Project Overview
In Gledswood Hills, we worked with a homeowner who already had a strong 13.2kW solar system installed but wanted to take their energy setup to the next level.
Their goal was simple: store excess solar energy, reduce reliance on the grid, and support electric vehicle charging at home.
This project required a high-quality AC-coupled battery add-on, paired with a Tesla Wall Charger for a complete future-ready solution.
What the client needed
- Premium battery storage to maximise solar savings
- A reliable AC-coupled upgrade for an existing system
- EV charging capability for convenient at-home charging
- A safe and sheltered installation designed for long-term performance
Our objectives
For this Gledswood Hills upgrade, our objectives were to:
- Seamlessly integrate a Tesla Powerwall 3 with an existing 13.2kW solar system
- Deliver a clean AC-coupled battery solution with minimal disruption
- Complete an extensive cable run across the property to the main switchboard
- Install a Tesla Wall Charger to support the homeowner’s EV lifestyle
- Ensure the system was sheltered and built for long-lasting savings
Provided Solutions
We delivered a premium Tesla energy upgrade designed for performance, reliability, and future independence.
The installation included:
- Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh battery storage)
- Tesla Gateway for system control and backup functionality
- Tesla Wall Charger for fast and efficient EV charging at home
Because the battery location sat on the opposite side of the property, the job required an extensive cable run back to the main switchboard.
Our team engineered the solution carefully, ensuring:
- Safe and compliant electrical work
- A neat and professional finish
- A sheltered battery placement for durability and protection
Final Outcome
The homeowner now has a complete energy upgrade that enhances both their solar investment and lifestyle.
Key outcomes include:
- 13.5kWh of Tesla battery storage ready to capture excess solar energy
- Reduced grid dependence, especially during peak evening hours
- A reliable EV charging solution powered by clean solar energy
- A protected, long-lasting installation built for Australian conditions
This project delivers stronger savings today and a smarter energy future tomorrow.
