Hinterland acreage homes deserve electrical that keeps up with their solar ambitions. We upgrade old switchboards to accept solar inverters, wire battery systems like Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, and integrate EV charging with solar — so your home runs the way it should.
Acreage homeowners in Doonan and Eumundi come to us because their old switchboards simply aren't ready for solar or battery storage. Large roof areas, sustainability-minded owners, and older fuse boards that need upgrading before any solar system can be safely connected — that's exactly where we specialise.
From solar-ready switchboard upgrades to full battery storage wiring — every job is delivered with the care and expertise that Doonan and Eumundi acreage homes deserve.
Doonan and Eumundi have some of the best roof areas in the Sunshine Coast hinterland — large acreage homes, north-facing rooflines, and sustainability-minded owners who want to generate and store their own power. The problem is the switchboard.
A modern switchboard installed for an acreage property in the Doonan hinterland. Solar isolators fitted, dedicated battery circuit added, RCDs on every circuit, and capacity sized for a future EV charger — everything the solar installer needs to connect safely and quickly.
Many solar companies in the hinterland refer their customers to us directly because they know we'll have the switchboard ready to connect. We coordinate with your solar or battery installer to ensure the electrical work is done exactly to their specs — no delays, no callbacks, no surprises on installation day.
Pip Electrics is a locally owned electrical business that knows the Doonan and Eumundi hinterland inside out. When you book us for a switchboard upgrade or battery storage wiring job, you're working with a licensed electrician who understands what acreage homes need — and what solar installers expect to find when they arrive.
We've worked on properties across the Noosa hinterland — from modest acreage blocks to large lifestyle properties — upgrading switchboards, wiring battery systems, and integrating EV charging with solar. We know the local grid, understand the load requirements of hinterland homes, and work cleanly so you're ready for the next step.
"We'd been trying to go solar for two years but kept hitting the same issue — our old switchboard wasn't up to scratch. Pip came out, assessed the board, and within a week we had a brand new solar-ready switchboard with dedicated isolators installed. Our solar system was connected the following week without a single hitch. He made the whole process simple and explained everything clearly."
"Had Pip wire in a Sungrow battery system to our existing solar setup in Eumundi. The job was more involved than I expected — switchboard modifications, gateway wiring, the lot — but Pip handled it all seamlessly and liaised directly with our solar company. The battery was commissioned the same week and has been performing perfectly. Couldn't be happier."
"We wanted an EV charger but also didn't want it drawing from the grid when the solar was generating. Pip set up the whole thing — switchboard upgrade, dedicated EV circuit, solar integration — so the car charges from our panels during the day. The setup has been flawless and our electricity bill has basically disappeared. Highly recommended for anyone in the Doonan area."
"We're on acreage outside Eumundi and had the grid go down a few times last year. Pip installed off-grid backup circuits so our fridge, lights, and water pump all stay on from battery when there's an outage. He really understood the priorities for a rural property — knew exactly which loads mattered and set it up perfectly. We haven't worried about a blackout since."
Switchboard upgrade, battery wiring, or EV + solar — we'll get back to you within one business hour.
Serving Doonan, Eumundi, Cooroy, Tinbeerwah, Verrierdale & the Noosa hinterland.
