Any tips, tricks or things to look out for We are planning to get extra down lights provisioned and supply and install the lights later ourselves. And add a few more power points What else have you done extra? - multiple data points - in bedrooms, theatre room and lounge room if you don't want to rely on wifi. Suggested. - outside lighting - outside power points including for Christmas lights if you have them - provision for garden lighting later - ceiling fans - extra support in ceiling for heavy feature lights and ceiling fans - ceiling power points in outside leisure for heaters/ tv etc - the biggest challenge was position of the NBN and box if running a small network Building Manhattan 44 Ens + Savannah Elite facade KDRB Tender Accepted 26/03/18; Contract signed 27/05/18; CDC submission 24/10/18; End Panel 13/02/2019; Slab 19/03/2019 Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13338Nov 15, 2018 6:05 am champs2018 MandM+4 champs2018 Whats the minimum kw suggested by wisdom for solar panels. We got ours and tgey suggested only 3kw which we feel is very less. Our current house is a 2 bedroom house and our usage is obviously less..but we are building a 5 bedroom house and tge usage would go up. Isn't 3kw too less?? Yes, we have solar hot water and still need a 6kw system. If you have natural gas HWS and heating you might be ok with less. Thanks and how much did it cost for 6kw?? There are lots of variable out there and factors to consider. Ie. what is the size of your north and west facing roof line. Do you want panel level monitoring or just daily output. I’m getting 1.7kw BIPV (Solar roof tiles) on my west facing (front of home) roof line to preserve the look and a year later will add another 5.5kw (standard PV panels) to my north facing roof line. I’m building a Manhattan 44 ens. Hope it helps Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13339Nov 15, 2018 6:45 am There are lots of variable out there and factors to consider.

We plan to get it done later post handover. Re: Building with Wisdom Homes 13340Nov 15, 2018 8:59 am Solar - My husband calculated our needs based on our energy usage, household size, and future battery use (to hopefully not utilise the grid) etc and determined we needed at least 8kW. We're getting 8.25kW for about $8k. Electrical - agree with what has been posted, we also installed USB power, lots of data points, changed the termination point location from the garage to the downstair storeroom, downlight provision to install our own later, outdoor lighting/heating/fan, gas points for BBQ/potential heater, extra supports for TV mounting, CAT6a cables, power point in the laundry cupboard for the Dyson stick.
