Solar + Battery Integration
Builder, Architect & Developer Coordination
Future-Ready Home Energy Planning
MPV Solar designs and installs new build solar and battery systems across Sydney, working with homeowners, builders, architects and developers to integrate solar into the property from the planning and construction stage.
Planning solar early allows the roof layout, inverter location, electrical infrastructure, battery requirements and future household energy use to be considered before the home is complete.
Installing solar as part of a new home gives you an opportunity to design the system around the property rather than adapting the property later. Early new build solar planning can help optimise panel placement, roof space, inverter positioning, cable pathways and electrical infrastructure while considering future battery storage.
It also means the solar system can be sized around how the finished home is expected to use electricity, rather than simply installing a minimum-size system.

A new home’s electricity requirements can be very different from an older property. Modern homes may need to support air conditioning, electric cooking, electric hot water, swimming pools, home offices, battery storage and increasing household electricity demand.
MPV Solar designs solar for new homes in Sydney around both expected energy use today and how the home may change in the future. The aim is to create a new home solar system that delivers useful long-term generation, rather than treating solar as an afterthought at the end of construction.
MPV Solar works with builders to make solar installation for new homes easier to coordinate within the construction program. Engaging the solar team earlier means roof layouts, equipment positions and electrical requirements can be reviewed before decisions become expensive or difficult to change.
For builders, this can create a smoother transition from solar design and documentation through to installation, commissioning and handover. MPV Solar already delivers new-build solar projects in Sydney, including commercial facilities where solar was incorporated as part of the construction and compliance process.
MPV Solar can also work with architects and property developers during the planning and specification stages of residential and commercial projects. Early solar input can help account for suitable roof areas, shading, orientation, inverter locations, electrical infrastructure and opportunities for battery storage.
For multi-property or commercial developments, the design can also consider future energy demand, expandability and long-term operating costs. For business or development projects, see MPV Solar’s Commercial Solar solutions.
New residential developments in NSW are subject to BASIX requirements covering water, energy use and thermal performance. A BASIX certificate is required for new houses, dual occupancies and multi-unit residential development proposals.
Solar photovoltaic systems can contribute to the energy performance of a new home, with BASIX taking the rated output, orientation and roof slope of proposed PV systems into account.
Current whole-of-home energy-efficiency requirements also consider onsite renewable energy such as rooftop solar alongside major household energy loads. MPV Solar can work alongside your builder, designer or energy assessor to deliver the solar system specified for your project.
Potentially, yes. A solar system selected purely to satisfy a building requirement may not necessarily be the best size for the household’s long-term electricity consumption. When planning solar for a new home, it is worth considering future air conditioning, pools, electric appliances, battery charging and other increasing household loads.
MPV Solar can assess whether increasing the proposed solar capacity during construction is likely to create a more useful system for the homeowner. The NSW Government’s current Solar for Apartment Residents program specifically supports eligible shared rooftop solar projects for apartment buildings and multi-unit dwellings.
A new build is an ideal time to consider whether solar and battery storage should be designed together. Installing a battery from day one may suit homes that expect significant evening electricity consumption or want to use more of their solar generation after sunset.
Even when a battery is not being installed immediately, the home can potentially be planned with future battery storage in mind, including equipment location and electrical requirements.

A new build provides an opportunity to think beyond the solar panels themselves.
The solar and battery system can be planned around the home’s expected electricity profile, including daytime generation, evening consumption, battery capacity and future increases in energy demand.
This can make future expansion easier and reduce the risk of installing a solar system that the household quickly outgrows.
There is no single correct new home solar system size. The right capacity depends on the home’s expected electricity consumption, available roof space, orientation, shading, number of occupants and future electrical loads.
MPV Solar considers the whole household energy profile before recommending system capacity.
A larger home with substantial air conditioning, a pool and future battery storage may require a very different solar system from a smaller energy-efficient home.
Even if a battery isn’t part of the initial build budget, it can make sense to consider battery-ready home design while the property is under construction.
Planning ahead can help identify a suitable battery location, electrical requirements, inverter strategy and how future storage could integrate with the solar system.
This gives the homeowner more flexibility to add battery storage later without treating it as a completely separate energy project.
MPV Solar can provide new build solar solutions across Sydney for standalone homes, duplexes, townhouses, multi-unit projects and commercial developments.
The design approach changes according to the project, but the principle remains the same: plan the solar and electrical infrastructure before construction decisions limit your options.
For larger shared residential developments, a dedicated strata solar approach may be more appropriate.
MPV Solar also delivers solar systems for new commercial buildings and facilities across Sydney.
For commercial projects, early solar planning can support electrical coordination, roof design, energy efficiency requirements and future battery expansion.
MPV Solar’s Alexandria new-build project incorporated a 9.24 kW solar system into a new commercial facility, with engineering, documentation and grid approval coordinated around the construction program.

The earlier, the better. Ideally, new build solar should be considered while the roof, electrical system and energy requirements are still being planned. MPV Solar can review architectural or building plans before installation to identify potential panel layouts, equipment positions and future battery requirements. You do not need to wait until the house is finished to start discussing solar.
MPV Solar starts by understanding the proposed home and how it is expected to use electricity. We can review the building plans, roof design, expected energy consumption, proposed electrical infrastructure, solar capacity and battery requirements. From there, we can recommend a new build solar system designed around the finished property and coordinate the installation with the construction process.
Solar is much easier to integrate when it is considered as part of the building rather than added after every other design decision has been made. MPV Solar can work with your homeowner, builder, architect or developer team to plan solar generation, battery storage and future energy requirements from the start.

Ideally, solar should be discussed during the design or early construction stages. This allows roof space, inverter location, electrical infrastructure and future battery requirements to be considered before the build is complete.
New NSW homes must meet applicable BASIX and energy-efficiency requirements. Rooftop solar can contribute to a home’s energy performance, but the exact commitments depend on the individual BASIX assessment and approved design.
Solar PV can be included within the BASIX energy assessment. BASIX considers details including the proposed PV system’s rated output, roof slope and orientation.
This depends on your building contract and construction arrangements. If you want MPV Solar involved, it is best to discuss solar with your builder early so responsibilities, timing and site access can be coordinated.
The right size depends on expected electricity consumption, roof space, orientation, household size, air conditioning, pools, electric appliances and future battery requirements.
It can make sense where the household expects significant evening energy use or wants to store more solar electricity. Even if the battery comes later, planning a battery-ready new home during construction can make future integration easier.
Solar installation can be coordinated with the construction program, but the timing depends on roof completion, electrical works, site safety and project requirements.
Yes. MPV Solar can work with homeowners, builders, architects and project teams to coordinate the solar design and installation requirements.
Yes. MPV Solar can assess new homes, duplexes, townhouses and multi-unit developments. Larger shared properties may require a strata or shared-solar design.
Potentially, yes. Designing the initial system with future solar and battery expansion in mind can make later upgrades easier, although inverter capacity, roof space, network requirements and equipment compatibility still need to be considered.
