Solar and battery Langwarrin South VIC 3911

Power the whole Langwarrin South property from the roof

Bigger homes, LPG bills and two cars in the driveway. We design Jinko panels and a Sigenergy, GoodWe or Tesla battery around the all-electric house you are heading towards, installed by our own A-Grade electricians about ten minutes away in Somerville.

Solar in Langwarrin South

Planning for the day the bottles go

Langwarrin South is acreage on the doorstep of our Somerville depot: lifestyle blocks, larger single-storey homes mostly built from the 1980s onward, horse paddocks and sheds set back from quiet roads. Mains gas does not reach every property, so a lot of households here heat, cook and make hot water with LPG. Most also run two cars, because the train and the shops are a drive away.

That turns a solar quote into a planning job. If the heating, the hot water and eventually the cars are all going to run on electricity, the array and battery have to be sized for that house, not only for today's power bill. We ask what you want to change over the next few years and size the system so each step can be added later without pulling down what went up first.

Done in that order, the LPG order shrinks with every change and the battery carries more of the evening. We look after the design from the roof to the meter board, along with everything on our Langwarrin South page.

What we install in Langwarrin South

One system, built to take on more

Each part is chosen with the next stage in mind, so nothing needs replacing when the house goes fully electric.

01

Arrays sized for a bigger house

Larger single-storey homes here usually have the roof area for a substantial array of Jinko or Aiko panels. We fill the faces that earn their place and choose an inverter with the headroom to cope when the heating and hot water move onto it.

  • Jinko and Aiko panels
  • Inverter sized for growth
  • Layout on the quote
02

Battery with chosen backup circuits

Sigenergy SigenStor, GoodWe ESA, Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow, sized to the evening load and wired so the circuits you pick stay on in an outage. On a semi-rural property that is often the fridge, lights, internet and the water pump.

  • Backup circuits chosen with you
  • Modular, add more later
  • Federal battery discount
03

Single or three-phase supply

Some properties out here have three-phase power and many do not. We confirm what is at the pole and the meter before choosing a single or three-phase hybrid inverter, and lodge the network application ourselves.

  • Supply confirmed on site
  • Network approval lodged
  • App monitoring
04

EV charging off the roof

A Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or GoodWe HCA charger on its own circuit, set to soak up daytime solar so the car fills from the roof while you are home.

  • Tesla, Sigenergy, GoodWe HCA
  • Solar-aware charging
  • Dedicated circuit

The whole experience of working with Powerband has been fantastic. From the get go they were helpful with the design, requirements and answering all the questions we had about the install. We couldn't be happier with choosing them for the job. Special thanks to Bailey and the team for getting the entire installation done in one day it was a huge job so for it to be done and to such a high standard is much appreciated Thanks everyone at Powerband for all you've done

We have just had a Braemer Dominator reverse cycle ducted system installed by the Powerband Electrical team to replace our gas-fired system. We were very happy with the whole process, from the sales/design discussions with Dayle to the installation by the team led by Julian and including Logan and Darren. Using the existing ducting had its challenges but the team overcame them well. Julian set up the AirTouch5 control system & zoning with us and with a sudden cold snap arriving it has proven simple to use to create a comfortable environment. In fact we are already finding it far more effective system than the considerably larger gas unit and a more uniform heat with less draughts. Thanks to the Powerband team. Ken in Glen Waverley

Petris and his electrical team did 2 inverter airconditioner installs as part of our whole solar system install. Great workers, good thinkers who could sort out a couple of small issues in short order and wonderful people to have around our house. Organised and professional. Highly recommend Powerband.

Had the Powerband team electrify out whole house. Updated the heating / cooling with split systems, replace gas cooktop & hot water and put solar on with a 30kw battery. No gas bill, solar is producing more energy than we consume. These days we barely even have the supply charge. As part of it, they put the package together of what we wanted and needed to future proof our house and showed us several options for paying for it, in the end we opted for a 5-year interest free loan. Looking at our numbers, most of the loan will be paid off from the savings from our gas and electricity savings. All the work and upgrades done and barely any out of pocket cost, nice.... The team were great - worked in with timing for the jobs when it worked for us. The boys on site were all great, friendly, polite and professional. Did the job well and packed up (and cleaned up) well. Happy to recommend Powerband to anyone wanting to electrify their house in a cost-effective way.

FAQ

Langwarrin South solar questions

Have a question about your property? Call 0466 355 441.

We are on LPG. Solar first, or change the appliances first?

Solar first usually makes more sense, sized for the appliances you plan to change. That way the heat pump hot water or reverse cycle runs partly on your own power from the day it goes in.

How big a system does an all-electric acreage home need?

It depends on the house and how you live in it. We work it out from your power bills, your LPG use and the appliances you plan to add, then show the sizes on the quote.

What can the battery keep running in a blackout?

The circuits you choose, within the limits of the battery and inverter. Common picks are the fridge, lights, internet and a water pump. Whole-house backup is possible on some systems but costs more.

Should we add the EV charger now or later?

Either works. If a charger is likely, we allow for the circuit at the switchboard now, so adding it later is a short job.

Will an acreage home qualify for the Solar Victoria rebate?

If you are an eligible owner-occupier and meet the income and property value rules, it applies to the panels and inverter. It does not apply to the battery. We check before quoting.

Can solar replace our LPG hot water?

Panels do not heat water on their own, but a heat pump hot water unit timed to run in the middle of the day uses mostly solar power. We install those as well and can include one in the same job.
