RESIDENTIAL SOLAR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers To The Most Common Residential Solar Questions

Decorative frame graphic used on the Winki Energy website
Do you actually service Highton or just greater Geelong?

Yes. Winki’s Highton location team delivers solar, batteries, EV chargers and heat pumps for homes throughout Highton.

Victorian Solar Panel Rebate: up to $1,400 off eligible PV systems, with an optional interest-free loan up to the same amount. This is a state program that sits on top of federal incentives.

Yes. From 1 July 2025, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program provides around a 30% upfront discount on eligible batteries. It is delivered through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme using STCs and generally applied at the point of sale by approved retailers and installers. It can operate alongside Victorian programs where eligibility allows.

Highton properties are typically on the Powercor network. Your distributor runs the poles and wires and must pre-approve solar export capacity before installation. Powercor’s process involves export pre-approval via eConnect, then installation, connection and notification. Always check your bill or use Powercor’s postcode locator to confirm your specific address.

From 1 July 2025, Victoria no longer sets a state-wide minimum solar feed-in tariff. Each retailer offers its own rate above zero. The practical takeaway for Highton solar customers is to compare retailer FiTs and overall plan pricing, not just the headline rate.

Short list here.
• Panels: REC, Aiko, Trina
• Inverters: Enphase, Fronius, Sungrow
• Batteries: Tesla, Enphase, Sungrow, Sigenergy
• EV chargers: Zappi, Tesla, Wallbox
These are listed on our Products page……………………………………………………………………………………

Yes, at Winki Energy, we have Tesla among our battery options and Powerwall 3 is supported in Australia. Powerwall 3 is eligible under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program when installed to an eligible PV system and when other criteria are met. Always confirm final eligibility at quote.

We offer a 10-year workmanship warranty, a 10-year inverter warranty, and 25-year product and performance warranties on panels. Exact manufacturer terms vary by brand or model.

Outline only, since timing depends on your retailer, distributor and meter work.

  1. Free site assessment and tailored design.

  2. Powercor export pre-approval.

  3. Installation by accredited electricians.

  4. Inspection, connection, and retailer meter setup.

 

We offer free assessment and end-to-end management. However, your final timeline depends on pre-approval, stock, and meter changeover.
