At Solarbank, we are committed to delivering exceptional home energy installations that combine superior performance, safety, and visual appeal. Our five key installation categories showcase the attention to detail that sets us apart, with real examples from our work demonstrating clean, compliant, and long-lasting results.

1. Cable Work - Cavity versus Surface Conduit

We always prioritise concealed cabling by routing through wall cavities wherever possible, minimising or eliminating visible surface conduit to keep your property looking pristine and professional.

Notice how all cabling is routed through the wall cavity, leaving a clean, uncluttered finish.

2. Roof Penetrations and Leak Protection

We install only genuine full-sized Dektite® flashings in full compliance with Australian Standards, ensuring every roof cable entry is completely watertight and your roof remains protected for the long term.

3. DC Cable and Panel Wiring

All DC cabling is securely fixed using stainless steel cable ties and clips attached directly to panels and rails—no hanging cables, no roof contact—meeting Australian Standards for safety and durability.

4. Solar Panel Configuration

Panels are precisely placed with equal spacing, aligned square to roof edges and gutters, and adjusted flat to compensate for any roof variations—creating a seamless, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing array.

5. Tile Grinding

On tiled roofs, we precisely grind tiles per Clean Energy Council guidelines so tiles don't rest directly on the metal brackets—preventing cracks, leaks, and ensuring your roof's integrity for decades.
