There's more to choosing solar than simply selecting a system size.
Your electricity consumption, when you use power, available roof space, orientation, shading and future energy requirements can all influence the solar system that's right for you. Energy Saving Shop helps homeowners and businesses find a practical solar panel installation solution in Melbourne based on their property and energy requirements.
Whether you're installing solar for the first time, planning for greater electrification or considering battery storage in the future, we can help you make an informed decision.
Talk to a Solar Specialist
Generate more electricity from your own roof and reduce the amount of power your household needs to purchase from the grid.
We design residential solar systems around factors such as:
Household electricity consumption
Daytime energy usage
Available roof space
Roof orientation and shading
Existing electrical infrastructure
Future heating and cooling requirements
Heat pump hot water
Electric vehicle charging
Future battery storageFor businesses that consume significant electricity during daylight hours, commercial solar can help offset grid electricity consumption and support longer-term energy-efficiency goals.
We provide commercial solar solutions for a range of properties and applications throughout Melbourne and Victoria.
System recommendations can take into account:
Current electricity consumption
Energy-efficiency objectives
Available roof area
Business operating hours
Site requirements
Future electricity demand
Choosing the right solar-system size is one of the most important parts of planning an installation.
You may come across systems advertised as 5kW, 6.6kW, 10kW or larger, but system capacity alone doesn't tell you which option is right for your property.
We consider several factors before recommending a system:
Your electricity bills provide a useful starting point for understanding how much energy your property consumes.
Solar produces electricity during daylight hours, so understanding when your household or business uses power can influence system design.
A complete solar system includes several components working together to generate usable electricity for your property.
Solar photovoltaic panels capture sunlight and generate DC electricity.
When selecting solar panels, factors such as efficiency, panel output, available roof area, manufacturer support, product warranties and overall system compatibility should be considered.
Energy Saving Shop works with recognised solar products to provide options for different properties and requirements.
The inverter is one of the most important components of your solar system.
It converts the DC electricity generated by your solar panels into AC electricity that can be used by appliances and equipment within your property. Depending on the system design, different inverter technologies may be appropriate.
The right choice should take into account:
Solar-system capacity
Panel configuration
Roof orientation
Shading conditions
Monitoring requirements
Future battery plans
Product compatibilityOur team can help match the inverter to the overall solar-system design rather than treating it as an isolated component.
Solar panels need to be securely mounted using a system suited to the property's roof type and installation requirements.
The system needs to be designed and installed in accordance with applicable electrical, product and installation requirements.
Compatible monitoring technology can help you see how much electricity your solar system is generating and track its performance.
Depending on the equipment installed, monitoring may also provide information about system operation and energy usage.
You don't necessarily need to install a battery at the same time as your solar panels.
If battery storage is something you're considering for the future, tell us during the system-design stage.
We can consider future compatibility when recommending your solar and inverter configuration.
Solar is relatively straightforward once you understand the basic process.
Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity using photovoltaic cells
The inverter converts DC electricity into AC power for your home or business.
Generated solar electricity powers appliances and equipment while the system is producing energy.
Unused electricity can be stored or exported to the grid, depending on your system and retailer arrangements.
Generating electricity at your own property can reduce the amount of electricity you need to purchase from your retailer.
Solar can also provide the foundation for adding energy storage in the future where appropriate.
Solar photovoltaic systems generate electricity from sunlight without direct emissions during normal operation.
Homes and businesses that consume electricity during solar-generation hours may be able to use more of the energy produced by their own system.
Generating part of your electricity onsite can reduce your reliance on electricity purchased from the grid.
Solar can complement other energy-efficient technologies such as reverse-cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water and electric vehicle charging.
A good solar installation isn't determined by one component alone.
Panels, inverter, mounting equipment and electrical components need to work together as a complete system.
That's why we consider:
Performance, efficiency, warranty and suitability for the installation.
An inverter appropriately matched to the solar array and property requirements.
Established products backed by appropriate manufacturer support and warranties.
Solar can become even more useful when considered as part of your property's overall energy strategy.
Energy Saving Shop can also assist with:
Replace inefficient heating with modern reverse-cycle heating and cooling and use solar-generated electricity when conditions allow.
Upgrade to an energy-efficient heat pump hot water system that can complement an increasingly electric household.
A good energy upgrade starts with choosing the right product for the application.
Energy Saving Shop works with a range of recognised manufacturers across solar, heating and cooling, hot water and lighting, allowing us to recommend solutions based on your property rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Eligible Victorian households may be able to access government support towards eligible solar installations.
Available incentives, eligibility requirements, approved products and program rules can change.
Rather than relying on an advertised rebate figure that may become outdated, speak with our team about your property and current circumstances.
We'll help you understand relevant options and direct you to the appropriate government program requirements.
Government incentives are subject to eligibility, program availability, approved products and current government requirements.
From Assessment to Installation
Let us know whether it's a home or commercial property, where you're located and what you want to achieve with solar.
We'll provide a system recommendation and explain the panels, inverter, system capacity and installation requirements.
Once you're ready to proceed, your solar system is installed and prepared for operation.
We'll consider your electricity consumption, available roof space and other factors that may influence the system design.
Where relevant, we'll help you understand applicable incentive and installation requirements.
Once commissioned, your system can begin producing electricity from the sun.
We look at how solar fits into your property's broader energy requirements.
Recommendations based on the property, electricity consumption and intended use rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Solar installations for both Victorian homeowners and businesses.
Solar panels, inverters and associated equipment selected with performance and reliability in mind.
Solar can be considered alongside heating and cooling, hot water and lighting upgrades.
Energy Saving Shop provides solar panel installation throughout Melbourne and selected areas across Victoria.
