Solar & batteries

Solar that's sized for your home

Tier-1 panels, quality inverters and batteries, installed by our own licensed team. We measure before we quote, apply every rebate you're eligible for, and set the whole thing up so it just works.

Solar panels

Quality solar, installed properly

A solar system is only as good as the design behind it. We look at your roof orientation, shading, switchboard and the way you actually use power before we recommend a size. That's why our customers' systems perform the way the quote said they would.

We install Tier-1 panels from Jinko, Trina, REC and LONGi with Fronius, Sungrow or Enphase inverters, and we register every warranty on your behalf at handover.

Solar batteries

Power your home day and night

A battery lets you run the house on your own solar after dark, keep the lights on in a blackout and take advantage of the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount.

We install Tesla Powerwall, BYD, Sigenergy and Fronius battery systems, and we'll tell you honestly whether a battery stacks up for your usage or whether panels alone are the smarter buy. We can add a battery to most existing solar systems too.

Free site assessment

We come out, look at your roof, switchboard and power bills, and talk through what you actually want. A system sized from a satellite photo is a guess. Ours isn't.

Clean installation

Our own licensed team does the install, usually in a day. Tidy cable runs, conduit kept out of sight, and we leave the place cleaner than we found it.

We set up your monitoring app, register the manufacturer warranties, lodge the grid connection and rebate paperwork, and stay one phone call away.

FAQ

Common questions

Most owner-occupiers are eligible for the Solar Victoria panel rebate plus federal STCs, and batteries currently attract a federal discount under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. We confirm exactly what you qualify for and take it off the quote.

It depends on your usage, roof and whether you're planning a battery or EV. Most Melbourne homes land between 6.6 kW and 13 kW. We size it from your bills and the roof, not a rule of thumb.

Usually, yes. Some batteries work with any inverter, others need a hybrid inverter. We check what you have and quote the cleanest option.

Most residential solar and battery installs are done in a single day. Grid approval is arranged beforehand so you're not waiting afterwards.

Panels typically carry 25 years, inverters and batteries 10 years, plus our own workmanship warranty. We register everything for you at handover.
