What we do

From quick diagnostics
to full off-grid builds.

Lithium upgrades

AGM to lithium conversion done properly β€” battery, BMS, charging system, isolator, and cabling all matched and configured. Don't just swap batteries; upgrade the system.

Solar installation

Roof and portable solar systems sized for your actual usage. We design, install, and commission β€” including roof mounting, cable runs, MPPT controllers, and monitoring.

12V fault diagnosis

Lights not working? Charger not charging? Fridge cutting out? Mystery battery drain? We trace faults systematically rather than guessing.

Inverter installations

Pure sine wave inverters sized for your appliances. Proper installation with battery protection, transfer switches, and load management.

DC-DC chargers

Tow vehicle alternator to caravan battery charging. Properly sized and isolated, with low-voltage cutoff to protect your vehicle's start battery.

Battery monitoring

Smart battery monitors that show actual state of charge, current draw, and historical usage. Know exactly what your system is doing.

240V & RCD work

Mains power systems including new outlet installs, RCD upgrades, and compliance certification. Licensed work to AS/NZS standards.

Starlink installations

Roof-mount or portable Starlink installs with proper power conditioning and mounting. Full off-grid internet, properly done.

Off-grid system design

Building from scratch? Upgrading? We design complete off-grid power systems β€” battery, solar, charging, inverter, monitoring β€” sized for your real usage.

Lithium upgrades β€” done properly

Lithium done wrong is dangerous. Done right, it's transformative.

The single most common service request we get is a "lithium upgrade." About half of those calls are from people who've already had it done badly elsewhere β€” wrong battery, wrong charger, wrong wiring, wrong BMS. Some are dangerous. Some are unsafe to camp with.

Lithium isn't just a battery swap. It's a system change. The charging profile is different, the voltage cutoffs are different, the cable sizing changes, the BMS needs proper integration with your DC-DC charger and solar controller. Done right, you get 3-4x the usable capacity in less weight, with a battery that lasts a decade. Done wrong, you get a fire risk and warranty-voided components.

  • Proper system design
  • Matched charging profiles
  • Correct cable sizing
  • BMS integration
  • Documented & tested

Common questions

Caravan electrical work,
explained.

Yes. Caravan 12V and solar work is performed under automotive electrical qualifications. 240V mains work is performed by licensed electricians (or coordinated through them) and certified to AS/NZS 3001. We can provide certificates of compliance where required.
Yes β€” and we'd recommend a full system review when doing so, not just a battery swap. We assess your current charging system, DC-DC charger, solar controller, cable sizes, and inverter compatibility. Where any of those need upgrading to safely run lithium, we'll quote them in. Done right, lithium is a one-time investment that lasts.
Depends entirely on your usage. We start by asking what you actually run β€” fridge, lights, fans, charging, induction cooking, A/C β€” and how often you camp without mains power. From there we calculate daily consumption and size accordingly. Generic 'one size fits all' solar advice usually leads to undersized or massively oversized systems.
Often, yes. Fridges that cut out at random are usually getting unstable voltage β€” either from worn cabling, a tired battery, or a charging system that's not maintaining adequate float voltage. Diagnostic visit will identify the cause.
Yes. We do roof-mount and portable Starlink installs. Roof-mount needs a properly designed mounting plate and weatherproofing, plus power conditioning since Starlink draws significant 12V. We supply and install both ways depending on your preference.
Depending on the scope, anywhere from a half-day (battery + BMS + DC-DC) to a full day plus a return visit (full system design with new solar and charging). We'll quote your specific situation upfront.
We can do either. If you've already bought components, we'll install them β€” but we'll be honest if we think you've bought the wrong thing for your setup before we install it. Our preferred approach is to design the system first, then source components matched to the design.
