Your Solar
G’day, I’m Brad, and together with my lovely wife Rachelle, we run Sunsave Solar. Here’s how we do things differently.
I'm there at every job
I bring my local crew and 17+ years solar and 30+ years electrical experience to every job. No subbies. No cutting corners.
Gear I'd put on my own home
I only use the best equipment: 475W Jinko panels, APS microinverters, and Sigenergy batteries.

We only use premium panels, APS microinverters and Sigenergy batteries. Our products are well supported in Australia and built to last.
Energy Independence
Get off the hamster wheel of endless rate hikes. With solar + battery, you’re in control, not the energy company.
How Solar & Battery
Systems Work
Tap below to discover how solar and battery systems work to better to unlock energy independence for your home.
Capture the Sun’s Free Energy
High-efficiency solar panels capture energy from the available sunlight. Paired with APS microinverters, each panel operates independently, so shading on one panel has less impact on the performance of the rest of your system.
Store and Optimize Energy Usage
Sigenergy battery systems let you store excess solar during the day and use it when you need it most, reducing your reliance on the grid and helping you make the most of the energy your system produces. With backup power, built-in fire suppression and app-based monitoring, you can keep an eye on your system and stay powered when the grid goes down.
Sell Excess Energy to the Grid
We can also connect your system with Amber Electric or Globird, giving you access to real-time wholesale electricity prices. This can allow you to sell excess solar when prices are high and buy electricity when prices are low, giving you another way to maximise the value of your solar and battery system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cheap solar is cheap for a reason—and it almost always ends up costing significantly more in the long run.
Those ultra-low-cost offers usually rely on sub-contracted installers who are paid per panel (leading to rushed work, roof leaks, and safety risks), bottom-tier hardware that degrades within a few years, and "fly-by-night" sales companies that disappear when you need warranty support.
At Sunsave Solar, we don't compete on being the cheapest, we compete on doing the job right so you only pay for solar once.
When you invest with us, you get:
In-House Experienced Trades: Brad and our local team personally install your system. We never farm your job out to cheap third-party subcontractors.
Tier-1 Australian-Backed Hardware: We only install proven, high-yield panels and inverters backed by real, long-term Australian warranties.
30+ Years Electrical Experience: Over 30 years of trade expertise ensuring every connection, wire, and tile seal is immaculate.
Lifetime Local Support: If you ever have a question or need service, you call us directly, not an offshore call center.
We build high-performing solar systems engineered to save you money for 20+ years, backed by a local family that stands behind every single roof we work on.
Local reputation matters to us. We don’t ghost customers after install, we don’t sell you the cheapest gear we can get our hands on, and we don’t disappear when something needs fixing. Our name is on every job, and we are here for the long run.
You call Brad. Directly. Not a call centre, not a chatbot, not a ticket system.
Because we use microinverters with panel-level monitoring, we usually spot issues before you even notice them. If a single panel drops off or something's not performing right, it shows up on our monitoring straight away.
Your panels carry a 25-year performance warranty. APS microinverters and Sigenergy batteries come with a 10-year warranty.
But beyond the warranty paperwork, we're local. We're not disappearing after the install. Brad's been doing this for 17 years in the same area. If something needs attention, we come out and sort it.
They can. But it depends on how your system is set up.
Not every battery install includes blackout protection. Some cheaper installs just connect the battery to the grid, so when the grid goes down, so does your battery. Bit pointless, right?
We set up every system with backup capability as standard. When the power goes out, your battery kicks in automatically. Your fridge keeps running, your lights stay on, and you're not sitting in the dark wondering when Ausgrid will sort it out.
How long it lasts depends on your battery size and what you're running. A typical setup will keep your essentials going for 12 to 48 hours easily. If you've got solar panels too, your battery recharges during the day, so in theory you can ride out an extended outage without blinking.
The Sigenergy systems we install are designed for exactly this. Seamless switchover, no delay, no drama.
This is actually one of the biggest reasons we use microinverters instead of a standard string inverter system.
With a traditional string inverter system, your panels are wired together in a chain. If one panel gets shade from a tree or a chimney, the whole string drops in output. One shaded panel drags the rest down with it.
With microinverters, each panel works independently. So if one or two panels cop some shade in the morning or afternoon, the rest of your system keeps pumping out full power. You only lose output on the panels that are actually shaded.
We'll assess your roof during the quoting process. We can tell you exactly which panels will be affected and how much shade you're really dealing with. In most cases, microinverters mean shade isn't the dealbreaker people think it is.
Yep. The NSW Home Energy Saver program launched in June 2026. You can borrow up to $15,000, completely interest-free, and pay it back over up to 10 years.
It covers solar panels, batteries, heat pump hot water, EV chargers, and a bunch of other upgrades. You just need to own your home in NSW and have a combined household income under $210,000.
Applications go through Brighte or Plenti. We can walk you through the whole process when you get a quote.
