What do our customers say?
Our solar panel installation was carried out in a very timely, professional and efficient manner. The installation team were very neat and tidy and all very likeable skilled fellows. The Electrical Inspector spoke very highly of all Watter’s installations saying we will have no problems with this system.
We had a 6kw solar system installed by Watters in our home in Albury, our power bill went from $150 to $60 a month. The installation team took care around my home and garden. Top level service. I would recommend them to anyone looking for Solar in Albury.
After having a 6.6KW solar system installed on my home by Watter’s Electrical, I was extremely impressed with the workmanship and the quality of the installation. The service and communication from start to finish was fantastic, and the timeliness of the install was great. The response I received after raising a small concern that required attention was nothing short of excellent. Blake and the team sent the installer out immediately to rectify the issue, following up shortly after to ensure everything was sorted. I couldn’t recommend them higher, and I was extremely impressed with the customer service and response from Blake to ensure I was happy.
We got soooooo many solar quotes, but these guys offered a better inverter, panels and warranty than all the others at around 2/3 the price??!! I dealt with Troy and he was great. Easy installation. Panels and inverter are working well. Would definitely recommend. Wish I knew this, before doing the ring around. But there ya go.

An average hot water system for a 3 or 4 person home can easily consume 4 kWh of electricity per day alone. This can chew up a large portion of your off-grid power. Gas hot water may also not be feasible if your goal is an all-electric home.
Another option is solar hot water or, more preferably, a heat pump hot water system. These systems typically use around 60 to 75% less electricity than a conventional electric hot water system – as stated by sustainability.vic.gov.au

Absolutely! LED lighting has come a long way and is now a standard in energy-efficient homes. When numerous lights are used for a few hours each day, choosing efficient lighting can add big savings.

Not necessarily. However, some simple adjustments to your daily routine can earn you some electricity savings.
The principle is straightforward: use your bigger appliances when the sun is out.
Do your washing and vacuuming during the day, so that you are using electricity supplied directly from your panels rather than discharging your batteries.
For smaller off-grid power systems, you may want to load-share by staggering the use of your high draw appliances such as toasters, microwaves and kettles etc. This will reduce the requirement for a large off-grid inverter which will save you even more money on system cost.
Most importantly, if you have any doubts or concerns about what size system you will need, call us – we are here to help.
