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

Why Yarraville is its own job
Yarraville's roofs are period roofs, and that sets the limits. The tight grid of single-fronted and double-fronted timber and brick cottages was built for dockworkers and factory hands on narrow blocks with ornate verandahs — usable array area is modest, and lath-and-plaster ceilings make the cable route to the board the hard part of the install rather than the mounting. Underneath, a great many of these homes still carry wiring patched rather than modernised across a century, with brittle old cabling spliced into newer runs and a fuse board bolted up beside a back door. The rewire and the solar belong in one coordinated job. Yiannis does the heritage rewires here.
