We check the shade from gum trees, neighbouring roofs and the slope of the street before a single panel is drawn. Jinko and Aiko panels, Sigenergy and GoodWe storage, installed by our own A-Grade electricians.
Mount Waverley earns its name. Plenty of streets climb and fall, so two houses a few doors apart can face the sun very differently, and the mature trees that make the suburb pleasant to walk through also throw long shadows across roofs in winter. The housing is older than much of Monash too: postwar brick veneer and some weatherboard near the village and the station, then 1970s and 80s brick veneer further out.
That makes shade the first thing we look at. A face that is clear in December can lose hours in June to a neighbour gum or the house uphill, and we would rather leave it off the design than sell you panels that underperform. Older tile roofs get a close look as well, and if a roof needs attention before panels go on, you hear about it before the quote, not after.
Mount Waverley is about 50 minutes from our depot in Somerville. We service it with our own crews, not subcontractors, and the same fixed quotes we give closer to home. The solar design is one part of a bigger picture, alongside the electrical work we do in Mount Waverley.
The hardware is the same as anywhere. Where it goes and how it is wired is where Mount Waverley gets specific.
We map each roof face against the trees and buildings around it and put Jinko or Aiko panels only where they earn their keep. Sometimes that means a smaller array that produces more per panel than a crowded one.
Where part of an array is shaded for some of the day, the inverter and string layout matter. We design so that one shaded section does not drag down the rest, and explain the choice on the quote.
Sigenergy, GoodWe, Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow, usually in the garage or carport or on a side wall out of direct sun. Sized from your bills to carry the evening, with backup circuits for outages.
Postwar homes here often still have an early switchboard, and some carry a small solar system from years ago. We check both and price any board upgrade or old system removal into the same quote.
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 have not written up a Mount Waverley job yet. These three are the nearest, on homes much like the ones here.
The closest written-up job to Mount Waverley. Twenty-six Jinko Tiger Neo panels on a brick home with a single-phase Sigenergy SigenStor inverter and three battery modules on the outside wall.
An existing array was removed and replaced with fourteen Jinko panels in one row on the tiled roof, with a Sigenergy hybrid inverter and battery on the north wall directly beneath them.
All-black panels spread across west, east and south-east faces of a tiled roof, feeding a Sigenergy hybrid inverter and 24.18kWh of storage behind bollards in the garage.
One visit to measure, one written price, and usually a single day on site.
We read your bills and ask what is still on gas, so the system is sized for the house you will have, not just the one you have now.
Trees, neighbouring roofs, the slope, tile condition and roof access, all checked at the site visit.
Only the faces worth using, the inverter and battery models, and one price after the discounts you qualify for.
Network connection, Solar Victoria where eligible, and any owners corporation details you need for a unit or townhouse.
Our own crew installs the system, tests the backup circuits with you and sets up monitoring on your phone.
We check each against your household before the price is set, so the figure on the quote is the figure you pay.
Federal small-scale technology certificates reduce the price at the point of sale. No forms for you to lodge.
Around 30 percent comes off an approved battery under Cheaper Home Batteries, whatever your income. The state battery rebate and battery loan ended in 2025, so this is the only battery discount.
For eligible owner-occupiers, on solar panels and inverters only, with household income and property value tests. Thinking about the gas heater as well? See heating and cooling in Mount Waverley.
A shaded roof is where a careful design matters most.
We look at the winter sun, not just the summer one, and design around what the roof really gets.
Switchboards, old wiring and tired roofs are part of the job, handled by our own A-Grade electricians under REC 32300.
SAA accredited, New Energy Tech Approved Seller, and nobody subcontracted onto your roof.
We also install reverse cycle and heat pump hot water, so the system is sized for the gas appliances on their way out.

Often yes, on the faces it does not reach. We check the shade across the year and only include panels that will produce well. If the roof is too shaded, we will tell you.
It can, because the houses uphill shade lower roofs for longer in winter. We measure it on site rather than guess.
Old tiles can be brittle, so we walk the roof carefully and check the condition at the site visit. If the roof needs attention before panels go on, we tell you before quoting.
Usually, if you have your own roof area and meter. Shared roofs need owners corporation approval, and we can give you the drawings and details for that.
Yes. The battery stores whatever the panels make beyond your daytime use. A careful string layout keeps the shaded part from pulling the rest down.
Yes. If replacing an old system is the better option, we take it off and put the new one up in the same job.
We measure the roof and the shade, then send a written quote with the layout, battery, brands and after-discount price. No obligation.
