Narre Warren North is acreage, paddocks and large family homes in the hills north of the Princes Highway. We design solar and storage for the bigger loads that come with that, and our own A-Grade electricians install it from Somerville, about 40 minutes away.
Narre Warren North is not like the suburbs around it. Much of it is semi-rural, with homes on acreage among paddocks, hills and stands of old trees, and the houses tend to be large single-storey or two-storey brick homes. On the southern edge there are suburban streets that look more like neighbouring Narre Warren, but most of the suburb is open country.
Bigger properties use more power. Water pumps, a shed with tools or a workshop, a pool pump, ducted heating and cooling, and more often now an EV or two. The roof is usually big enough to carry a large array, and a large battery makes sense when the house keeps drawing power through the evening and overnight.
Distance is the other factor. On acreage the switchboard, the best roof face and the shed can be a long way apart, so cable runs and the battery position need planning before the price is set. We work that out at the site visit. See the rest of our Narre Warren North services.
Larger arrays, larger batteries and more planning on the ground.
Jinko and Aiko panels across the long, wide roofs common here. Where the roof, the supply and the network allow, arrays can run toward 20kW, like the 19.68kW Berwick system on this page.
Sigenergy, GoodWe, Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow, sized for the evening and overnight use of a bigger property. Backup circuits can include a water pump where it is wired suitably, so an outage does not leave you without water.
Some larger properties already have three-phase supply for a workshop or pumps. We confirm it on site and fit a three-phase hybrid inverter where it applies, which also allows a faster EV charger.
Cable runs between the house, the battery and any outbuilding are measured and priced up front. Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy and GoodWe chargers are set to charge from solar first.
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.
All three are in Berwick, a short drive south, on homes with big roofs and big loads.
Our largest Berwick array: 41 Jinko panels across a tin roof, a Sigenergy hybrid inverter, 40.3kWh of storage and a 7kW EV charger in the garage, so the car runs off the same system as the house.
34 Jinko panels on a tile roof, a Sigenergy home energy system and heat pump hot water, with the main switchboard upgraded and cement sheeting added to bring the job up to standard.
23 Jinko panels on a tin roof feed a single-phase Sigenergy hybrid inverter, and three SigenStor modules beside the switchboard carry the house through the evening and into the next morning.
About 40 minutes from our depot, and worth an unhurried site visit.
House, pumps, shed, pool, heating and any EVs, now and planned, so nothing is missed in the sizing.
Roof faces, trees, the supply phase, the switchboard and the distances between all of them.
Array, inverter, battery, backup circuits and any charger or extra cabling, with the rebates already taken off.
Export approval and any Solar Victoria application lodged by us, with a clear date once approval comes through.
Our own electricians fit and commission the system, usually over one to two days on a large home, then test the backup with you.
The bigger the battery, the more the federal discount is worth. The rest depends on eligibility.
Federal certificates that apply to eligible solar systems whatever your income, taken off at the point of sale. A larger array earns more of them.
For eligible owner-occupiers, on solar panels and inverters only, with tests on household income and property value that some larger properties will not meet. Batteries are not covered: the Solar Victoria battery rebate and loan closed in 2025.
Cheaper Home Batteries takes around 30 percent off an approved battery with no income test, and the saving grows with the size of the battery.
Large homes and long runs are routine work for us across the south east.
Long cable runs, sheds, pumps and three-phase supply are electrical problems before they are solar ones. Our A-Grade electricians handle them under REC 32300.

Often, if the pump is on a circuit that can be moved to backup and the battery and inverter can handle its start-up load. We check the pump and include it in the backup plan where it works.
The limit is the roof, the supply and what the network lets you export, not the size of the block. Large single-phase and three-phase systems are both possible, and we confirm the limits before quoting.
If the shed is already supplied from the house, it draws from the solar and battery like any other circuit. If it needs new cabling, we measure the run and price it into the quote.
It can. Bottled gas is an expensive way to heat and run hot water, so many owners plan to move both onto electricity, and the solar and battery should be sized for that from the start.
Not necessarily. If you already have it, we use it. Upgrading the supply is a bigger decision involving the network, and we only suggest it when the loads justify it.
Most large homes are done in one to two days. The power is off only for the switchover, and we agree the timing with you if pumps or animals rely on it.
