25.01.2022 We thought we'd make a quick 'Tik Tok' style video where the Father's Day gift ideas are the star performers! Next time we might include a few of the team so they can show some of their own moves! DON'T Forget ... we are open until 12.30pm on Saturday if you need to grab a great gift for your Dad/Hubby!

19.01.2022 BARGAIN ALERT! 50% OFF A RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL TOYS, GAMES, GADGETS AND OTHER STUFF .... We are busy planning our Christmas gift range and need to free up some space in the store over the next few weeks so there's a mix of products that we've just marked marked down to clear. There'll be no holds, no lay bys and no further discounts on this CLEARANCE stock. Once it's gone, it's gone so hurry in and grab a bargain!

18.01.2022 We are proud to announce that Solar Mad was recently appointed to a very selective group! LG Solar Australia has recognised Solar Mad as being one of the most reputable and reliable solar installation businesses in Australia. We've become the only accredited LG commercial installer in the Riverina and MIA region of NSW. We are now able to offer our commercial and agribusiness customers PV panels and other extra's that are not available through any other solar businesses in Australia aside from the 25 businesses in this exclusive network. #GriffithRepresent #solarisbest

18.01.2022 Considering getting solar at your place? It's important undertake some research first. There are so many resources available that it can be overwhelming but we tend to guide people towards CHOICE - an independent research and consumer advocacy group that's been around for 60 years (visit choice.com.au and search for solar panels) and to LG who have a significant number of resources to help you determine if solar is right for your home or business. The LG Solar Australia site has a number of different videos (all only around 2-3 minutes long) and calculators including one that will show you if and when you might get a 'pay back' from a new solar system. https://www.lgenergy.com.au//solar-savings-payback-calcula

18.01.2022 How’s the internet at your packing shed, regional office or even at your family home? If you’re relying on mobile internet, we have a solution that will improve the reliability and speed of the signal. The Cellferno is typically used in regional and remote areas where a traditional fibre or cable-based internet service isn’t available. It captures and boosts a 4G signal to deliver fast ‘mobile internet’. The uniquely designed box contains multiple antennas and a built-in mod...em to capture the best possible outdoor signal and bring it inside. You can use any sim card provider and mobile data plan. The Cellferno device by Powertec Telecommunications can be connected directly to a computer, network switch or a WIFI access point to provide high-speed internet to devices within a relatively wide area so it’s perfect for agri-businesses with multiple sites on a property. Here’s one we installed at AGnVET Services office in Weethalle last week. From all accounts it’s working like a charm!

18.01.2022 SNEAK PEEK! Here's out latest TV commercial which is set to go to air later this week. Our Facebook followers can see it here first! This commercial promotes the products that we sell in our store (an official Jaycar Electronics stockist) which help BOOST poor mobile phone and internet signals. We are selling a large number of these 'booster' systems to people who need more reliable communications. Give us a shout on 6964 0976 to learn more about how they work and why they are well worth the money.

16.01.2022 One of the many reasons we recommend LG Solar Australia panels is because they offer a very generous product warranty. LG is so confident that their panels are the best quality PV panels on the market that they offer a 25-year product warranty on their NEON range - which is 15 YEARS MORE than most other brands. LG offer a full replacement warranty so if a solar panel fails, they will replace it with a brand new panel and it won’t cost you a cent.... Solar Mad is committed to only using the best products in our installations including LG solar panels because we want your system to last for many years to come.

16.01.2022 There's now just four weeks until Christmas and we are starting to ramp up the festive spirit at Solar Mad - your local authorised Jaycar Electronics store. Here's a brief look at just a few of the gift lines we have in stock with more interesting stuff arriving every day. Don't leave anything to chance with couriers or the post, shop in-store with a local business instead!

16.01.2022 When it comes to solar panels, we've always placed quality over quantity and this is one of the reasons we recommend LG Solar Australia. They are the best performing and most reliable panels we've worked with for over 10 years. LG has a STACK of resources that people can access to find out more about solar in general, not just LG stuff. Here's just one example ... a series of calculators to show you how to determine size, output, savings etc. There's also a heap of case studies and research papers about the benefits and payback of solar. Find it here: https://www.lgenergy.com.au/solar-calculators

15.01.2022 We've had a record month for installing LG Solar Australia panels .... despite the rainy weather and with almost a week of August still to run! If it's even possible, LG panels are becoming even more popular for both residential and commercial customers. They perform so well and are extremely reliable plus they have a 25 year warranty which is five years longer than most other panels on the market. We have increased our order for the remainder of the year, so if you want to get in on the action, contact us today (02 6964 0976) to discover why LG remains the first choice for so many people.

14.01.2022 For the bloke who has everything .... one of the most interesting gift ideas we have in stock for Father's Day is a range of weather stations . Great for outdoor Dads and Dad's who work on the land. They range in price from $99 up to $399. These are not toys, they are very complex and accurate pieces of equipment that will last for years. Call us for details about the different options or drop into the store and see the range for yourself.

12.01.2022 Meet Kai Suine who recently completed work experience at Solar Mad. Kai is in Year 10 at Murrumbidgee Regional High and is was keen to find out more about what's involved in being an electrician. He covered a lot of ground in five days! He spent a few days in Hay with the solar team, assisted in the installation of a Celfi phone booster at Aquna Sustainable Murray Cod and helped our chief electrician, Brendan change out a broken inverter on site at another customer, South Pac...ific Seeds. Over the past decade, we've helped around 15 young people complete their work experience (not to mention the 10 apprentices we've started!) and we are always keen to help out whenever possible. Thanks for your efforts last week Kai, you had a great attitude and were very helpful!

11.01.2022 Late last year we installed a 22.8kw system on the roof of Vaccari's Bakery in Probert Avenue, East Griffith comprising 68 LG Neon2 panels from LG Solar Australia which channel solar energy through a series of Enphase Energy microinverters. The impact of the solar system has been immediate and obvious. This year they will SAVE $15,000 on their power bill which equates to a 40% reduction. See what Erin Vaccari has to say below!

11.01.2022 We have just drawn the winner of our ‘$500 Give-away’ promotion! Thanks so much to everyone who look the time to enter. We had over 350 entries which was the biggest response we’ve ever had to an online promotion. And the winner is Rachel Ruth Keenan.

10.01.2022 Here's another recent installation on a farming enterprise in Booligal. It's a 10kW ground mount system using 28 x 360 watt Neon 2 panels from LG Solar Australia coupled with 2 x Sunny Boy 4.0 inverters from SMA. This system is the third and final installment of a PV solar system covering three adjoining properties that share 150km of pipeline required to replenish troughs with water for stock. In an region where it's difficult and expensive to connect to the grid, solar is used to generate energy to pressurize the water and power the pumps that service this significant network of pipes.

09.01.2022 Father's Day is now less than two weeks away! Have you considered Solar Mad for a gift for your Dad or Hubby? As your local Jaycar Electronics stockist, we have hundreds of different gifts for every type of bloke. Come in and check out the interesting stuff we sell.

08.01.2022 We don't just install solar panels on homes, office buildings, farm sheds and irrigation pumps .... Earlier this year Solar Mad was asked to help out on a very interesting job with a Coleambally based business which proves the applications for solar power are almost endless. Colybuilt specialises in the construction of commercial and industrial transportable buildings. These buildings are designed to be moved quickly and easily without compromising durability and quality and... include site offices, amenities blocks and cabins. They were asked to supply a security guard hut to be deployed on rail corridors around Sydney. The hut is a stand alone building, independent of any existing infrastructure including electricity, so the brief included the requirement for an around-the-clock power supply. Colybuilt engaged Solar Mad to design and fit a PV solar system with battery back-up that would ensure reliable and consistent electricity for the security guards. Solar Mad determined the minimum power requirements and fitted a 5kw system to the building made up of 12 x 415kw LG Solar Australia panels which are perfect for commercial jobs such as this. These panels were paired with an SMA inverter and a Tesla solar battery to ensure all power which is unused during daylight hours can be used overnight. Thanks to Ben and Rachel at Colybuilt for the opportunity to collaborate on such an interesting project!

07.01.2022 Meet Thomas, the newest member of the Solar Mad team. Tom recently commenced an electrical apprenticeship. He's a local lad (Lake Wyangan) who finished school (Marian College) last year and was working at Woolies until he decided he'd like to secure a trade qualification. When he's not learning to be an electrician and settling into his role at Solar Mad, he enjoys fishing, camping, exercising and tinkering in his shed. Tom says he wanted to complete a trade because he's always enjoyed finding and diagnosing problems in a system and fully understanding how they operate. Welcome aboard Tom.

06.01.2022 IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME .... YOU CAN WIN OVER $500 WORTH OF PRODUCTS! In the box we have an action camera (wifi go pro style), 270mm solar powered round sky light, Digitech mini boom box, Portable oscillating fan, L.E.D work light, 4 x UHF radio pack, Mini car in a can and a Mini arcade game! PLUS, we've thrown in 2 x Solar Mad stubby holders, 4 pens, a portable power bank, 4 pack of batteries & bucket hat. ... All you have to do is like this post, tag three mates in the comments and share it and you are in the draw. If you also like/follow the Solar Mad Facebook page you'll get a bonus entry!

05.01.2022 The best time to put panels on a roof is when you are building a new home! In fact, you should get us involved during the design process if possible so we can ensure you get maximum impact from solar from the day you take possession. Also, the system will already be exporting unused power and making you money before you even move in! Here's a recent installation we completed on a new home build in Collina using LG Solar Australia panels paired with an SMA Australia inverter.... The client also need a TV antenna for their new home (which we sell in the retail arm of our business) so we installed that while we were on the roof!

05.01.2022 Do your kids want to learn some cool new skills these holidays?

04.01.2022 Meet our new retail assistant, Ben who recently joined the team working in our electronics and communications store. He recently moved to Griffith from Leeton and was previously a manager at Betta Electrical (also an authorised Jaycar Electronics stockist) so he has great product knowledge. He’s always been interested in learning about new technology and the latest gadgets so working for Solar Mad ticks a lot of boxes. Ben has also been in customer service since he was a ...young boy as his parents have owned and managed a caravan park for over 20 years and he was frequently called upon to liaise with visitors and residents. When he’s not at work, Ben enjoys hitting the gym, playing guitar and spending time with friends and family. Welcome aboard Ben, we are very pleased to have such an experienced retailer working for us!

02.01.2022 We are aware of a significant spike in the number of car thefts and break-ins in Griffith and surrounding villages on the past week. Video surveillance is proven to deter would-be thieves.

From single camera, solar powered units (like the Uniden App-cam Solo) to multi-camera systems with fixed wiring and remote access viewing, we have every angle covered ... and so will you!
