Residential Solar Energy Solutions

The cost of a solar system depends on several factors, including the size of the system, your energy consumption, roof type, location, and whether you include a battery. For most homes in Australia, a standard residential solar system typically ranges from $4,000 to $10,000 after applying government rebates and incentives such as STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates).

If you opt for a solar and battery package, prices can range from $9,000 to $18,000, depending on the battery size and brand. While upfront costs can vary, most systems pay for themselves within 3 to 5 years through savings on electricity bills.

We recommend booking a free, no-obligation consultation so we can assess your property and provide a customised quote based on your specific needs.

1. High evening or nighttime energy use If you’re home in the evenings and use appliances like air conditioning, dishwashers, or EV chargers at night, a battery can store excess solar power from the day to reduce your grid usage at night.
2. Frequent blackouts or unreliable grid power Batteries with backup capability can keep your lights, fridge, or key appliances running during outages. This is ideal for rural properties or areas with grid instability.
3. Wanting to maximise savings and reduce bills If you’re on a time-of-use tariff (where electricity is more expensive during peak hours), a battery helps you avoid peak rates by using stored solar power.
4. Looking to increase energy independence A battery reduces reliance on energy retailers and can be part of a long-term plan to go off-grid.
5. Taking advantage of current rebates Government subsidies in some states (like SA, VIC, and NSW) can significantly reduce the cost of installing a battery.

1. 10 kWh battery
   • Ideal for medium-sized households
   • Covers basic night-time usage
2. 15–20 kWh battery
   • Suits larger homes or those with higher usage
   • Can power more appliances for longer during blackouts
3. Hybrid inverter systems
   • Future-ready systems with built-in battery compatibility
   • Allows you to add a battery later without major upgrades

Yes, but it depends on your landlord’s approval. As a tenant, you can’t install solar panels without the property owner’s permission, since it’s a structural change to the property.

If you’re interested in solar, here are a few options:

1. Talk to your landlord
   Many landlords are open to solar, especially if it increases the property’s value and appeal. Offer to share the benefits, such as reduced electricity bills and potential government incentives. In some cases, tenants and landlords split the cost or agree on a rent adjustment.
2. Solar leasing or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
   Some providers offer solar systems with no upfront cost, where the landlord pays a monthly fee or sells the electricity back to you at a lower rate than the grid.
   • Environmental: Reduce carbon footprint by installing solar, improving energy efficiency, and tracking emissions.
   • Social: Ensure fair labour practices, community support, and inclusive workplace policies.
   • Governance: Follow ethical business practices, maintain transparency, and report on ESG initiatives.

Installing solar is a key step toward ESG compliance, and we can assist with data and reporting to support your goals.
