Take Control of Your Home’s Energy with Solar

Installing solar allows you to generate your own electricity, reduce reliance on rising energy prices and take control of how your home is powered.

When the sun is shining, your solar system produces clean renewable energy directly from your roof. That energy can power your home during the day, helping reduce the electricity needed from the grid.

At O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville, we design and install high-quality solar systems tailored to each home. With expert design, premium equipment and trusted local installation, you can feel confident your solar investment will deliver reliable performance and long-term value.

Empowered: Affordable Renewable Energy

For many households, installing solar is a big step toward energy independence. Instead of relying entirely on electricity retailers, you can generate power from a renewable energy source available every day – the sun.

Many households install solar to:

  • Reduce electricity bills and protect against rising energy prices
  • Generate their own renewable power
  • Lower their household carbon footprint
  • Make better use of unused roof space

Many Australian homes save over $1,000* per year on electricity bills, making solar a practical long-term investment.

 

 

Solar Government Rebates that are Available in Victoria

Federal Solar Rebate (STCs)

Federal Solar Rebate (STCs)

Most solar installations in Australia qualify for the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). Under this program, solar systems generate Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) based on the system size and location.

These certificates are applied as an upfront discount on your installation, reducing the amount you pay for your system. In many cases, this rebate can reduce the cost of a solar installation by around 20–30% depending on the system size.

We manage this process for you, so the rebate is already applied when you receive your quote.

Victorian Solar Homes Rebate

Victorian Solar Homes Rebate

Victorian households may also be eligible for the Solar Victoria Solar Homes Program, which provides an additional rebate for new solar panel installations.

Eligible homeowners can receive:

Up to $1,400 off the cost of installing solar panels

The option of a matching interest-free loan up to $1,400 to further reduce upfront costs

This rebate is designed to help Victorian households lower energy bills and transition to renewable energy.

As the federal and Victorian incentives are separate programs, both can often be applied to the same solar installation, significantly reducing the upfront cost.

Our team will guide you through the process and ensure any eligible rebates are applied correctly as part of your quote process.

Choosing the Right Solar System Size

Supported: Quality Solar Systems Designed to Perform

A solar system is a long-term investment, so choosing reliable equipment is essential.

At O’Brien Electrical & Plumbing Rowville, we install trusted solar technology designed for performance and durability. Modern solar panels convert sunlight into electricity efficiently while advanced inverters manage energy production and system monitoring.

Most quality solar panels and inverters come with 25-year performance warranties, ensuring consistent energy generation for decades.

We supply and install leading solar technology.

Consider Adding Battery Storage

Many households now pair solar with a battery system to store excess energy generated during the day. This allows you to use solar energy even after the sun goes down and further reduce reliance on the grid.

Battery storage can help households:

  • Store excess solar energy for evening use
  • Reduce peak electricity costs
  • Increase energy independence
  • Maximise the value of their solar system

Our team can recommend battery solutions that will integrate seamlessly with your solar system.
