If yourself, do you need an electrician to install them? I have got only provisions from W too. I plan to install myself. The provisions come as 3 pin socket. We just need to plug in the down light and push it in the cut out. So dont need an electrician. Building Ambassador 36 - Wisdom Homes Yep got provisioned with W, they will cut the hole and run the cables to it and terminate with a 3 pin socket. Just buy down lights which has the transformer and plug like below and plug it in yourself.

Looks like a good deal but I would hope that you receive a consultation to review your energy needs before having to decide on this. Agreed - We are doing ours after handover as the largest panels they could do was 6kw which would not generate enough power to use the battery at all. We are getting 15kw on the roof. A lot of people think if they have a battery it will solve all their bills but you need to have enough panels to make this work properly It’s really unfortunate as we would have preferred W to do it so it could be roughed in prior to completion for a much nicer look but not to worry. 15kw is pretty big. How did you determine what you can fit on your roof? Which panels are you getting? The guys doing my solar got a plan of my roof and have placed them on it to see what fits where and also any issue re shading etc My roof space is 360m2 so have plenty of room and I’m getting 325w LG panels. I will also be having 3 phase power hence the 15kw[/quote] Do you have the diagram of your roof with panel alignment? I'm building a Manhattan 44ens and think I can only fit 6-7kw along the garage side length (north facing) it's above the laundry/home theater and main living space. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 10547Apr 24, 2018 1:35 pm ajayshekar - tiles to alfresco is an optional extra. we were quoted 2500. we opted out at the last minute because we were leaning towards extension of alfresco with decking. Now that the council said No to decking we will be looking at concrete alfresco until things sort out with council on what we can do and what not! Plan is to go for concrete extension with tiles and pergola after handover. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 10548Apr 24, 2018 1:41 pm we have wisdom to do tiling to the alfresco as extra and then ask wisdom to do extra 20 m2 of concrete extension with matching tile. I have the alfresco area tiling with matching tile with the ground floor main floor tile.

Now that the council said No to decking we will be looking at concrete alfresco until things sort out with council on what we can do and what not! Plan is to go for concrete extension with tiles and pergola after handover. I was actually thinking of decking and extending the alfresco area now that W aren't tiling. Hope Blacktown council allow it. Building Ambassador 36 - Wisdom Homes Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 10550Apr 24, 2018 3:45 pm psur2357 - how much is extension costing you? ajayshekar - We are with Hills shire & the restriction is due to bushfire, so you will be alright. After handover and certificate etc, I don't think you need to approach council for decking as long as you compliance with the rules of step down.
