Solar solutions
Dependable power when the grid is not.
Complete engineered and installed solar energy and battery backup solutions for residential, commercial and agricultural clients, with client education, training and remote monitoring included.
Why solar now
The economics have changed. So has the technology.
As the cost of grid energy continues to rise each year, solar has become a reliable and renewable alternative rather than a luxury. Battery technology and photovoltaic systems have improved substantially over the past two decades, and a well-designed system now delivers dependable power precisely when the grid supply is not.
Renew brings more than 70 years of combined engineering, project management and support experience, with professional registrations, to every installation, whether it is a family home, a squash club or a working farm.
What makes a Renew system different
Engineered like a power plant, documented like one too.
Four things we do on every installation that most installers skip.
Smart auxiliary loads
Auxiliary load functionality lets geysers, pumps and other heavy loads use PV power while the grid is disconnected, so the battery is preserved for what matters.
Training and customised documentation
At completion you receive system training and documentation written for your installation, not a generic manual.
Remote monitoring
Every system reports back to Renew. We see faults before you do and push updates and optimisations remotely.
Single-line wiring diagrams
Proper drawings make future modifications, extensions and insurance assessments simple for any electrician.
How it works
From consumption profile to commissioning.
- 01
Assess
We measure how and when you actually use energy, and inspect the roof, distribution board and grid connection.
- 02
Design
Array, inverter and battery are sized to your profile and budget, with single-line diagrams produced before a panel is ordered.
- 03
Install
Qualified installers, marine-grade fixings where needed, tidy cable management and a certificate of compliance.
- 04
Train
You are shown how the system behaves during an outage and handed customised documentation.
- 05
Monitor
We keep watching remotely, pushing firmware updates and optimisations as your usage changes.
