Solar Performance in Melbourne
Variable Weather Works
Melbourne's famous four-seasons-in-a-day weather doesn't stop solar working. Modern panels perform well in diffuse light and annual output averages out.
Victoria's $1,400 Rebate
On top of federal STCs, eligible Victorian households can claim $1,400 off their solar system through Solar Victoria.
Cooler Panels = Better Performance
Melbourne's cooler temperatures mean solar panels operate closer to their rated efficiency compared to hotter cities.
Battery Incentives
Victoria offers interest-free loans for batteries, plus the federal battery rebate. Batteries make extra sense in Melbourne's variable conditions.
