Umbrey Solar Systems

Being out here at 31 Peenya Industrial Area means we’re surrounded by factories and loud machines all day. It’s a gritty part of town, but it’s where the real work happens. Our space is mostly taken up by solar panels and mounting brackets. There’s usually a truck parked out front getting loaded up for a delivery. We’ve been focusing on solar for a while because it makes sense with how much sun we get. The office is small and tucked away in the corner of the warehouse. It’s always a bit dusty because of the industrial zone, no matter how much we sweep. The guys are usually out on sites installing stuff, so the building can feel a bit empty during the middle of the day. We don’t have a receptionist in a suit or a polished lobby. You just walk in and usually find someone with grease on their hands or a clipboard. We deal with a lot of local businesses around here who want to cut down their electricity bills. It’s practical stuff. We spend a lot of time on roofs checking angles and making sure everything is bolted down right. It’s not a glamorous job, but we like being out in the air. We’ve learned a lot over the years about what works and what doesn't in this heat.
