Jinko panels, Sigenergy and GoodWe batteries, designed around your Frankston roof and your evening load, and installed by our own A-Grade electricians from the depot 15 minutes away in Somerville. Rebates worked out on the quote.
Frankston is one of the easier suburbs in Melbourne to put solar on. The streets between the Nepean Highway and Cranbourne Road are mostly single-storey brick veneer from the 1960s to the 1980s, with simple tile roofs, few tall trees and at least one face pointing north or east. Solar uptake in 3199 still sits below the newer estates further out, so on most streets we are fitting a first system, not replacing an old one.
What has changed is the size. A few years ago the standard quote was 6.6kW with no battery. The three systems we finished here most recently were 15.2kW, 12.35kW and 13.72kW, each with 24 to 40kWh of storage, because the owners were planning for a heat pump, reverse cycle heating or an EV as well as the power bill. We size for that from the start, so the system is not short the day the gas heater goes.
The switchboard is the other Frankston story. Plenty of these homes still run the original board, sometimes inside a wardrobe or a hallway cupboard, and it has to be right before a battery goes on it. We check it at the site visit and price any upgrade into the same fixed quote, next to the other work we do in Frankston.
Hardware we carry parts for and would put on our own roofs. Every install is done by Powerband employees.
Jinko Tiger Neo and Aiko panels, laid out around the hips and valleys of a Frankston tile roof. On a standard block we usually fit 26 to 32 panels across two or three faces. Larger homes in Frankston South and up Olivers Hill take more, and near the foreshore we use fixings rated for salt air.
Sigenergy SigenStor, GoodWe, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow. Most Frankston batteries go in the garage or on a shaded side wall, as close to the switchboard as the rules allow, with bollards where a car parks beside them. Sized to cover the 4pm to 9pm peak, with backup circuits set up for outages.
One inverter runs the panels and the battery. Frankston is a mix of single-phase and three-phase supply depending on the street and the age of the connection, so we confirm what you have before we choose the unit and handle the export approval with the network.
An original 1970s board will not take a battery safely. Where it needs replacing we fit a new board with room for the circuits that come later, such as a heat pump, induction cooktop or EV charger, and arrange the meter change with your retailer.
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.
Real installs, written up with the owners. Open any of them for the full specification and the review.
32 Jinko Tiger Neo panels across a tile roof, a Sigenergy hybrid inverter and three SigenStor modules in the garage, directly behind the switchboard to keep the cable run short.
26 panels, a GoodWe inverter and four GoodWe battery modules, plus a new switchboard with spare capacity for whatever the house electrifies next.
30 all-black Jinko panels and five Sigenergy battery modules, installed in one day. The switchboard was in a wardrobe, five metres of cable from the garage.
We are 15 minutes away, so none of these steps waits on travel.
We look at the roof faces, the shading, the switchboard and where a battery can go, and ask what else you plan to electrify.
A panel layout for your roof, the inverter and battery sizes, and one after-rebate price. No ranges and no extras added later.
Solar Victoria eligibility, the federal discounts and the network connection application are all handled before install day.
Panels, inverter, battery and any switchboard work by our own crew. Most Frankston systems are finished the same day.
Monitoring set up on your phone, backup circuits tested with you watching, and the Certificate of Electrical Safety issued.
Three separate incentives. Each has its own rules, so we check them against your address and household before quoting.
For eligible owner-occupiers, on the solar panels and inverter. Two of the three Frankston jobs above used it. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or battery loan now, both closed in 2025.
Small-scale technology certificates are taken off the price at the point of sale on every eligible system. You never claim anything back yourself.
The Cheaper Home Batteries discount, around 30 percent off an approved battery with no income test, applied on the quote.
Frankston is on the way to nearly every job we do. That changes how the work gets done.
Site visits are booked in days, not weeks, and if something needs a second look after the install the same crew calls in on the way past.
SAA accredited design and install, New Energy Tech Approved Seller, and nobody on your roof is a subcontractor.
We also fit the reverse cycle heating, heat pump hot water and EV chargers the solar will run, so the array and battery are sized for them now.
Three written-up Frankston and Frankston South systems on this page, each with the owner's own review.

A standard single-storey brick veneer in Frankston takes 26 to 32 modern panels, which is roughly 12 to 15kW. Larger homes in Frankston South take more. We draw the layout for your roof before you commit.
For most households with an evening load, yes. The battery shifts your own solar into the 4pm to 9pm peak and keeps essential circuits running in an outage. The recent Frankston systems on this page all carry 24kWh or more.
Often, in homes built before the 1990s. An original board with old fuses will not take a battery or the circuits that come later. We check it at the site visit and include any upgrade in the fixed price.
Usually. It depends on the age and brand of the existing inverter. Sometimes the battery connects alongside it, sometimes it makes more sense to replace the inverter with a hybrid unit. We tell you which after seeing the system.
Close to the foreshore we use fixings and outdoor gear rated for salt air and keep the battery out of direct weather. A few streets back from the beach it is a standard install.
A site visit within days, the quote shortly after, and the install is normally a single day once the paperwork is approved. The network connection approval is usually the step that sets the date.
A site visit, then a written quote with the panel layout, battery size, brands and the after-rebate price. No obligation.
