Solar and battery systems designed around your home, your usage and your energy goals — installed by our own A-Grade electricians across Melbourne. We work with leading brands including Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall, Sungrow, Fronius and SolarEdge, with eligible rebates and incentives applied to your quote.
Most solar quotes in Melbourne start with a package (6.6kW, 10kW, 13kW) and work backwards to your roof. We start with your usage, your roof and what else you are planning to electrify, and design a system that covers it. Sometimes that means a smaller array than the last quote you got. Sometimes it means a bigger battery. The point is simple: you get a system designed for how your home actually uses energy, with a clear after-rebate price before you commit.
Powerband is a solar-accredited installer and New Energy Tech Approved Seller, with licensed electricians handling your system from design through installation. We also install the heat pumps, air conditioning and EV chargers that can make the most of your solar energy. Planning to take the whole house off gas? Start with our home electrification services. It means we can size your solar and battery system around the way your home will actually use energy — not just today's electricity bill.
Three parts working together: solar panels, battery storage and the technology that controls them. We supply and install the complete system, using products with Australian warranty support.
We match the panel and inverter to your roof, energy use and budget rather than pushing a standard package. We consider orientation, shading, available roof space and how much electricity you actually use during the day.
Stores excess solar during the day so you can use more of your own energy in the evening. We size the battery around your actual evening load and configure backup circuits with you before we leave..
Every system leaves with monitoring set up on your phone so you can see generation, storage and export. Solar-aware EV charging and hot-water control can also be added, helping you use more of your solar energy at home instead of exporting it to the grid.
Five steps from sunlight to the energy you use at home — with the battery helping you make more of your solar after the sun goes down.
Sunlight hits the panels and produces direct current. Output depends on the size of the system, roof orientation, shading and your local conditions — which is why we design around your actual roof rather than a standard kit.
DC becomes the AC your home runs on. A hybrid inverter can manage both solar generation and battery storage in one system. The right setup depends on your existing equipment, future plans and how you use energy.
Anything running during the day, from the fridge to the heat pump to the EV, is powered from the roof before you need to draw additional electricity from the grid.
When your solar produces more than the home is using, the surplus can charge the battery instead of being exported. You can then use that stored energy later when solar production falls.
With a compatible battery and backup circuits configured, selected essential circuits can continue operating when the grid goes down. We agree on those circuits with you before installation.
Eligible rebates, discounts and incentives can make a significant difference to the upfront cost. We check what applies to your system and show the relevant benefit in your quote before you commit.
Eligible Victorian households may be able to access Solar Victoria rebates and interest-free loans for solar and battery systems. We check the requirements with you and help with the application process where applicable.
Eligible solar systems can receive an upfront discount through the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. We apply the relevant STC benefit to your quote rather than leaving you to work it out afterwards.
Eligible battery installations may receive a federal discount through the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. The amount depends on the system and installation circumstances, so we confirm the applicable benefit when we quote.
A solar-only installer can size to what your home used last year. We look at where your energy use is heading — including heating & cooling, hot water systems, induction cooking and EV charging — so the system can work with the home you actually want.
Powerband's solar installations are backed by Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation, with every panel and battery installed by our own A-Grade electricians. We don't subcontract the installation.
If you're also moving away from gas heating, hot water or cooking, we account for that future electricity use when sizing your solar and battery. You're not just buying for today's bill — you're planning for the home you're moving towards.
We identify the rebates, discounts and incentives that may apply to your system, show them clearly in the quote and help with the relevant application or documentation. Eligibility is confirmed before you commit.
Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall, Sungrow, Fronius, SolarEdge, GoodWe, Jinko and Aiko. We choose products with established support and warranty pathways in Australia, and we'll explain why we're recommending each option.

It depends on system size, battery capacity and your switchboard. Rebates and STCs come off the top and Solar Victoria offers interest-free loans on both solar and batteries for eligible households. We give you a fixed after-rebate figure at the site inspection, not a range.
We size to your daytime usage and, if you are going all-electric, to the new load from heat pumps, induction and EV charging. A 6.6kW system suits a lot of Melbourne homes, but a house with an EV and a heat pump hot water unit often justifies more. The site inspection settles it.
In Melbourne, usually yes once you have a decent evening load. The battery moves your own solar into the 4pm to 9pm peak, which is when grid power costs the most, and it gives you blackout protection. The current rebates have shortened the payback considerably.
Panels carry 25-year performance warranties and typically produce well beyond that. Lithium batteries are generally warranted for 10 years and last 10 to 15. Inverters are usually the first thing replaced, at around 10 to 12 years.
Solar Victoria rebates on panels and batteries, plus interest-free loans, for eligible owner-occupiers. Federal small-scale technology certificates (STCs) on solar. A federal home battery discount for eligible installations. Eligibility depends on the property and household, and we confirm it before you commit.
Standard solar shuts down when the grid drops, for safety. With a battery and backup circuits configured, the essentials stay on. We set up the backup circuits with you as part of the install.
Yes. Commercial rooftop solar and battery systems for warehouses, offices, retail and multi-unit sites across Melbourne, including load analysis and export management with your retailer.
