Solar and battery storage are rapidly becoming standard features in both residential and commercial developments. For builders and developers, the challenge is understanding how the technology, compliance requirements and economics have evolved and how to integrate energy systems into projects without adding cost or complexity.
This breakfast panel will bring together installers, system designers and equipment manufacturers to provide a practical industry update for 2026. Through real project case studies, the panel will explore how solar and battery systems are being incorporated into new developments, what they cost, and how builders can avoid common design and installation mistakes.
The discussion will also cover key compliance frameworks and rating schemes including NABERS and Green Star, along with emerging expectations around electrification, EV readiness and building performance.
Designed for both residential and commercial builders, this session will provide a clear overview of the latest technology, pricing trends and practical considerations for integrating solar and storage into new builds.
