Solar & Batteries in Ballarat
Ballarat's winters are among Victoria's coldest. We design and install solar and batteries sized for heating, and for homes moving off gas.
Solar in Ballarat
Across Ballarat and the district, here is what we plan for.
Cold winters
Heating runs on winter evenings. We size your system over the whole year, and a battery covers those evenings.
Getting off gas
Switching to a heat pump, induction or heat-pump hot water? We size the solar and battery for the extra electricity.
Room to grow
Bigger blocks often have space for more panels, a larger battery or an EV charger later. We design for it from the start.
Powercor
Ballarat is on the Powercor network. We handle your connection application with them.
