Solutions

Home energy solutions across Victoria

Four home energy solutions make a real difference to what a Victorian home spends on energy. They work best together, but each one stands on its own, and there is no wrong order to do them in.

01

Solar

Rooftop solar generates during the day and cuts what you buy from the grid. It is the most predictable return of the four, and Victoria’s Solar Homes rebate puts up to $1,400 toward it, plus an interest-free loan of up to $1,400.

Battery storage

A battery stores your daytime solar for the evening, instead of exporting it cheaply and buying it back at full price after dark. The federal discount applies when it is installed with solar — new or existing.

EV charging

A dedicated home charger is faster and safer than a power point, and it lets you charge from your own solar rather than the grid.

Heating and cooling

Reverse-cycle air conditioning is the most efficient way to heat a Victorian home, and replacing an old system can attract a discount through Victorian Energy Upgrades.

Not sure which solutions apply to you?

Two options, depending on how you would rather start.

Answer four questions about your property and we will show you a system that fits, with an indicative price beside it.

Or talk to someone. If your roof, switchboard or usage is unusual, a short conversation gets you further than any set of questions.
