Real installs, real local homes
A few recent solar, battery, switchboard and EV jobs across the Sunshine Coast & Brisbane — every one handled by the licensed contractor.
Built by the Electrician, Not a Sales Team
Most solar companies are franchises or call centres that subcontract the actual install. Nuvolt is different — you deal with the licensed contractor who designs, installs and stands behind every system.
No sales reps
You speak directly to the licensed electrical contractor responsible for the design and install. No franchise rep, no call centre script.
Real electrical contractor
Daniel holds a current QLD electrical contractor licence (Lic# 92489) and is SAA accredited for solar and battery work.
Compliant installs
Every system is built to AS/NZS 3000, 5033 and 5139, with the appropriate Queensland electrical certificate provided on completion.
Clean switchboard work
Tidy layouts, proper labelling, RCBO protection, correct backup circuit separation. We treat the switchboard like a finished product, not an afterthought.
After-install support
We don’t disappear after handover. Monitoring, warranty support and any tweaks are handled directly by the installer.
Honest recommendations
Brand choice is based on your site, usage and warranty needs, not commission. We’ll happily talk you out of a bigger system when a smaller one does the job.
“I honestly wish I met Dan and Lara earlier, so professional, easy to deal with and very well priced. Far and above the other guys in the solar and battery game. Lara made sure we had all the correct data, and Dan did a site inspection before locking in pricing. The system is working brilliantly and the Fox app is so much better than our previous system. Highly recommend these guys.”
“Installed our solar battery, did a bang on job. Went above and beyond on the cabling too.”
“Very happy with battery and inverter install, attended as scheduled and did a great job.”
“I recently had a solar battery installed at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the service.”
“Had a battery and inverter installed by the team at Nuvolt and couldn't be happier. The workmanship was top notch.”
“Very neat and knowledgeable, great price as well for a local vs one of the big mobs, highly recommend.”

Common Questions
Straight answers on rebates, batteries, switchboards and grid connection, from the contractor actually doing the work.
Are you a real electrical contractor or a solar reseller?
Nuvolt is a licensed Queensland electrical contractor (Lic# 92489), not a sales franchise. Every quote, design and install is handled by the contractor directly.
Do you handle Energex approvals and grid connection paperwork?
Yes. We lodge the connection application, manage the export-limit configuration, and handle STC paperwork end-to-end so you don’t need to.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In most cases, yes. We assess your existing inverter, switchboard and load profile to recommend either a DC-coupled battery, an AC-coupled retrofit, or a hybrid inverter replacement.
Whole-home backup vs essential-circuit backup: what’s the difference?
Whole-home backup runs your entire switchboard during an outage and depends on inverter output, switchboard condition and load management. Essential-circuit backup runs only nominated circuits (fridge, lights, internet) and is usually simpler and cheaper to retrofit.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade for a battery?
Often, yes. Battery installs frequently require switchboard upgrades, RCBO protection, compliant labelling, suitable isolation and correct backup circuit separation. We assess this before quoting so the system is safe, compliant and practical.
What brands do you install?
Fox ESS, GoodWe, SolaX, SMA, Fronius, Enphase, Tesla, BYD, LG and other compliant inverters and batteries. The right choice depends on your site, usage and warranty priorities, not commission.
What about the federal battery rebate?
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program reduces upfront battery costs from 1 July 2025. We design rebate-eligible systems sized to your actual usage. The final rebate value depends on the system specifications and your situation.
Do you offer finance or payment plans?
Yes. Through our finance partner Brighte, you can spread the cost of your solar, battery or electrical upgrade across low fixed-rate repayments via a Brighte Green Loan (from 9.49% p.a., comparison rate 10.98% p.a.), subject to approval. Just let us know you’re interested in finance when you request your quote and we’ll walk you through the options.
What warranty do you offer?
10-year workmanship warranty on the installation, in addition to the manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters and batteries (typically 10 to 25 years depending on the product).
