Solar panels
in Melbourne

We start from your bills: how much power you use, and how much of it you use after dark. Two things then cap the size: the roof area that gets good sun, and your connection. Every Victorian distributor pre-approves 10 kW of inverter on a single phase home and 30 kW on three phase. Package sizes

Yes. The yearly generation on every package comes from PVGIS’s model of the weather at Mount Waverley from 2005 to 2023, so cloudy days are counted. Winter is the low point: a north-facing 6.6kW system on a 5 kW inverter makes about 14.4 kWh a day in June, against 34.9 kWh in January. Output by season

It depends on the size of the system, the roof and the switchboard, so we confirm the install date and the time on site when we quote. Before install day, your electricity distributor has to approve the connection. A battery is also checked by an independent electrical inspector before it can be switched on. How a battery install works

In most cases, yes. We inspect your existing inverter and recommend either a hybrid inverter that runs the panels and the battery together, or an AC-coupled battery that works beside the inverter you have. Either way, your distributor approves the change before install day, because a battery’s inverter counts towards the connection limit. Adding a battery to existing solar

Only if your design includes backup. Backup needs an inverter and battery that can run the home without the grid, and a backup circuit wired in. Models differ: some keep a few chosen circuits on, others the whole home. Ask us what your design keeps on in a blackout before you sign. Battery backup explained

Your retailer sets it, as a single rate or one that changes with the time of day. Victoria has had no minimum feed-in tariff since 1 July 2025, though a retailer’s rate can’t go below zero. We size systems for the solar you use yourself rather than for exports: each unit you use is one you don’t buy from the grid. Feed-in tariffs in Victoria

Often, but it depends on the inverter. A hybrid inverter can take a battery now or later. More panels may need a bigger inverter and a fresh approval from your distributor. Ask us what your design leaves room for before you sign. Upgrades and extensions

At least every 2 years, Solar Victoria and Energy Safe Victoria advise, by a licensed A-Grade electrician, preferably accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia. A proper service tests the wiring, the DC isolator and the inverter, so it is much more than a panel clean. Solar servicing

As well as metropolitan Melbourne, we install in 11 regional towns: Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, Mildura, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Shepparton, Bairnsdale, Warrnambool, Drouin and Warragul. Wherever you are, we inspect the home before we quote, and your local distributor approves the connection before install day. Our service areas

Yes. We design and install business systems alongside our home packages, from small shops to warehouses. Each one is sized to its roof, its daytime power use and its network connection, with the payback modelled from the business’s own interval data. Commercial solar
