Frequently asked questions

on Solar Rebates and Installations

1. How do I know if I’m eligible for a solar rebate?

Eligibility typically depends on factors such as your household income, property ownership, electricity usage, and whether you've previously received a rebate. Our team can guide you through a quick eligibility check to see if you qualify under the Victorian Solar Homes Program or other available incentives.

2. What government rebates are currently available?

Victorian residents may be eligible for rebates including:

Solar Panel (PV) Rebate
Solar Battery Rebate
Solar Hot Water Rebate
Energy Efficiency Rebates (e.g. heat pumps, air conditioning)

Rebate amounts and conditions change from time to time, so we’ll make sure you have the most up-to-date information during your consultation.

3. How much can I save by installing solar panels?

Savings vary based on your system size, energy usage, and location. On average, homeowners save $800–$2,000 per year on electricity bills. Plus, rebates can cover a significant portion of the upfront cost, making solar more affordable than ever.

5. How long does installation take?

Most standard solar systems are installed within 1–2 days, depending on your roof type and system size. Approval processes (especially for rebates and grid connections) may take a couple of weeks, but we keep you updated every step of the way.

6. Do I need to maintain my solar system?

Solar systems require minimal maintenance. However, it’s recommended to have your panels inspected and cleaned every 12–24 months to ensure peak performance. We offer ongoing support and maintenance packages if needed.

7. What warranties do you provide?

We offer:

  • 15-25 years performance warranty on solar panels
  • 10–15 years product warranty on inverters
  • 10-years workmanship warranty on installations

8. Can I add a battery later?

Yes! Our systems are battery-ready, allowing you to add storage in the future as your energy needs grow or battery prices drop. We also offer advice on current battery rebate options.

9. Do I need council approval for solar installation?

In most residential cases, no council approval is needed. However, certain heritage-listed or multi-dwelling properties may require additional permits. We’ll advise you if any approvals are required for your location.
