Services
Solar Power Systems
We design and install grid-connected solar photovoltaic systems for residential and commercial properties. Our systems utilize tier-1 panels and inverters to maximize energy production and cost savings. With federal STCs and Victorian rebates available, installations typically achieve 3-5 year payback periods. Systems include 25-year panel warranties and 10-year workmanship guarantees.
Solar Hot Water
Our frost-protected solar hot water systems combine Rheem and heat pump technologies for year-round efficiency. Available in roof-mounted and ground-mounted configurations with capacities from 180-410 liters. Systems qualify for STC rebates and feature warranties up to 10 years. Ideal for reducing hot water energy consumption by 60-75%.
Solar Pool Heating
We install Rhino Pool Heating systems that extend swimming seasons by 4-6 months using solar thermal collectors. Systems require no running costs and typically achieve 8-15C temperature increases. Custom designs match pool sizes (50-100% collector coverage) with options for roof or ground mounting. Australian-made solutions with 10-year warranties.
Heat Pump Systems
Our air-source heat pumps provide efficient hot water solutions with 60-75% energy savings over electric systems. Operating effectively down to -10C, these systems include frost protection and backup elements. Victorian rebates available with 5-8 year warranties. Compact design suits properties with limited roof space.
Battery Storage
We integrate battery storage solutions to maximize solar self-consumption and provide blackout protection. Systems qualify for Victorian battery rebates up to $4,174. Recommended configurations include lithium-ion batteries with 10-year warranties. Enables near-zero grid dependency when combined with solar PV systems.
Questions
How much can I save with solar panels in Victoria?
Most Victorian households save 60-90% on electricity bills with solar. A typical 6.6kW system saves $1,500-$2,500 annually, paying for itself within 3-5 years through rebates and energy savings.
Do I need battery storage with my solar panels?
Battery storage is optional but recommended for maximum savings. It stores excess solar energy for evening use, provides backup power, and reduces grid dependency, with better cost-effectiveness when installed alongside solar panels.
How warm will solar heating make my pool?
Solar pool heating typically increases water temperature by 8-15°C, achieving comfortable swimming temperatures of 26-28°C for 4-6 extra months annually, depending on system size and weather conditions.
What rebates are available for solar systems?
Victorian residents can access up to $1,400 for solar panels, $4,174 for batteries, and $1,000 for heat pumps, plus federal STC rebates. We handle all rebate applications during your free consultation.
How long does solar installation take?
Most installations complete in 1-2 days, including panel mounting, inverter installation, and system testing. Grid connection approval typically takes 5-10 business days after installation completion.
Do solar panels damage roofs?
Properly installed solar panels protect roofs from weather damage. We use waterproof mounting systems with 25-year warranties and minimal penetrations sealed to Australian building standards.
