FAQ

Forest Hill - Frequently Asked Questions

What solar and battery setup suits Forest Hill homes?
10kW-plus arrays paired with a Tesla Powerwall 3 or Sigenergy battery - the 1970s and 80s family homes here have the roof area and the evening usage to justify both. We model your bills first and will say plainly if solar-only with a battery-ready inverter is the smarter start.
Is my 1970s or 80s switchboard still adequate?
Probably not by current standards - most Forest Hill boards of that vintage lack RCDs on every circuit and have no headroom for new loads. Replacement with a modern RCBO board is one day's work, fixed price, certified, and it futureproofs the solar and EV plans these homes are making.
How does load management make EV charging work on single-phase?
The charger watches the home's total draw and backs off when the kitchen or heating peaks, so the supply never trips - then resumes full rate overnight. It's how most Forest Hill installs run, and it avoids paying for a three-phase upgrade a single-EV household doesn't need.
Can you power a pool or rear granny flat?
Yes - sub-board installs for pools and rear granny flats are regular Forest Hill work: dedicated protected circuits, properly sized cable runs, full certification, and trenching included in the fixed quote. Cheapest done before landscaping, worth doing right regardless.
