Solar energy is power harnessed from the sun’s light and heat. It’s clean, renewable, and produces no harmful emissions. This makes it one of the most sustainable energy sources available, with uses ranging from powering homes and businesses to heating water and generating electricity for large-scale networks.

Not anymore. Thanks to falling equipment prices, economies of scale, and government rebates, solar systems are now affordable for most households. With millions of installations already in place across Australia, solar has proven to be a smart investment that reduces energy bills and pays for itself over time.

When your panels produce more power than you use, the excess is sent to the grid and you receive a credit through a feed-in tariff. With a battery, you can store extra energy for use at night or during peak hours, cutting your reliance on the grid even further.

A typical Australian family of four will likely need between 14 to 30 solar panels for a system ranging from 5kW to 10kW. The average greater Melbourne household has a daily electricity usage of 13.65 kWh.

But it depends on your energy needs and system size. For example:

• 6.6 kW system → ~15 panels (440W each)

• 10.12 kW system → ~23 panels (440W each)

• 13.2 kW system → ~30 panels (440W each)

We offer free site assessments to determine exactly how many panels will fit your roof and suit your energy goals.

The right battery size depends on your energy use, lifestyle, and whether you want full or partial backup power. Our team can assess your electricity bills, roof space, and usage patterns to recommend the ideal battery storage so you get the best value and savings.

You will start to see savings on your electricity bill as soon as your solar power system is switched on. The savings are immediate as you begin to power your home with the free energy from the sun instead of expensive electricity from the grid. Solar panel systems typically pay for themselves within 5-6 years, and it’s not uncommon for them to do so in as little as four years. If well maintained, a good solar system can continue to deliver savings for 25 years.

A fully installed 10.12 kW system (23 panels + 8 kW inverter) starts at approximately $2,990, after discounts and interest-free loans. The final cost varies depending on the roof type, home design, and electrical needs.

A common 10 kWh battery typically costs around $8,300 installed, but with government rebates, this price can drop significantly—making solar storage more affordable than ever.

Yes. In Victoria, homeowners may qualify for:

Our team handles all the paperwork and pre-approval requests, ensuring your system complies with all grid connection requirements.

Solar power systems are built for long-term use, with different components having various lifespans and warranties:

• Panels: We offer a 25-year product warranty and a 30-year performance warranty.

   

• Inverter: The typical warranty for an inverter is 10 years.

   

• Solar Batteries: Most batteries come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 10 years.

Additionally, we provide a 5-year warranty on our installation and workmanship, backed by Tech Solar Battery.

Yes, we provide maintenance and cleaning services.

For a standard residential system, a full electrical inspection every two years is a good practice. For larger commercial systems (over 40kW), an annual inspection is highly recommended to prevent issues from affecting your business operations.

The need for cleaning depends on your environment; panels in coastal, industrial, or high bird-traffic areas may need to be cleaned more often.
