SERVICING LISMORE FOR 20+ YEARS
Removal done right, documented right
Lismore has more reasons than most towns to need solar removed properly. Storm and water-affected systems can be compromised in ways that don't show from the ground, damaged isolators, degraded wiring, panels that still produce live DC voltage even when the system looks dead. A system that's been through weather damage isn't safe to leave, and it definitely isn't safe for a non-electrician to pull down.
There's also the paperwork side, and in Lismore it matters twice over. Insurance claims need the damage documented by a licensed electrician before anything comes off the roof, and every removal needs a permanent disconnection lodged with Essential Energy so nothing haunts your bills later. We handle both as part of the job, photos, reports, lodgement, done.
And if the removal is clearing the way for something better, a rebuild, a re-roof, or a modern system on a home that's already been through its upgrades, we'll give you an honest read on the options while we're up there. No obligation either way.

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!"

Our system went through flood damage, is it dangerous to leave up?
It can be. Water-affected solar can have compromised isolators, connectors and wiring while still producing live DC whenever the sun's out and the damage often isn't visible from the ground. If your system's been through a flood or major storm, get it assessed before anyone touches it, including a roofer or builder working on the house.
Will you document the damage for my insurance claim?
Yes, that's standard on damage removals. You get a licensed electrician's assessment with photos and a written report before removal, which is exactly what insurers ask for. We'd rather you claim properly than pay out of pocket for weather you didn't cause.
The house is being rebuilt — when in the process should the panels come off?
Before any roof or structural work starts. Builders and roofers can't legally touch a solar system, so we isolate and remove first, and if the panels are worth keeping we can store and reinstall them once the new roof's on or quote a modern system for the fresh start.
