We can help you choose the system that is right for you based on your power needs, your roof size, orientation and other factors about your home (such as potential shading). Grid Connect solar systems are called a variety of things including on-grid, grid-connected and grid-tie. These all relate to a system where a home will already be connected to the mains supplied power.
LJW Solar has the experience of installing thousands of Off Grid Solar systems for Australian customers for over 30 years. Stand Alone, SAPs or Off Grid Solar power systems are solar systems that run independently from the utility mains. If grid power is too far away or too expensive to install, a Stand Alone Solar system is a great solution to your energy needs.
A Hybrid system is simply a grid connect system that also allows for the storage of the excess power created, and for this power to be stored in a battery system allowing the power to be used when the solar is no longer producing, especially in Peak power tariff periods. There is a growing demand for Hybrid / Grid Storage systems that contain elements of both.

Helpful and consistent work. I contacted LJW Solar first and should have stopped there. I was given time to shop around but along the way LJW was happy to answer questions the other guys just didn't want to hear. The installers were exactly the same guys who worked on my mates house and they were very professional and courteous. They installed a very efficient battery ready 6 kW pv system neatly and designed to the needs of my family. These guys are trustworthy and I feel very confident with their work. Thanks again team LJW Solar!

Original system which was 10 years old degraded to the point where it would not be supported by the original provider / installer nor the manufacturer.
Was referred to LJW by the original provider and after serious review of the original installation the decision was taken to remove it and replace the entire system – upgraded in capacity and also to ensure total compliance with current standards – which the original system did not.
The quotation was discussed and the design finalised with LJW effecting the removal and replacement in the advised time.
System is three phase, twenty Q cell

Unfortunately I did not have the same experience as the other writers here - I wish I did and wish I was posting 5 stars like you guys. We live in Arcadia so the obvious choice was to go with the locals, so if you have a problem, it's not hard for someone to pop out.
Installation was first class and everything has been great. Unfortunately it was when the first thing went wrong that my opinion changed. Firstly it took two emails, a phone call and then a contact submission on their website to gets someone to call me. Then the answer was "Sure we can come out to have a look at it, and by the way

We spent $64,000 on an off-grid solar system with LJW Solar.
The install was quoted with a kubota generator to be connected as the backup generator. We had been using the generator on a different solar setup on the other side of the farm for 12 months working flawlessly with the auto start.
On the day of the install after 2 hours for the installer trying to connect the generator (after me obtaining the kubota schematics from the kubota technician in Melbourne) he called his boss and said he couldn't get it going. The boss told him not to spend any more time on it and that they have no more time

This company is true professional solar company.
I have my solar inverter stopped working. I had 4 solar company quotes and LJW came with very fair rate where they will charge based on half an hour rate rather than hourly rate.
They informed me half an hour is more than enough to troubleshoot all the issue
I just received phone call today, rather than buying new inverter they found the issue of my solar inverter problem.
First, I recommend for others to have this company a go for any issues on your solar panel anytime
Secondly, I wouldn't bother to search other company for my solar panel purpose
