Designed, not sold
The right systemstarts withyour power bill.
A solar quote that arrives before anyone has seen your roof is a sales document. Ours starts with Dak on site: which way the roof faces, what shades it in winter, what the switchboard can take, and what your bills say about when you use power. Then the system is sized to that, with a battery or a car charger allowed for if they are coming later.
On the roof, the things that matter are the things you cannot see from the ground. Tiles are ground so the brackets do not lift them, flashings are done properly so nothing leaks in three winters, isolators and cabling go where the rules say, and the job is signed off by the people who did it. One customer wrote that the crew found six broken roof tiles, and since the house had no spares, organised replacements at no charge. That is the standard.

Existing systems
Solar that wasnever quitefinished.
A fair bit of our solar work is on systems other people installed. Inverters that have died out of warranty, systems that produce half what the salesperson promised, isolators that fail inspection, and installs that were signed off but never commissioned properly.
We diagnose it honestly. Sometimes it is a cheap fix, sometimes the inverter needs replacing, and sometimes the right answer is to add panels or a battery to a system that is otherwise fine. You get the options in writing either way.
- Inverter replacements and repairs
- Underperforming systems diagnosed
- Panels added to existing systems
- Isolator, cabling and compliance fixes
From a Google review
I was always sceptical who to trust when it came to solar and kept putting it off. I chose DJM because of the recommendation of a trusted friend. At the end of the job they even advised me I had 6 broken roof tiles and I had no spares so they went ahead and organised replacements at no charge.

Good to know
Solar panelquestions,answered.
How big a system do I need?
It depends on your daytime usage, your roof and whether a battery is coming. Bigger is not automatically better now that export earns so little. We size it from your bills and tell you why, and we show the alternative if there is one.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential systems are installed in a day, with the meter change and grid connection following through Ausgrid. We give you the timeline on the quote and keep to it.
Which panels and inverters do you use?
Established brands with Australian support, chosen to suit the job rather than one brand for everything. Each product and its warranty is listed on your quote, so you can compare like for like with any other quote.
Do I need a battery as well?
Not necessarily. If most of your usage is during the day, panels alone may be the right call. If your bill is mostly evenings, a battery changes the maths. We will show you both, and the system is designed so a battery can be added later either way.
What rebates apply to solar panels?
The federal small-scale certificate rebate is applied as a discount on the quote, so you see it as a line item and never deal with the paperwork. Battery discounts are separate and covered on our rebates page.
Can you repair or replace my existing inverter?
Yes. Inverter failures out of warranty are one of the most common calls we get. We diagnose it, tell you whether it is a repair or a replacement, and price both if both are sensible.
Is there a limit on how much I can export?
Ausgrid sets export limits for solar systems, and they vary with your supply. We design around them and handle the approval, so you are not surprised by a limit after the panels are on.
What warranty comes with it?
Five years on our workmanship, plus the product warranties on the panels and inverter listed on the quote. The number you ring in year three is the same one you rang at the start.
