New-estate solar in Epsom.

Solar-ready new-estate roofs.

The new estates spreading across Epsom and out towards Huntly are built with modern Colorbond or concrete-tile roofs at consistent pitches, usually with good north or west aspects and little shading. For a solar installer that is close to ideal — clean roof penetrations, a modern switchboard with spare capacity, and no surprises in the roof cavity. Installs go in quickly and neatly, which keeps the cost down.

Battery interest from the start.

Epsom households are increasingly asking for a battery alongside their solar rather than as an afterthought. New homes tend to have higher evening loads (induction cooking, ducted climate control, EVs on the way), and a battery banks the daytime sun to cover that peak. With the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program (from 1 May 2026) taking roughly 25 per cent off storage, doing solar and battery together now makes real financial sense.

Rebate-ready owner-occupiers.

Most Epsom homes are owner-occupied, so residents can claim the Solar Victoria rebate (up to $1,400 plus an interest-free loan) on top of the federal STC discount already built into the system price. We design to the Powercor export rules, lodge the rebate and connection paperwork, and set the inverter up for the flexible-export requirement on new Victorian connections.
