Gables Home Gets a Green Makeover
Our client Bashir decided to add a residential solar system to his new home in Gables, NSW, with a clear goal:
- He wanted a high performing, powerful and good looking system without any visible cabling.
- He aimed for a setup that matched his home's modern look and met its energy needs.
What Bashir Wanted
From the start, Bashir was all in on solar power. He knew his new house would use a lot of electricity, so he needed a strong solar system. He asked us to coordinate with his builder to ensure everything went smoothly.
Preliminary Rough-In and Panel Installation
- Initial Steps:Right from the start, our team kicked off the project by pre-wiring all cables early on during construction. This key move meant running wires from the Inverter up to the roof and to the switchboard, making sure everything was concealed. Our goal? To make sure the finish was sleek, hiding all cables to keep the new building looking good.

Utilisation of Scaffolding:
To safely put up the solar panels, we made good use of the scaffolding already on site.This way, we kept our team safe and made sure the solar panel installation was done properly and securely. Using the scaffolding helped us deal with any tricky parts of the installation smoothly and with great care. -
Preparation for Inverter Installation:
Getting ready for the inverter setup, we planned ahead and got the garage area all set. We put in wooden supports between the beams to make sure the inverter had a strong base to sit on. Since the inverter is quite heavy, at 30kg, this step was key to make sure it would be safely attached to the wall, leaving everything looking neat and professional.
Our Approach
Inverter and Switchboard Installation
After finishing the building work, our team came back to put in the final pieces - the inverter and metering. This was a big moment for our project, moving us from the setup phase to getting everything up and running.
During the whole setup, we focused on making the home solar system run smoothly and keeping the place looking good. We carefully planned and did each step, from the first wiring to the finishing touches of mounting the inverter and fitting off at the switchboard. This way, we made sure the solar system installation fit perfectly with the building without any hitches.
SJ Power’s step-by-step method, starting with the basic setup and ending with the full installation of the inverter and switchboard, shows how serious we are about doing a great job.
We put safety, looks, and how well everything works first to give you a solar system that goes beyond what you hoped for. Our skilled approach makes sure the solar system works well and fits perfectly with your home’s style.
Proud Achievements
Challenges Along the Way
Every project has unexpected obstacles to overcome, and our solar panel and battery installation project was no different. But at SJ Power, we’re used to facing and overcoming challenges head-on.
Seamless Coordination with the On-Site Builder
One of the first hurdles was ensuring our solar system installation plan meshed perfectly with the ongoing construction activities. This meant a lot of back-and-forth communication with the builders. We made sure our schedules aligned, preventing any delays or conflicts. By staying in close contact, we ensured that our work complemented the construction process, rather than complicating it.
Utilising Site Scaffolding for Safe Heights Work
Safety is always our top priority, especially when working at heights. The site’s existing scaffolding was extremely helpful. It allowed our team to install the home solar panel system on the roof safely and efficiently. This approach not only ensured the well-being of our team but also sped up the installation process. By making smart use of the scaffolding, we avoided the extra time and expense of setting up our own, keeping the project on track and within budget.
Installing Timber Blocking for the Inverter
The inverter is a crucial component of any solar system, converting the sun’s energy into electricity that can power a home. It’s also quite heavy. To mount it securely and ensure it stayed put, we added timber blocking between the garage’s steel frames. This step was vital for creating a stable and safe mounting point that could support the inverter’s weight without any risk. It also helped us achieve a clean and professional finish, with the inverter neatly integrated into the garage’s design.
Results
The Solution
By addressing these challenges head-on, we ensured that our client’s residential solar system installation was done smoothly and safely. The coordination with builders meant no delays or issues with the construction timeline. Using the scaffolding efficiently kept our team safe and sped up the panel installation. And by preparing the garage with timber blocking, we guaranteed a secure and aesthetically pleasing setup for the inverter. These careful preparations paved the way for a successful installation, making Bashir’s home a model of modern, sustainable living.
Reflection
Looking back at the completion of this project, our team feels a deep sense of accomplishment. The aesthetics of the installation, the seamless process from start to finish, and the powerful outcome of generating 22.23kw of solar energy are highlights that stand out. These achievements underscore our commitment to delivering solar solutions that are not just about energy efficiency but also about enhancing the way homes look and function. Bashir’s home in Gables, NSW, is now a beacon of sustainable living, and we’re proud to have played a part in this transformation.
