Project Type
Residential System Upgrade
Brand we use
Project Overview
The existing solar system at this Lilydale home was ageing and limiting what the available roof space could deliver.
Rather than adding new equipment around the old system, Bespoke Solar removed the existing setup and designed a complete replacement combining high-efficiency solar, battery storage and EV charging.
The new system was planned around the homeowner’s current energy needs while also preparing the property for the years ahead.
Thinking about replacing an older solar system?
We can assess whether upgrading, expanding or starting fresh will deliver the better long-term outcome.

The Challenge
An Older System Was Holding the Roof Back
The existing installation was no longer making the best use of the available roof area.
Building around older equipment would have limited the flexibility and performance of the new system, so a complete replacement offered a better long-term solution.
How We Solved It
Start Fresh, Design It as One System
Bespoke Solar removed the ageing equipment and redesigned the property’s energy system from the ground up.
High-efficiency solar panels, battery storage and EV charging were planned together, allowing each part of the system to work as part of one complete solution.
The Outcome
More From the Same Roof
8 kW
New solar system
17 kWh
Battery storage
7 kW
Home EV charging
The homeowner now has a modern energy system designed to generate more from the available roof space, store solar energy for later use and support EV charging at home.
Is Your Existing Solar System Ready for What Comes Next?
Sometimes the best upgrade is replacing an ageing system with one designed around how you use energy today.

From the Client
Starting fresh with a new solar, battery and EV charging setup was definitely the right move for us. The whole system feels much better suited to how we use energy now.
