How Much Solar Do You Actually Need?
The largest system that fits on a roof is not automatically the
right system.
Braintric considers annual consumption, daytime and evening use,
roof area, orientation, shading, inverter capacity, network export
requirements, switchboard capacity, future battery storage, EV
charging and expected load growth.
The panel-array capacity and inverter AC capacity do not always
need to be identical. In an appropriate design, a larger panel
array can help produce useful energy across more hours of the day
while remaining within the inverter and network design limits.

Solar self-consumption
Use Solar First. Export Second.
For many homes and businesses, solar is most valuable when it is
consumed directly within the property.
Grid electricity can cost significantly more than retailers pay
for exported solar. Braintric therefore considers how much
generation can be used onsite. Battery storage, EV charging and
energy management may increase self-consumption further.

Grid connection
Your Roof Isn’t the Only Limit
Solar design can also be affected by the local electricity
network.
Depending on the property, phase configuration, inverter capacity
and local DNSP requirements, conditions may affect connection or
export. Braintric considers the relevant Ausgrid or Endeavour
Energy requirements and manages applicable grid-connection
applications.

Long-term protection
Understand What Your Warranty Actually Covers
Different components and services have different warranty terms.
Panel product warranty
Eligible manufacturing or product defects under manufacturer
terms.
Panel performance warranty
The manufacturer’s warranted output over time.
Inverter warranty
Eligible inverter issues under the manufacturer’s terms.
Braintric workmanship warranty
10-year workmanship warranty, subject to applicable terms and
conditions.
Solar panels gradually experience performance degradation. Braintric
considers equipment quality, manufacturer support, warranty
conditions and long-term performance—not only headline wattage.
