Solar installation across Perth, sized to your bills, not your roof.

The problem with three solar quotes

They all look plausible. The numbers all point the same direction. The only thing you can genuinely compare is the price, so most people pick the cheapest, and the cheapest is cheap in the places nobody inspects.

We come at it the other way round. SolArk is an electrical contractor that specialised into solar, not a solar company that later hired an electrician. So the switchboard, the isolators, the cable runs and the roof penetrations get the same attention as the panel count, because those are the parts that decide whether the system is still fine years down the track.

Who is actually on your roof

Plenty of solar is sold by a retailer and installed by whoever they can book that week. Whoever turns up is paid per job, so the incentive is to be finished and gone, and the shortcuts land in the places that do not show up on handover day. If something goes wrong two years later, the retailer and the installer are two different companies and neither of them owns it.

We do the lot ourselves. Everyone who works on your job works for SolArk, and nothing is subcontracted. The people who assess, design and install it are deliberately different people, each doing the part they are best at, and there is nobody to point at if it is not right. That is a harder way to run a business and a considerably better one to buy from.

How we size a system

Off your bills and your usage pattern, not the square metres available on your roof. A system that is bigger than your household needs costs you more up front and exports the difference at a rate that keeps falling. We would rather quote the right size and explain why it is smaller than the other quotes on your kitchen table.

We have talked customers out of systems and out of batteries. It costs us the sale and keeps the reputation.

New builds, replacements and upgrades

We install on new homes, replace systems that have reached the end of their life, and upgrade existing systems where the inverter is the limit rather than the panels. Removals are handled properly: old panels, inverters and racking go to recyclers, not to landfill.

Recent installs have run from a modest 6.65kW system in Roleystone up to 26.6kW with battery storage and an EV charger in Ascot. Both were the right size for that household, which is the only measure that matters.

Stop renting your power from Synergy

Every bill you pay is rent on power somebody else made. Panels are the point where you stop renting it and start making it. A system sized off your own bills covers what your house actually uses through the day, and the bill that arrives afterwards is for the difference rather than the lot.

See whether your savings cover the repayments

Finance is available on solar and battery storage through the providers we work with. Whether the savings cover the repayments depends on your usage, your tariff and the system, so we work it out on your actual bill rather than telling you in advance.
