Answers To The Most Common Residential Solar Questions
Eligible owner-occupiers can claim the Solar Victoria PV rebate up to $1,400, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to $1,400 repaid over 4 years. From 1 July 2025, there is also a federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount of about 30% on eligible batteries. For hot water, Solar Victoria offers up to $1,000, or up to $1,400 if you choose an eligible locally made heat-pump or solar hot water system.
No. From 1 July 2025, the Essential Services Commission stopped setting a minimum FiT. Retailers now set their own rates, which cannot be below zero. It is worth shopping around and checking plan conditions.
On single-phase supplies, Powercor typically allows up to a 10 kW inverter with a 5 kW export limit per phase, subject to connection approval. Powercor is trialling flexible or dynamic export limits that can allow higher exports when the local network can accept it, but this is not yet universal.
Yes. At Winki Energy, we manage end-to-end, and Solar Victoria’s process requires your authorised retailer to upload the quote, obtain DNSP pre-approval and get your eligibility QR code before installation. Installations must occur within 120 days of approval for existing homes.
Most Ocean Grove addresses sit on the Powercor network. Your distributor determines export limits and connection rules. You can confirm your address using the Victorian government distributor finder or Powercor’s postcode locator.
Yes, we install Powerwall 3. AGL’s current VPP eligibility page lists Tesla Powerwall 2 and Powerwall 3. Joining a VPP can also help meet the federal battery discount requirement that systems are VPP-ready. Terms and credits vary by retailer.
Standard grid-tied solar shuts down during an outage for safety under anti-islanding rules. A battery system with backup functionality, like Powerwall, can supply selected circuits. Installers and inspectors must test anti-islanding behaviour under Victorian regulations.
No. Solar Victoria stopped taking applications for interest-free battery loans in August 2025. Households now rely on the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount delivered via retailers and installers.
Our products include brands such as AIKO, REC, and Trina panels, Fronius, Enphase, and Sungrow inverters, as well as Tesla, Enphase, Sungrow, and Sigenergy batteries. Additionally, we offer EV chargers from myenergi Zappi, Tesla, and Wallbox. Our recent local case studies include major installations of solar panels in Ocean Grove, as well as nearby installations with Tindo panels, Fronius, Enphase, and Tesla Powerwall 3.
Solar Victoria requires the retailer to secure DNSP pre-approval, then you receive an eligibility QR code. Installation for existing homes must be completed within 120 days of that approval. Powercor states that connection applications are usually answered the same day, often within minutes, which helps keep timelines tight.
