Solar and batteries for new homes in Armstrong Creek and Mount Duneed
Pre-wiring, builder upgrades and all-electric homes
Armstrong Creek, Mount Duneed, Charlemont and Connewarre make up Geelong’s main new-home growth corridor. Most homes here are less than 15 years old and built to newer energy rules, and a growing number are all-electric with no gas connection.
That changes the job. Switchboards are modern and usually have room for a battery, but roofs are often small and broken up, with several faces at different angles. Many homes also came with a small builder solar system, often around 2 to 3 kW, that is too small to charge a battery properly.

Building now? Pre-wire before the plaster goes on
If your home is still being built, we can run the solar and battery cabling before the plaster goes on, so the cables are hidden and a full system can be added later without opening walls. We work directly with many Geelong builders; see solar for new builds in Geelong and our new-build guide.
Already moved in with a small builder system? We can add panels on other roof faces and a battery. Typical prices are in our price guide.
Solar in Armstrong Creek and Mount Duneed FAQs
My new Armstrong Creek home came with solar. Can I add a battery?
Usually, yes. Most builder systems here are 2 to 3 kW, which is too small to fill a battery. We normally add panels on other roof faces and either swap in a hybrid inverter or fit a battery with its own inverter. Modern switchboards in new estates usually make this straightforward.
Should I get solar through my builder or separately?
Builder packages are convenient but often small and entry-level. Many Mount Duneed and Armstrong Creek owners ask us to pre-wire during the build and install a full system after handover. That way you choose the size and brands, and the cabling is still hidden in the walls.
Do all-electric homes in Mount Duneed need a bigger system?
Generally, yes. Without gas, heating, hot water and cooking all run on electricity, so evening use is higher. Most of our recent Mount Duneed installs paired 7 to 14 kW of panels with an 18 to 25 kWh battery. We size it from your bills or, for a new home, from the appliance list.
