Kew Modern Residence Solar + Battery Energy System

A carefully engineered solar and battery system for a contemporary two-storey residence in Kew, designed around a constrained Colorbond roof and the owner’s long-term electrification plans.

Project Overview

This Kew residence required a solar and battery solution that balanced energy performance with a clean architectural outcome. The long, narrow Colorbond roof included skylights and rooftop services, limiting available installation space and requiring a considered array design.

Client Objectives

Increase onsite solar generation while preserving the home’s appearance.

Create a future-ready energy system for a high-performing modern residence.

Integrate solar, battery storage and hybrid-inverter technology through one coordinated project.

System Design

10.12kW solar PV system

Sungrow SH10RT hybrid inverter

Sungrow SBH250 battery

Colorbond metal roof

Combination of tilt-mounted and flush-mounted solar arrays

Engineering Approach

The elongated roof geometry, skylights and existing rooftop equipment meant a conventional single-array design would not make full use of the available area. Maxwell Energy developed a mixed mounting approach: selected sections were tilt-mounted to improve array orientation, while other sections followed the roof profile to preserve visual consistency and use the remaining suitable space.

The result was a tailored 10.12kW solar system integrated with Sungrow hybrid and battery technology, designed as a coordinated residential energy solution rather than a standard product installation.
