Melbourne

Solar and battery in North West.

Established suburbs and newer estates with big, simple, well-oriented roofs.

The roofs here

What North West asks of a system.

The north west runs from established brick homes around Essendon out to the newer estates at Craigieburn and Sunbury — and the newer the estate, the easier the job. Large unbroken roof planes, sensible orientation, modern switchboards.

It is also hot. Summer performance is strong, but inverter and battery placement matters more than people expect: gear mounted on a west-facing wall in Craigieburn will spend January derating. We site electronics out of the afternoon sun as a matter of course.

  • Inverter and battery placement planned around summer heat, not just cable runs
  • New-estate roofs suit large arrays with minimal compromise
  • Sunbury and the northern fringe are noticeably colder in winter than the inner suburbs
  • Strong summer yield makes the battery case earlier here than in the ranges

How Melbourne works

Designed by us. Installed to our spec. Backed by us.

We are not a lead-generation outfit that sells your details to whoever is cheapest that week. We design the system ourselves, on your real usage data, and we specify the equipment — the same brands we put on our own jobs in Central Victoria.

Installation across Melbourne is carried out by Clean Energy Council accredited installers building to our design and our standard. We stay the point of contact throughout, and the warranty and aftercare sit with us. If something needs attention in year seven, you call us.

  • System designed on your interval usage data, not a package off a price list
  • Equipment specified by us — established brands with real local support and parts
  • Clean Energy Council accredited installers, working to our design and our standard
  • One point of contact from quote to commissioning, and afterwards
  • Rebates and paperwork handled, including the interest-free loan
  • Monitoring handed over and watched — we see a fault before you do
