Solar in Noble Park

Three roofs where there used to be one

Noble Park was built as a suburb of 1950s to 1970s houses on good-sized blocks. Over the past few decades a large share of those blocks have been redeveloped, and a single house has become two, three or four units or townhouses along a shared driveway. Walk the streets either side of the station and the pattern repeats block after block.

For solar, that changes the sums. A unit roof is a fraction of the size of the house it replaced, it is often cut up by hips and party walls, and the neighbouring unit can shade part of it. The answer is not to give up. It is to use fewer, higher-output panels on the faces that work, and a battery sized to what that roof can fill. Several of the smaller systems we have installed elsewhere carry 16 to 20 panels and still run the household through the evening.

Then there is the question of who has to agree. On a strata title the roof and outside walls may be common property, and the meters for every unit are often grouped at the front of the block. We check both before quoting, because they decide what can be installed and where the cables run. The original houses that remain have their own issue, which is an old switchboard. All of it is covered with our other work in Noble Park.

What we install in Noble Park

Compact systems, properly thought through

A small roof leaves less room for error, so the design matters more.

01

High-output panels on small roofs

Jinko Tiger Neo and Aiko panels at the top of their range, so a short row produces as much as a longer one did a few years ago. We place them on the faces clear of the next unit's shadow and leave shaded sections empty.

  • Jinko and Aiko panels
  • Shade from neighbours checked
  • Fewer panels, more output
02

Modular batteries

Sigenergy SigenStor and GoodWe batteries stack in modules, so storage can be matched to a modest array and added to later. In a townhouse the battery usually goes in the single garage, with bollards where a car parks beside it, or on a courtyard wall within the clearance rules.

  • Sigenergy and GoodWe
  • Start small, add modules
  • Garage or courtyard wall
03

Strata drawings and specifications

An owners corporation will want to know what is going on the roof, how it is fixed and where the cables and battery will be. We prepare a roof layout, equipment list and cable route you can attach to your request.

  • Roof layout drawing
  • Equipment data sheets
  • Cable route shown
04

Meter panel and switchboard work

On unit blocks we trace the run from the grouped meters at the front to your own board. In the older detached houses we often replace an original fuse board. Either way it is electrician's work, done by us and priced in.

  • Grouped meters checked
  • Old boards replaced
  • Certificate of Electrical Safety

How a Noble Park install runs

Permission, then design, then one day on site

On a strata title the approval step comes first, and we help you through it.

  1. 01
    Site visit

    Roof faces, shade from the units either side, the meter panel, your switchboard and the places a battery could go.

  2. 02
    Title and owners corporation

    We ask what your plan of subdivision says about the roof and walls, and give you the drawings to request approval where it is needed.

  3. 03
    Fixed quote

    Panel count and layout, inverter, battery modules, any board work and the after-rebate price.

  4. 04
    Paperwork

    Network connection application, federal discounts and Solar Victoria for eligible owner-occupiers, lodged by us.

  5. 05
    Install day

    We arrange parking and access so the shared driveway stays open for your neighbours. Most small systems are installed, tested and handed over the same day.

Rebates in Noble Park

Discounts that apply to small systems too

None of these has a minimum system size. A unit gets them the same as a house.

01
STCs at the point of sale

The federal small-scale technology certificates are worked out on the size of the solar and taken straight off the price.

02
Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan

Available to eligible owner-occupiers on the solar panels and inverter. It does not cover batteries. The Solar Victoria battery rebate and battery loan both closed in 2025.

03
Cheaper Home Batteries

The federal battery discount, around 30 percent off an approved battery with no income test. On a modular battery it applies to the modules you install.

Why Powerband in Noble Park

We take the awkward roofs seriously

Some installers will not quote a unit. We think a well-designed small system is worth doing.

01
A real design for a small roof

Each face measured, shade from the adjoining units checked, and a layout drawn. Not a standard package dropped onto a roof it does not fit.

02
Help with the strata side

We cannot approve the job for your owners corporation, but we give you everything they normally ask for and answer their questions.

03
Our own licensed people

SAA accredited, New Energy Tech Approved Seller, A-Grade electricians under REC 32300. No subcontractors in your driveway.

04
Heating from the same company

Units here suit split systems, and they run well on solar. We install those too. See heating and cooling in Noble Park.

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

Noble Park solar questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441. You will get an electrician, not a salesperson.

Is my Noble Park unit roof big enough for solar?

Usually, yes. Modern panels are far more powerful than they were, so a roof that takes only 10 to 16 of them can still make a worthwhile system. We measure the usable faces and tell you honestly if it does not stack up.

Do I need owners corporation approval?

If the roof or the walls the equipment is fixed to are common property, yes. Your plan of subdivision shows this. We provide the layout drawing, equipment details and cable route to go with your request.

Where does a battery go in a townhouse?

Most often in the garage, protected by bollards, or on an outside wall in the courtyard. The rules set distances from doors, windows and living areas, and we find a position that meets them.

The meters for our block are all together at the front. Is that a problem?

No, but it affects the cable run and sometimes the metering. We inspect the meter panel at the visit and allow for it in the fixed price.

Will the unit next door shade my panels?

Sometimes part of the roof is shaded for part of the day. We check it for your address and keep panels off the affected section, so the rest of the array is not held back.

Can a small solar system still fill a battery?

That is why we size the two together. A modular battery lets us match storage to what the roof produces, and add a module later if your usage changes.
