What a Lara customer said
“Absolutely outstanding service! When a small issue occurred after a routine solar panel service (a tile was accidentally left off the roof), that caused water damage after some storms, Velocity Solar handled it with complete professionalism and care. They responded quickly, communicated clearly, and resolved everything in an incredibly timely manner. … It’s rare to find a company that stands behind its work like this.”

Solar in Lara FAQs
Do you install in Lara’s newer estates?
Yes. A lot of our Lara work is in the newer estates, where switchboards are modern and there is usually room for a battery. We have installed at more than 100 Lara addresses since 2016, and recent jobs include solar and battery systems of 10 to 19 kW.
Can a Lara acreage take a bigger three-phase system?
Often. Larger Lara blocks with three-phase power can take 15 to 20 kW of panels and a three-phase battery. One recent Lara home paired 18.9 kW of panels with a 48 kWh SigenStor. Export limits from Powercor still apply, so we check yours first.
