Strata-ready and heritage-approved solar design for the Lower North Shore's diverse housing stock — from Mosman Federation homes to North Sydney apartments. Urban shading analysis included as standard, not optional.
The Lower North Shore's mix of apartments, heritage homes and dense urban streetscapes demands more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
We guide strata owners through Owners Corporation approval, common property rules and embedded network options — the paperwork most installers won't touch. From a single-lot rooftop system to a whole-building solar proposal for the OC, we handle the process end to end.
Adjacent buildings, rooftop plant rooms and dense street trees create shading patterns unique to urban North Shore sites. We model your property in 3D using hourly shade-path data across all seasons — identifying viable roof zones and recommending microinverters or DC optimisers where string losses would otherwise be significant.
Federation, Victorian and Edwardian homes in Mosman, Cremorne, Waverton and Hunters Hill present terracotta tiles, slate, steep pitches and heritage overlay constraints. Our mounting solutions protect original tile work while meeting both engineering and council requirements — and many installations qualify as exempt development even within an HCA.
Terraces, semis and period homes often have 20–40 m² of usable roof area. We specify high-efficiency panels (420–440 W) to maximise output from every available square metre, and pair them with a correctly sized battery so limited generation is stored and used — not exported at a low feed-in rate.
We request your half-hourly Ausgrid interval data via your NMI number and size your system from 12+ months of your actual consumption — not national averages. For a North Shore household with a specific work-from-home schedule, pool, EV or ducted A/C, generic estimates can be off by 30% or more.
Ausgrid's peak tariff (50–57¢/kWh, 4–9 pm weekdays) makes battery economics compelling on the Lower North Shore. We model your TOU profile and show exactly how many peak-period kWh a battery will displace each year — turning a rule-of-thumb payback estimate into a data-backed projection.
Share your NMI number and we pull your actual Ausgrid interval data. We also review your roof layout, aspect, heritage status and any strata constraints before making any recommendation.
We model your site in 3D to quantify annual shading losses from neighbouring buildings and vegetation, then size your solar and battery combination around your verified consumption and site constraints.
For strata properties we prepare OC submission documentation. For all properties we confirm heritage overlay and development consent status — so there are no surprises after installation.
Our accredited installers work with period roofing materials and tight urban access — including properties where equipment must be hand-carried through narrow side passages or up multiple flights.
System performance is monitored from day one. We follow up to confirm real-world output matches our modelled projection and flag any underperformance before it becomes a bill problem.

Smart EV charger integration that charges from solar surplus or off-peak grid power. Ideal for Mosman, Cremorne and Lane Cove households with a dedicated parking space.
Real-time consumption and generation monitoring. Integrates with your battery and EV charger for whole-home energy visibility.
Yes — but the pathway differs from a freestanding home. For strata buildings you typically need Owners Corporation (OC) approval, and the system may be treated as common property. EnerLogic can help you prepare a proposal for the OC committee, size a system around your lot's actual consumption using NMI data, and navigate embedded network or virtual net metering arrangements where applicable.
Dense urban environments like North Sydney, Crows Nest and Neutral Bay can see 10–30% shading losses from adjacent buildings, pergolas and street trees — especially in winter when the sun is low. We model your site in 3D using real shade-path data before recommending panel placement and inverter type. Where shading is unavoidable, microinverters or DC optimisers (Enphase / SolarEdge) recover output that a standard string inverter would lose entirely.
Absolutely. Many Lower North Shore homes in Mosman, Cremorne, Waverton and Hunters Hill were built in the Federation and Victorian eras with terracotta or slate tiles and steep roof pitches. We use tile-friendly mounting brackets that spread load across multiple tiles and avoid cracking. Steep pitches (30–45°) also tend to perform well in winter when the sun is lower, partially offsetting any summer reduction from non-optimal tilt.
Terraces and semis typically have north-facing roof areas of 20–40 m², which limits you to roughly 4–8 panels (1.6–3.2 kW) — but high-efficiency panels (420–440 W) make the most of limited space. We size the system from your actual NMI half-hourly data so you don't oversize for export that won't pay back, or undersize for a battery that won't fill. Even a modest rooftop system paired with a 5–10 kWh battery can cover 60–80% of a terrace's daily consumption.
Ausgrid's time-of-use tariffs charge 50–57¢/kWh during peak evening hours (4–9 pm on weekdays). A battery charged from solar or cheap overnight rates (off-peak ~13¢/kWh) can discharge during those expensive peaks, saving 37–44¢ per kWh shifted. For a household spending $3,500–$4,500 per year, this can cut bills by 50–70% when combined with a well-sized solar array.
Your NMI (National Metering Identifier) is a 10-digit number on your electricity bill that uniquely identifies your connection to the Ausgrid network. EnerLogic requests your half-hourly interval data from Ausgrid using this number — giving us 12+ months of your actual consumption patterns at 30-minute resolution. This is far more accurate than national averages or rule-of-thumb estimates, and ensures your system is sized to your real household.
Most residential solar installations qualify as exempt development under the NSW State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021 and do not require a DA — even in heritage conservation areas (HCAs), provided the panels are not visible from the street. The key exceptions are heritage-listed items (not just in an HCA but specifically listed) and some strata common-property roofs. EnerLogic checks your property's heritage status and council overlays before proceeding, and can assist with any necessary complying development or DA process.
