Single-storey brick veneer, a plain tile roof and an original switchboard. Hampton Park homes suit a sensible system done properly: the board sorted first, panels on the faces that work, and a battery sized to the household. Installed by our own A-Grade electricians.
Hampton Park was built mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, and it was built modestly: three and four bedroom brick veneer homes, single storey, on blocks that are neither large nor cramped. From a solar point of view these are honest roofs. Concrete tile, a simple hip or gable, no second storey throwing shade and safe access from a ladder. An installer can see the whole job from the driveway.
The part that needs attention is the meter box. A lot of Hampton Park homes still run the switchboard they were built with, and a board from 1988 was designed for a stove, a few power circuits and lights. Solar on its own can sometimes be added to it. A battery, with its own protection and backup circuits, usually asks more than the old board can give. So the first thing we open on a site visit here is the board, and the quote says plainly whether it stays or is replaced.
Because the homes and households are smaller than in the newer estates, the systems can be too. There is no point filling every tile with panels to run a house that uses a moderate amount of power. We size to what you use now plus what is coming when the old gas heater and hot water are replaced, and stop there. It is one part of what we do in Hampton Park.
Listed in the order we think about them on a Hampton Park job.
Where the original board cannot safely take solar and battery circuits, we fit a new one with safety switches on every circuit and spare ways for later. It is priced inside the same fixed quote, so there is no surprise after you have signed.
Jinko Tiger Neo and Aiko panels on the north, east and west faces of a single-storey tile roof. Current panels produce more from each square metre than older ones did, so a modest roof now carries a useful system.
Sigenergy and GoodWe batteries come in modules, so the storage can be matched to a three-bedroom home and extended later. Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow are available too. Where there is no garage wall, a shaded side wall close to the board does the job.
One hybrid inverter for the panels and the battery, mounted out of the afternoon sun, with the network application lodged by us. The app shows what the roof is making and where it is going, which is how most owners learn to shift their washing and dishwasher.
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.
We do not have a Hampton Park write-up yet. These three are the closest in size and distance: Lyndhurst, Cranbourne North and Berwick.
In nearby Lyndhurst the owner arrived with a written specification: no visible conduit and the battery 40 metres from the switchboard. We fitted Jinko Tiger Neo panels and a Sigenergy hybrid inverter and battery to that brief.
Twenty Jinko panels across a tile roof next door in Cranbourne North, with a single-phase Sigenergy hybrid inverter and two battery modules on an outside wall. No garage space was needed.
A compact system in Berwick: 18 Jinko panels, a Sigenergy hybrid inverter and a single battery module on the exterior wall, enough to take the house through the evening on its own solar.
A single-storey home with a simple roof is the quickest kind of job once the paperwork is through.
We check its age, condition and spare capacity, and whether the incoming supply and meter suit a battery.
Roof faces and shade on one side, your actual usage on the other. The system size comes from both.
Panels, inverter, battery, any board upgrade and the after-rebate price on one page. Battery now or battery later, priced both ways if you want.
Solar Victoria eligibility, federal discounts and the network connection application.
Board work, panels, inverter and battery by our own electricians, followed by a backup test and a run through the app.
For many Hampton Park owner-occupiers all three apply. We confirm it for your household before you see a number.
For eligible owner-occupiers, covering solar panels and inverters. The interest-free loan can spread the remaining cost of the solar. Neither covers a battery: the Solar Victoria battery rebate and loan closed in 2025.
Certificates on the solar panels, deducted from the price at the point of sale. You do not fill in or claim anything.
Around 30 percent off an approved battery through Cheaper Home Batteries, with no income test. It applies to a small battery just as it does to a large one.
An older home needs the electrical side done properly before the solar side means anything.
Every installer we send is a Powerband A-Grade electrician or works under one. Switchboard upgrades are everyday work for us, not something handed to a subcontractor.
If a smaller array and one battery module cover your household, that is what we quote.
Accredited through Solar Accreditation Australia and a New Energy Tech Approved Seller, with the consumer protections that carries.
We also replace old ducted gas with reverse cycle, and can size the solar for it. See heating and cooling in Hampton Park.

Not in every case. Some boards take a solar circuit as they are. A battery with backup usually needs a modern board. We inspect it at the site visit and the quote states clearly whether an upgrade is included.
Almost certainly. A single-storey hip or gable roof in Hampton Park has room for a worthwhile system on its north, east and west faces. Nearby jobs on this page run from 6.65kW to 8.8kW.
Yes. We fit a hybrid inverter that is ready for a battery, and with modular brands such as Sigenergy and GoodWe the storage can be added in stages. The federal battery discount applies when the battery goes in.
No. Most homes of this age in Hampton Park are on single-phase supply, and all three nearby systems on this page suit a single-phase home. We confirm your supply at the site visit because it decides the inverter and the export limit.
On an outside wall, usually the shaded side of the house near the switchboard, clear of windows and doors as the rules require. One of the nearby jobs on this page has its battery on an exterior wall.
The install itself is normally a day on a single-storey home. The network approval before it usually sets the date. A recent job in nearby Lyndhurst went from quote to commissioning in under a month.
We check the switchboard and the roof, then send a written quote with the system size, any board upgrade and the price after rebates. No obligation.
