CUSTOMERS SAY

“Our Watson home now produces more power than we use on most days. Meta’s design was spot-on — they assessed our roof thoroughly and sized the system perfectly. Bills down 84%. Wonderful team.”

Patricia H.
Watson · 8kW System

“Had concerns about installing on our older Hackett home but Meta put those to rest immediately. Sensitive, tidy installation and the battery means we’re grid-independent in the evenings. Couldn’t be happier.”

Andrew G.
Hackett · 6.6kW + Battery

“Our commercial system has completely transformed our energy costs. Meta managed everything — design, install, grid export approval. We’re saving over $3,000 a year. Exceptional work.”

Yes — we service all North Canberra suburbs including Dickson, Watson, Hackett, Downer, Ainslie, Braddon, Reid, Turner, Lyneham and O’Connor. Our Canberra-based team provides fast turnaround throughout the inner north.

Most older homes in Dickson, Watson and Hackett are well-suited to solar. Our team assesses roof condition, orientation and electrical infrastructure as part of a free site assessment. Some homes require a switchboard upgrade which we quote upfront — no hidden costs.

Yes — this is a specialty of ours for inner north Canberra. We plan installations that minimise visual impact on heritage homes while maximising solar performance. Many solutions involve strategic panel placement that’s not visible from the street.
