to-electricity conversion, a 1950s kitchen sub-circuit, a 1980s back-extension rewire, a 2000s renovation — and an inverter tied into the wrong layer of that is a problem that shows up later. Roof area on a single-fronted terrace is also modest and often shaded by the neighbour, which changes the sensible array size. The Pentridge adaptive-reuse apartments are a different question again, since the roof is common property. Yiannis tests circuit by circuit and reports before connecting anything.
