St George's generous brick veneer rooftops and widespread pool ownership make it one of Sydney's best areas for solar ROI — but only when your system is sized for your actual loads, not a suburb average. We design from your real Ausgrid NMI data.
The combination of generous north-facing rooftops, widespread pool ownership and Ausgrid's peak tariffs makes St George one of Sydney's highest-ROI areas for solar — when it's designed properly.
Pool pumps are often the single largest controllable load in a St George home, drawing 1–2 kW for 6–10 hours daily in summer. We capture your pool pump cycles in your NMI interval data and schedule operation within peak solar generation hours — effectively running your pool on sunshine rather than grid power, and removing this load from your payback calculation entirely.
The 1960s–80s brick veneer homes that define much of St George and Bayside typically offer 40–70 m² of clear, north-facing gable roof — some of the best solar real estate in Sydney. Unlike terraces or apartments, there's room for 10–16 kW systems without compromise. We size to your actual loads, not the maximum the roof can fit.
We request your half-hourly Ausgrid interval data via your NMI number and build your system design around 12+ months of your actual household consumption — capturing pool pump cycles, A/C seasons, hot water schedules and your real occupancy pattern. Generic estimates miss these details and leave money on the table.
Ausgrid's 50–57¢/kWh peak tariff (4–9 pm weekdays) creates a strong battery arbitrage case. We model your specific TOU profile — identifying exactly how many peak kWh a battery will displace annually — and turn that into a data-backed payback projection, not a rule-of-thumb estimate.
St George's family-oriented, car-dependent suburbs are seeing rapid EV uptake. We integrate smart EV charging into the system design — scheduling charging from solar surplus during peak generation hours — so your commute is powered by your roof, not the grid.
We are not aligned to any single brand. Our recommendations are based on verified performance data and your household's real consumption. If a larger or smaller system better suits your situation, we'll say so rather than defaulting to a standard package.
Share your NMI number and we retrieve your Ausgrid half-hourly interval data. We identify your pool pump cycles, A/C season peaks and daily load profile before making any sizing recommendation.
We assess your roof's north-facing area, pitch and any shading from eaves or trees. Most St George brick veneer homes have ideal gable geometry — we confirm this and size the system to match your verified loads, not the roof maximum.
We outline a solar scheduling strategy for your pool pump and A/C — shifting these major loads into solar generation hours to maximise self-consumption and minimise grid draw during the peak tariff window.
Our accredited installers handle all electrical work, switchboard assessment, metering and Ausgrid grid connection paperwork.
We verify real-world output against our pre-installation model and follow up to confirm your pool and household savings are tracking to projection.
Premium Tier 1 panels. Larger systems (10–16 kW) available for brick veneer homes with generous north-facing gable roofs. Full CEC accreditation.
Tesla Powerwall, Sungrow and Alpha ESS solutions. Sized to your verified TOU peak-period discharge needs. NSW Battery Rebate ($2,400) applied at point of sale.
Smart timer integration that moves pool filtration cycles into peak solar hours — typically 10 am–3 pm — eliminating grid cost for this major load.
Smart EV charger installation with solar-priority scheduling. Charges from surplus solar generation before drawing grid power.
A typical in-ground pool pump draws 1–2 kW for 6–10 hours per day in summer, adding 6–20 kWh to daily consumption — equivalent to running a second household. If we don't account for your pool in system sizing, you'll end up with a system that covers your base household but leaves your pool running entirely on expensive grid power. EnerLogic sizes your system from your actual NMI interval data, which captures pool pump cycles, so your solar directly offsets this significant load.
Yes — Kogarah, Hurstville, Rockdale, Bexley, Padstow, Revesby and surrounding suburbs are all connected to the Ausgrid distribution network. This means you qualify for the NSW Battery Rebate ($2,400), access Ausgrid's time-of-use tariff rates, and EnerLogic can retrieve your interval data directly from Ausgrid using your NMI number.
Excellent for solar. The simple gable roofs common across St George's 1960s–80s brick veneer stock offer large, unobstructed north-facing planes — often 30–60 m² — with minimal penetrations or plant equipment to work around. Systems of 10–13 kW can comfortably fit, making these homes some of the best solar candidates in Sydney.
Ausgrid's peak tariff (50–57¢/kWh, 4–9 pm weekdays) creates a large arbitrage opportunity. A battery charged from solar during the day discharges into evening household loads — avoiding those peak rates entirely. For a St George household with a pool, ducted A/C and 2–3 occupants, a 10–13 kWh battery can eliminate most peak-period grid draw, reducing quarterly bills by $300–$500.
Your NMI (National Metering Identifier) is a 10-digit number on your electricity bill that uniquely identifies your Ausgrid connection. EnerLogic requests your half-hourly interval data from Ausgrid using this number — giving us 12+ months of your real consumption at 30-minute resolution. This captures your pool pump cycles, A/C seasons and household patterns far more accurately than national averages.
St George homes typically achieve solar payback in 4–6 years for a well-sized solar-only system, and 5–8 years with a battery. The generous roof space on brick veneer homes allows larger systems (10–13 kW) that maximise STC rebate value, while pool and A/C loads provide strong daytime self-consumption.
Yes — and the combination works particularly well on a brick veneer home with a large solar array. A smart EV charger can be scheduled to charge from solar surplus between 10 am and 3 pm, effectively fuelling your car for free on sunny days. EnerLogic integrates the EV charging load into your NMI-based system design so the solar and battery are sized for the combined household-plus-EV need.
