Solar & Batteries in Melbourne
Moving off gas, adding an EV or just tired of the bills? We design Melbourne systems around the whole year, winter included.
Solar in Melbourne
Melbourne homes are changing how they use power. Here is what we plan for.
Getting off gas
Heat pumps, induction cooking and heat-pump hot water add to your electricity use. We size the solar and battery to cover them.
Sized for winter
Short winter days make less solar. We size your system over the whole year, not just summer.
EV ready
Planning an EV? We size for charging at home and fit the charger at the same time.
Five networks
CitiPower, Jemena, United Energy, AusNet Services or Powercor, depending on your suburb. It's on your bill, and we handle the application with yours.
