Melbourne

Solar and battery in Outer East & Yarra Ranges.

The hills — heavy canopy, steep blocks and bushfire overlay.

The roofs here

What Outer East & Yarra Ranges asks of a system.

The Dandenongs and the Yarra Valley are the closest thing Melbourne has to the country we work in at home: tall timber, steep driveways, unreliable supply in bad weather, and a real case for backup.

Shading is severe and seasonal — a roof that performs in December can be in shadow by three o'clock in June. We model against the actual horizon rather than assuming a flat one, and we will tell you honestly when a block does not suit solar at all.

  • Winter yield modelled against the real horizon and ridge shadow
  • Bushfire overlay requirements on equipment placement and cabling
  • Battery backup worth costing — outages here are longer than in the suburbs
  • Access assessed before quoting; some driveways decide the install method

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
