Solar Power Marrickville

There are several factors that make going solar in Marrickville a little bit different, and the surrounding suburbs like Sydenham and Dulwich Hill are in a similar category. With a bit of planning, these issues can be overcome, and you can begin using home solar panels in no time.

Meterbox
A large number of homes in the inner west have small wooden panels mounted above the doorway, with ceramic fuses in place of breakers/isolators, and sometimes even cotton/cloth sheathed cables. Some of these meterboxes are over regulation height, and it could require you to have a professional or the installer move the metering infrastructure. Discuss this with the installer before going ahead to make sure there will be no surprises down the track.

Tiles
Many homes in the area are more than eighty years old and feature either unglazed terra-cotta tiles or slate roofing. Whilst slate roofing isn’t serviced by Greenforce, terra-cotta tiled rooftops are usually suitable for solar installation. If the original tiles are on the house, it might prove useful to obtain some spares before installation, because many older tiles have been made brittle by weathering or lichen. For glazed terra-cotta and concrete tiles.
