☀️ Big roof or small, city or country, the sun shines on all of it.

We design solar to match the way you use power.

A family home needs something different from a busy workplace. A paddock setup looks nothing like a warehouse roof.

That's why we don't do one-size-fits-all. We look at your space, your energy use and your budget first.

Then we build the right system.

Whatever your space, we've got it covered.

How do solar panels survive decades on an Aussie roof? 🌞

It's all in the build.

The front glass is low-iron, so more sunlight gets through. It's strong too, built to cope with tough weather.

The cells are fully sealed. Moisture and dust stay out.

The back is built to handle UV and weather.

Shade from a tree? Bypass diodes help limit the power loss.

So build quality matters as much as price.

Thinking about solar? Not sure which system suits your home? 🤔

Here's something many people don't know. A standard grid-connected system switches off during a power outage. This protects workers fixing the lines.

Want power during outages? A battery with backup can keep your essentials running.

Off-grid systems work differently. They're sized for the cloudiest winter days. That means careful planning from the start.

There's also a middle ground. A hybrid system stays on the grid and stores energy in a battery. You get some benefits of both.

Our team looks at your property, your power bills and your energy use. Then we recommend the right setup for you.

The question we hear most: "How much will I actually save?"

The honest answer? It depends on your habits more than your panels.

Here's why. Power you use during the day is power you don't buy from the grid. Power you export earns a much smaller rate. So two identical systems can save very different amounts. It comes down to who's home during the day.

A few things worth knowing before you commit:

You may need a new meter. Most Perth homes need a smart meter to record exports. It's simple, but ask about it early.

Approval isn't automatic. New systems need network approval. There are also limits on how much you can export. A good installer handles this before you sign.

Check your roof first. Old tiles or Colorbond should be fixed before install. Removing and refitting a system later costs a lot more.

Batteries are worth another look. Rebates have changed the numbers a lot recently. Amounts and rules do change, so check what's current.

Shading changes with the seasons. A tree that's fine in summer can block sun in winter. The sun sits much lower in June. A proper site check allows for this.

Still thinking it over? Give us a call. No pressure either way.

Perth gives your solar panels a hard time.

Between summer dust, salt air near the coast, pollen in spring and the occasional flock of birds, panels here pick up a layer of grime faster than most people expect.

And because that layer builds gradually, you don't notice it happening. Your system just quietly produces a little less each month.

Rain doesn't fix it either. It shifts loose dust, but the baked-on film stays, and it tends to settle along the bottom edge of each panel where it does the most damage.

The good news is that this is one of the easiest things to stay on top of.

A proper clean restores what the dirt was costing you, and it's worth doing before summer rather than after, so you're getting full output through your highest-generation months.

If your panels haven't been looked at since installation, that's usually a sign it's time.

Your home is using far more power than it was originally wired for. ⚡

Air conditioning, induction cooktops, EV chargers, home offices. All added over the years to a system that hasn't changed since the day it was installed.

That gap is where the problems start. Circuits that keep tripping. Powerpoints that run warm. Switchboards still carrying old ceramic fuses instead of modern protection.

At Tanway Engineering, we look at how your property is actually used before recommending what it needs, whether that's extra power points, lighting upgrades, or a full switchboard replacement.

Is your solar system doing enough for you after sunset?

For many homes and businesses, the biggest opportunity comes after the sun goes down.

Battery storage can help you use more of the solar energy you generate during the day, rather than relying as heavily on grid power in the evening.

It’s all about making the energy you already generate work harder for you.

Myth
Solar panels produce more electricity in hotter areas
Fact
Solar panels utilise sunlight, not heat to generate electricity.
Surprisingly, higher temperatures can reduce their efficiency.

Sunny doesn’t always mean hotter is better for solar.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, not heat. In fact, when panel temperatures rise too high, their efficiency can decrease, meaning they may produce slightly less power.
That’s why getting the right panel technology, system design and installation matters. A professionally designed solar system is better positioned to perform reliably through Australia’s changing weather conditions.
So, when choosing solar, don’t just look at how much sun your area gets. Consider how your system will perform across the full range of conditions.

Solar panels are a long-term investment in your energy future.

Quality solar panels can have a lifespan of 25+ years, although their energy output gradually decreases over time.

With professional installation, regular inspections and proper maintenance, your system can continue generating reliable renewable energy for decades.

A well-maintained solar system can help reduce your dependence on grid electricity, lower long-term energy costs and make better use of clean, renewable power.

Choosing the right system and professional installation can make a significant difference to its long-term performance.
