Locally owned, locally run, and still here — designing and installing solar, batteries, EV chargers and heat pumps across Greater Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast.
Velocity Solar started in Geelong in 2011 and we've never worked anywhere else. From our base in Moolap we've watched the industry go through three rebate schemes, a battery boom, and a long list of companies who turned up, undercut everyone, and disappeared before the warranty period was out.
Our approach hasn't changed in that time: do it once and do it right. Every system is custom designed for the roof it's going on and the way the household actually uses power — not pulled off a price list. Our own crews do the work, and we're still the people you call in five years.
These figures come straight out of our job management system, which we changed over in June 2022 (solar and capacity data reaches back to 2019). Our real totals since 2011 are higher — we'd rather publish what we can verify than round up.
Awarded by REC Group to the Victorian installer setting the standard for design, workmanship and customer care. We've won it every year since 2022.
Since the federal battery rebate arrived in July 2025 we've installed 472 home batteries. Around 80% of the systems we sell now include storage — up from roughly 40% in the years before it.
That shift has changed how we design. A battery only pays for itself if the solar array, the inverter and the household's usage pattern are sized to work together, so every quote we write starts with your actual consumption data rather than a stock package.
We employ 16 installers and 6 in-house electricians, and we run an average of four crews a day across the region — plus dedicated service, maintenance and heat pump work. Keeping the trade in-house is the only way we can stand behind an installation years after it's signed off.
Between our owner, general manager, sales manager and installation manager there's more than 40 years of combined experience in the renewable energy industry, with our founder approaching two decades in solar. That experience is why the harder jobs — off-grid, commercial, awkward retrofits — tend to find their way to us.
Three quarters of our enquiries come from people who have already dealt with us — past customers, their neighbours and family, and the builders and referral partners we work alongside. The rest mostly find us on Google, where we hold a 4.9-star rating across 267 reviews.
We've never had to buy our way to a full schedule, and that's the number we're proudest of.
Solar is a licensed trade with a lot of paperwork behind it — and plenty of operators who'd rather you didn't look. Here's ours, in full.
Approved Solar Retailer status and New Energy Tech Consumer Code membership mean we're bound to a code of conduct covering sales, contracts, warranties and complaint handling.
Our office and warehouse are in Moolap, Geelong VIC 3224, and our crews are on the road across the region every day. We also assess projects further afield through regional Victoria case by case — particularly commercial and off-grid work.
