Solar battery installation in Ocean Shores
Plenty of Ocean Shores homes went solar years ago and still watch the meter spin every evening while their daytime power got sold off for cents. A battery keeps it. Sized and installed by a licensed electrician based ten minutes away.

The estate went solar early. Now it's battery time.
Ocean Shores was quick on solar, drive the estate and half the roofs carry panels, plenty of them installed back when feed-in tariffs made exporting worthwhile. Those tariffs are long gone. Today that exported power earns a fraction of the peak rates you pay every evening, which is exactly the gap a battery closes.
The retrofit question is the real work here. A lot of Ocean Shores systems are older, some pair with a modern battery straight away, some need an inverter upgrade first, and some undersized early setups are worth replacing as a combined system while we're at it. Your switchboard age matters too, especially in the original estate homes. None of that is knowable from a phone script; all of it changes the quote.
And when storm season drags lines down between here and Brunswick, the right setup keeps your fridge, lights and internet running while the grid sorts itself out. We're ten minutes away in Mullumbimby, on Ocean Shores roofs every week, and the electrician who quotes it leads the install.

What Northern Rivers Locals Say
"We had a 10kW system paired with a Tesla Powerwall installed, and the power bill savings were immediate. The setup looks sleek on the roof, and the battery gives us total peace of mind. Couldn't be happier with the equipment and installation!"
Mark T
"Coxy's service was amazing throughout the entire process. He was super professional, took the time to explain everything clearly, and actually felt trustworthy unlike some of the other solar companies I had been quoted by who felt like they just wanted a quick sale."
Sarah M.
"First call with Coxy was great, he was very knowledgable. Install process was smooth and fast. Couldn't recommend Coxy and the team more!"
Jamie L.
My solar was installed over a decade ago, will a battery work with it?
Depends on the inverter, and Ocean Shores has plenty of both answers. Some older systems take a modern battery cleanly, others need an inverter swap to pair properly, and the smallest early setups are sometimes better replaced outright. We check on-site and give you the honest option, with numbers, not a pitch.
How much battery do we actually need?
It comes down to what your home draws between sunset and sleep. We look at your real evening usage rather than a standard package too small and you're back on the grid by 9pm, too big and you've paid for capacity that never cycles. Right-sizing is the whole job.
Will it keep the power on when storms take the lines down?
With the right setup, yes, essential circuits keep running when the street goes dark. Storm season is the single biggest reason Ocean Shores locals call us about batteries, and at the assessment we'll show you exactly which circuits stay live.
