Work Cedar can review

  • New rooftop solar-panel installations for suitable homes and property
  • Adding battery storage where it forms part of an accepted solar project
  • Extension or upgrade of an existing solar installation where compatibility can be checked
  • Fault or under-performance enquiries where existing equipment and symptoms are documented
  • Roofing or making-good work directly connected with an accepted solar installation
