Not the biggest system that fits on the roof, the right one for the house. Jinko and Aiko panels, Sigenergy and GoodWe batteries, designed and installed by our own A-Grade electricians.
Aspendale Gardens was laid out mostly in the late 1980s and 1990s, on flat land beside the Edithvale Wetlands, with Waterways next door. The houses reflect it: brick veneer family homes, many of them double storey, with concrete tile hip roofs broken into several faces and a double garage at the front. It is a long way from the salt of the foreshore, so the design questions here are about the roof and the household, not the weather.
Our written-up job in the suburb shows the approach. The owner did not need the largest system the roof would hold, he needed one that matched what the house used. We fitted 24 Jinko Tiger Neo panels across the tile roof for 11.4kW, a Sigen Hybrid 10.0 SP single-phase inverter, and two SigenStor battery modules in the garage, 16.12kWh, bollard-protected, with the Solar Victoria rebate handled for him.
That is how we quote every house here. We look at your bills and when you use power, ask what is changing, such as gas heating coming out or a car going in, and size the panels and the battery for that. A bigger system is easy to sell. One that pays its way is what we aim for. Other services in the suburb are on our Aspendale Gardens page.
Four parts, each sized from your usage. All installed by Powerband employees.
Jinko Tiger Neo and Aiko panels laid out over the north, east and west faces of a tile hip roof. On a two-storey home we plan access for the upper roof and keep panels off faces that the second storey shades.
Sungrow, Sigenergy, GoodWe or Tesla Powerwall. Two modules suited the house in our Aspendale Gardens job. We work out yours from your evening usage, and modular batteries can grow later if you need more.
One hybrid inverter runs the panels and battery, with the app set up on your phone before we leave so you can see what the roof makes and where it goes.
Ducted gas is still the norm in this suburb. We leave space on the board and in the design for reverse cycle heating, heat pump hot water or an EV charger, so adding them later is simple.
The full range is on our products page.
Tier-one panels with 25-year performance warranties, laid out for the roof faces you have.
Hybrid and string inverters, chosen so a battery can join the system now or later.
Home batteries sized to the evening peak, with backup circuits set up for outages.
Home chargers wired into the same system and set to charge from your solar first.
Our Aspendale Gardens job is described above. These three are nearby in Mordialloc, Chelsea Heights and Chelsea, each with a full write-up.
Just north in Mordialloc, 28 Jinko Tiger Neo III panels on a tile roof, 24.96kWh of GoodWe storage beside the switchboard, and the gas cooktop swapped for induction on its own circuit.
Next door in Chelsea Heights, a double-storey home with 7.6kW of Jinko panels on tin, three GoodWe battery modules in the garage and a 7kW GoodWe car charger, fitted in one visit.
A little further south in Chelsea, 26 Jinko panels across two planes of a tile roof with a Sigen Hybrid inverter and 16.12kWh of SigenStor storage, paid for with an interest-free loan.
The sizing happens at the kitchen table, before anyone looks at the roof.
Send us a recent bill or interval data and we see how much you use, and when.
An electrician checks the roof faces, the switchboard, the garage and where the battery can go.
Panels, inverter and battery matched to your usage, with the layout and a fixed after-rebate price.
Solar Victoria, STCs, the federal battery discount and the network application lodged by us.
Usually one day. Backup circuits tested with you, app set up and the Certificate of Electrical Safety issued.
They are easy to mix up. Here is which one applies to which part of the system.
Federal small-scale technology certificates reduce the price of the solar panels on every eligible system, taken off the quote.
The federal discount, around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test. Solar Victoria stopped funding batteries in 2025.
A rebate and interest-free loan for eligible owner-occupiers, on the solar only. Our Aspendale Gardens job had the rebate handled. For the ducted gas heater, see heating and cooling in Aspendale Gardens.
We would rather fit the right system than the largest one.
Our Aspendale Gardens job is a good example: the right size for the household, not the biggest the roof could hold.
Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) accredited, and listed as a New Energy Tech Approved Seller.
Nobody on your roof or at your switchboard is a subcontractor. They work for Powerband, out of Somerville.
More than 20 years in electrical work, and more than 5,000 Melbourne homes started on electrification.

It depends on your usage, not the suburb. Our Aspendale Gardens job was 11.4kW with 16.12kWh of storage, which suited that house. We size yours from your bills.
Usually. The upper roof is often the least shaded. We plan access and keep panels off any lower faces the second storey shades in winter.
If your evening usage is high, now usually makes sense with the federal discount. If not, we can fit a battery-ready hybrid inverter and add storage later.
With modular batteries such as Sigenergy SigenStor and GoodWe, yes. Modules can be added as long as the inverter and space allow.
If you plan to replace it with reverse cycle within a few years, yes. We size the panels and battery for the heating load so the system is not too small later.
Most systems are installed in one day once the network approval is through.
