Solar and batteries for Belmont, Grovedale and Waurn Ponds

Established homes, first-generation systems and modern upgrades

Belmont and Grovedale are two of Geelong’s most established suburbs, with large numbers of 1960s to 1990s brick homes on single-storey, mostly tiled roofs. Waurn Ponds and the southern edge of Grovedale add newer estates near Deakin University and the Waurn Ponds shopping centre.

Two jobs come up again and again. The first is replacing a small first-generation system from the early 2010s with modern panels and a hybrid inverter. The second is the switchboard: many older homes need an upgrade before a battery can be added, which we check at the site visit.

Replace, extend or add a battery?

If your panels are more than about 12 years old and the inverter has failed or is near the end of its life, replacing the system usually beats repairing it, and it lets you add a battery under the federal rebate. If your system is newer, we can add a battery to it instead.

Our price guide shows typical prices for all three options after rebates.

Solar in Belmont and Grovedale FAQs

My Belmont solar system is over 10 years old. Should I replace it?

Often, yes, if the inverter is failing or the system is under 3 kW. Modern panels produce far more from the same roof, and a hybrid inverter lets you add a battery. If the panels are still sound, we may only replace the inverter. We test the system and give you both prices.

Do tiled roofs in Grovedale cost more to install on?

A little. Tiles take longer than tin because each bracket needs tiles lifted and refitted, and some older tiles break and must be replaced. Our price guide lists roof type as one of the things that moves the price, and we include it in your fixed quote.
