Solar & Battery Installation in Barwon Heads

If you’re weighing up solar or a home battery in Barwon Heads, you’ll want a local team that knows the area, understands coastal conditions, and turns up to do the work themselves. That’s us. Velocity Solar has been designing and installing solar and battery systems across the Bellarine, Surf Coast and greater Geelong since 2011, with more than 1600 installs behind us.

A trusted local choice for the Bellarine

Barwon Heads sits right in our home patch. Because we’re based nearby, our own installation crews handle every job from start to finish — we don’t hand your roof over to subcontractors. That means one team you can hold accountable, consistent workmanship, and someone local to call if you ever have a question down the track.

Velocity Solar was founded in 2011 by A-grade electrician Brad Ott, and we’ve grown into one of Geelong’s most trusted solar companies by keeping the work in-house and doing it properly.

Built for coastal homes

Homes near the coast come with their own considerations — salt exposure, weather, and a real appetite for energy independence when the grid gets busy. Our team designs each system around your roof, your daily energy habits and your goals, using quality panels and mounting hardware suited to the conditions in Barwon Heads and along the Bellarine.

What we install

• Solar panel systems — sized to your household and your roof, not a one-size-fits-all package.
• Home batteries — including Tesla Powerwall, SigEnergy and BYD, so you can store your daytime solar and use it in the evening or during outages.
• Heat pumps — efficient hot water that pairs neatly with your solar.
• EV chargers — charge at home, ideally from the sun.

Batteries and rebates

A lot of Barwon Heads homeowners are now looking at adding a battery to make the most of the solar they already generate. Storing your own energy lets you draw on it after the sun goes down instead of buying it back from the grid, and it gives you backup for when the power drops out. There are government rebates and incentives available that can help with the upfront cost of solar and battery systems, and our team will walk you through what you’re eligible for and how it applies to your setup — in plain English, no jargon.
