Solar sized for a busy household, a battery for the evening rush and a charger for the car that never sits at a train station. Designed and installed by our own A-Grade electricians, who service Rowville from Somerville, about 40 minutes up EastLink.
Most of Rowville went up in the 1980s and 1990s: brick veneer family homes on decent blocks, a lot of them double storey, nearly all with hipped concrete tile roofs. Those roofs are big but broken into several faces, and many carry an evaporative cooler as well. Fitting a useful system means drawing the panels around the hips and the cooler rather than filling one face and stopping.
The households are what really shape the design. Rowville has no train line, so many households run two cars, and a full family home means a heavy evening load and, increasingly, an EV in the garage. We size the panels and battery for that from the start, and plan an EV charger into the system even if the car is a year or two away.
Supply phase varies from street to street, so we confirm it before choosing the inverter. Single-phase homes get a single-phase hybrid, three-phase homes a three-phase unit with room for a bigger charger. Read about our other work around the suburb on the Rowville page.
Each part is chosen for how your family uses power, and installed by Powerband employees.
Jinko and Aiko panels set out over the north, east and west faces of a hip roof, working around the evaporative cooler and any skylights. On a two-storey Rowville home we plan safe access to the upper roof as part of the job.
Sigenergy, GoodWe ESA, Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow, sized from your interval data or bills so the cooking, washing and screens after school run on stored solar.
Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or GoodWe HCA chargers, set to soak up spare solar during the day. In a two-car household the charger often saves more than the battery.
One inverter runs panels and battery. We check whether your Rowville home is single or three phase, then pick the unit and lodge the network application.
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 Rowville job yet. These three show the kind of system we design for homes like yours.
Just to the north-east in Ferntree Gully, 38 Jinko panels on a tile roof run a three-phase Sigenergy system with four battery modules and a Sigen EV charger.
A double-storey, three-phase home with a terracotta roof across several planes. 24 Jinko panels feed a GoodWe inverter, with five battery modules on the north wall.
In Oakleigh South, 26 Jinko panels feed a single-phase Sigenergy inverter with three battery modules on the outside wall. No Solar Victoria rebate was used.
About 40 minutes from our depot. We book the visit and the install so nothing waits on us.
We look at when your household uses power and what is coming, such as an EV or a move off gas.
Roof faces, cooler position, supply phase and where the battery and charger can sit.
One price after the discounts you qualify for, with a battery-sized and a charger-ready option where it helps.
Panels, inverter, battery, charger and any switchboard work. A typical system is finished in a day.
App set up, charger and backup tested, Certificate of Electrical Safety issued.
Each has its own rules. We work them out before the quote, not after.
The federal small-scale technology certificates come off the price at point of sale on any eligible system.
Cheaper Home Batteries, around 30 percent off an approved battery, no income test. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or loan, as both closed in 2025.
Owner-occupiers who qualify get it on the panels and inverter, never the battery. Whether a Rowville household qualifies depends on income and property value, so we check it rather than assume it.
We design around the next five years of your household, not only this quarter's bill.
Two cars and a battery can compete for the same solar. We set them up so they share it sensibly.
Most Rowville homes run ducted gas. We also fit reverse cycle, so the system is sized for it. See heating and cooling in Rowville.
SAA accredited, New Energy Tech Approved Seller, and the electricians on your roof are our own A-Grade staff.

Yes. We lay the panels out around the cooler and keep clear access to it. On most Rowville hip roofs there is still plenty of usable space on the other faces.
It varies by street and by whether the supply has been upgraded. We check the meter and switchboard at the site visit and choose the inverter to suit.
If a car is likely soon, plan it now. Wiring and inverter choice are simpler at the start, and the charger can be added later on the same plan if you prefer.
It depends on your evening use, not the number of people. We size it from your bills or meter data so it covers the evening peak without paying for capacity you rarely use.
Yes. We plan edge protection and access for the upper roof as part of the install.
With backup circuits set up, the essentials stay on and the panels keep recharging during the day. We test it with you at handover.
A site visit, then a written quote with the panel layout, battery and charger options and the after-discount price. No obligation.
