Panels capture sunlight
Photovoltaic cells in each panel convert sunlight — including Melbourne's bright winter light — into DC electricity.
Residential Solar Panels
Rooftop solar, designed around your home
From a compact 6.6 kW array to a 13.2 kW family system, we help you find the right solar setup — sized to your roof, your usage and Victorian conditions.
How a solar system works
Inverter converts it
Your inverter converts DC into the 230V AC electricity your home runs on, continuously and silently.
Your home uses it first
Solar powers your appliances before any grid electricity is drawn. Surplus flows back to the grid for a feed-in credit.
Reduce the electricity you buy from the grid
Soften the impact of rising energy prices
Add appeal and value to your property
Cut household carbon emissions every year

Panels
High-efficiency monocrystalline panels from established Tier-1 manufacturers, selected for Melbourne conditions and roof space.
Inverters
String or micro-inverter options matched to shading and layout — the engine room of your system's performance.
Monitoring
App-based monitoring lets you watch generation, consumption and exports in real time, and spot issues early.
The installation process
Installations are performed by accredited installation partners. Here's what the journey looks like.
01
Site & roof assessment
An accredited partner assesses roof orientation, tilt, shading and switchboard condition — on site or via aerial imagery.
02
Design & formal quote
A system is designed around your usage, with STC incentives applied and any Victorian rebate pathway explained.
03
Installation day
Most residential installs complete in a single day, including panels, inverter, isolators and metering work.
04
Connection & handover
Grid connection paperwork, monitoring setup and a walkthrough so you know exactly what your system is doing.
Potential bill savings
Every kilowatt-hour of solar you use directly is one you don't buy at retail rates. Households that shift usage into daylight hours — hot water, dishwashers, EV charging — typically capture the most value. Actual savings depend on your usage pattern, tariff and system performance, and are never guaranteed.
How your quote is prepared
Partner quotes are built from your actual electricity bills, roof measurements and a shade assessment. They itemise hardware, installation, the federal STC discount and any Victorian rebate pathway — so you can compare offers line by line.
Government incentives — Victorian Solar Homes rebates and federal STCs — can reduce your upfront cost.

Savings depend on your system size, how much electricity you use during the day, your tariff and your roof's solar exposure. Many Melbourne households see substantial reductions, but no specific saving can be guaranteed — your personalised quote will include an estimate based on your actual usage.
