Solar Panels & Battery Storage Melbourne — Slash Power Bills by Up to 80%

An average Melbourne household installing a quality 6.6kW solar system typically saves between $1,200 and $2,000+ per year on electricity bills, depending on daytime power usage patterns, roof orientation, and electricity tariffs. When combined with energy-efficient reverse cycle heat pump heating and cooling, Melbourne homes routinely cut total grid electricity costs by 70% to 80%.

Eligible Victorian owner-occupiers and rental providers can claim the Solar Victoria Solar Panel Rebate of up to $1,400, along with the option of an interest-free loan of up to $1,400 to match. Additionally, every system receives federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which provide an upfront point-of-sale discount of $2,000 to $3,500+ off the standard retail installation price. As an accredited Solar Victoria retailer, Elite Solution deducts all rebates directly from your quote.

Yes, solar battery storage is increasingly valuable in Victoria. While excess solar exported to the grid now earns modest feed-in tariffs (typically 3c to 5c per kWh), storing that power in a battery allows you to power your home during expensive evening peak tariff hours (30c to 45c+ per kWh). Furthermore, solar batteries provide peace of mind by maintaining critical household power during unexpected grid blackouts. Eligible Victorians can also access interest-free battery loans through Solar Victoria.

For most Melbourne 3 to 4-bedroom homes, a 6.6kW solar array paired with a 5kW inverter is the industry benchmark for maximum return on investment. For larger homes with high energy demands—such as ducted air conditioning, electric vehicle (EV) charging, swimming pools, or heat pump water heaters—an 8.8kW to 13.2kW system is recommended. Our CEC accredited designers model your roof layout using satellite imagery to recommend the ideal size.

Standard grid-connected solar systems without a battery will automatically switch off during a grid blackout to prevent sending dangerous current down distribution power lines. However, if you install a hybrid solar system with a battery and Emergency Power Supply (EPS) backup gateway (such as a Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow Backup Box), your system seamlessly disconnects from the grid and powers your lights, refrigeration, Wi-Fi, and essential power points within 20 milliseconds.

Most residential rooftop solar installations (6.6kW to 10kW) are fully installed in just one day (typically 5 to 7 hours) by our team of CEC-accredited electricians and roofers. Adding a home battery takes an additional 2 to 3 hours. We handle all grid connection approvals with your local distribution network (CitiPower, Powercor, Jemena, AusNet, or United Energy) and provide an official Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES).

Yes. Modern monocrystalline solar panels with advanced PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) technology capture diffuse solar radiation through cloud cover and overcast skies. While maximum output is achieved on clear sunny days, your panels will continue producing 20% to 40% of their rated capacity on cloudy or drizzly Melbourne days, consistently offsetting your daytime grid consumption.

All solar PV installations by Elite Solution come with a 25-Year Linear Performance Warranty on solar panels, guaranteeing at least 80% to 85% generation capacity at Year 25. Inverters and batteries include 10-Year Manufacturer Warranties. On top of that, Elite Solution provides our own 6-Year Master Electrician Workmanship Guarantee and an official Victorian Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES).
