Tillman Kiesow says his small team has completed many solar and electrical installations around Annandale. In nearby Forest Lodge they took on a solar-and-battery job for a three-storey terrace with tight space and difficult access after others had declined it. It is a useful glimpse of the practical Inner West work they enjoy.

Read Tillman Kiesow's story

Tillman says he has completed many installations in Annandale and has worked across the Inner West for more than a decade. That local experience includes homes where roof access, space and older electrical infrastructure can make solar and battery work less straightforward.

He has worked as an electrician for 20 years. His background is in residential maintenance electrical work. Over the past five years, his focus has shifted to solar installations. He describes the business as a small team of two to five people. It provides sales, installation and service for Inner West customers. Today, Eastnwest solar, also known as Tillman electrical services, handles solar panels, home batteries and EV chargers. The team also upgrades switchboards and meter boxes.

A recent Forest Lodge project tested that practical experience. The job involved a solar and battery installation on a three-storey terrace with limited working room and difficult access. Tillman says many others had declined it. His team worked through the constraints and completed the installation. It is the kind of project he is proud of: a demanding job on an Inner West home that needed a plan suited to the site.

Tillman says clear communication is an important part of the work. His description of what repeat customers value is simple: explaining what will happen, being upfront about pricing and getting the job done. He offers free on-site quotes and advice so customers can talk through the options before deciding what is right for their home.

New installations come with a five-year workmanship warranty. The business also works with the Inner West Community Energy group as one of its preferred installers.
