Adding a battery, charging an EV at home or running more of the house on solar all depend on what your switchboard can carry. Bolton EC is a licensed electrician in Applecross for solar panels, battery storage, EV chargers, switchboard upgrades and general electrical work, all handled by one team. We work across the suburb’s riverside homes, its larger family blocks and the newer apartment buildings around Canning Bridge.
We book Applecross work into weekday slots from our Canning Vale base, and we turn up when we say we will.
Our licensed team covers everything below, from a single faulty circuit to a full solar and battery system.
We design each solar panel installation around your roof pitch, your daytime power use and any battery you plan to add, with AIKO panels and Fronius inverters at the top end of the range. As a solar installer in Applecross, we check how street trees and garden trees shade your roof through the year before we fix the layout.
Solar battery installation stores the power your panels make during the day for the evening, when cooking, cooling and pool equipment draw the most. We specialise in Sigenergy battery systems, and Goodwe is the mid-range option we also install.
We handle EV charger installation in Applecross for home garages and apartment car bays, including Sigenergy chargers that pair with a Sigenergy battery. Before quoting, we check that the charger can run alongside ducted air conditioning and other heavy loads without overloading your supply.
A switchboard upgrade swaps old ceramic fuses for circuit breakers and RCD safety switches, so the board can safely take solar, a battery or a charger. If your Applecross home needs a switchboard upgrade as part of a bigger job, we price both together so the full scope sits on one quote.
Our commercial solar work suits shops, clinics and offices along Canning Highway that draw most of their power during trading hours. We size the system around your opening hours and usable roof space, so the panels cover the load you actually run.
Our electrical repairs start with fault finding, tracing a tripping safety switch or a dead circuit to its cause before anything is replaced. You hear what we found and what the fix involves before any work starts.
Our lighting installation work covers LED downlights, pendants, garden and path lighting, and sensor lights for driveways. On bigger blocks, we can put outdoor lighting on its own circuit and switch, so the garden runs separately from the house.
Bolton EC puts the panels, battery, charger and switchboard in the hands of one licensed team, so one contractor answers for the whole system. Honesty, punctuality, workmanship: those are the standards we hold every job to. We don’t install cheap and nasty systems, and we explain plainly what a good one involves before you commit.
Applecross is a riverside suburb in the City of Melville, about 7 kilometres from the Perth CBD, bounded by the Swan River and Canning Highway. Ardross, Mount Pleasant and Alfred Cove border it, and Canning Bridge links it to Como across the Canning River.
Jacarandas have lined the suburb’s streets since planting began in the 1930s. They lose much of their canopy in late winter and leaf up again after they flower in late spring, so the shade they cast on a roof changes through the year. We note where street trees and large garden trees sit against each roof face before we settle panel positions and battery size.
The eastern end of the suburb is changing quickly. The Canning Bridge Activity Centre Plan guides higher-density development around Canning Bridge Station, and several apartment towers now stand or are under construction near Canning Highway. Charging an EV in one of these buildings means working with the strata on switchboard capacity, metering and cabling through common property, and we give the strata that detail before the first charger goes in.
Larger homes and rebuilds on the suburb’s bigger blocks often run ducted air conditioning, a pool and two cars. That is where solar, a battery and an EV charger start to work together, so we check the main switch rating, the incoming supply and the board’s spare capacity before we size anything.

Our team also works across Ardross, Mount Pleasant, Alfred Cove, Attadale, Booragoon, Myaree and Como. Further south-east, we handle electrical and solar work in Willetton, and our wider Perth metro service area runs from Pinjarra to Two Rocks.
Every quote starts with a look at your property, your recent power bills and your switchboard. We don’t publish set prices, because the scope changes from one property to the next. Roof pitch and shading, the board’s condition, cable run lengths, strata requirements in apartment buildings and the battery that suits your usage all affect the final figure.
You get a written quote that lists the products, the labour and what is included, and we will walk you through any line of it.
Riverside home, family rebuild or apartment near Canning Bridge, a battery or EV charger only works as well as the switchboard and wiring behind it. Bolton EC checks that groundwork first, installs equipment chosen for build quality and puts the full scope in writing. Tell us what you are planning, and we will give you a straight answer on what your property needs.
Yes. Bolton EC covers all of Applecross, from the riverfront streets to the apartments around Canning Bridge, along with Ardross and Mount Pleasant next door. Our crew travels in from our Canning Vale base on weekdays.
Usually, yes, once the strata approves it. We assess the building’s switchboard capacity and the cable route to your car bay, then give the strata the information it needs to make a decision.
The price depends on your roof, your switchboard, your energy use and the products you choose, so we quote every job individually. We inspect the property first, then give you a written quote that lists each item.
It depends on the board. One with ceramic fuses, no RCD safety switches or no spare space usually needs work first, while a newer board may only need a new circuit. We check yours on site and tell you which applies before we quote.
