Solar panel installation in Bendigo.
CEC-accredited installation of Tier-1 solar panels with quality inverters, sized to your bills and your north-facing roof. Solar Victoria rebate ready, Powercor pre-approval handled, fully compliant to AS/NZS 5033 and 4777.
A properly sized solar system for your Bendigo home.
Tier-1 panels and reliable inverters.
We install Tier-1 solar panels — Trina, Jinko and REC — matched with Fronius or Sungrow inverters. These are the brands that hold their output over a 25-year life, carry genuine performance and product warranties, and have local support if anything ever fails. We don’t fit no-name inverters that drop out in Bendigo’s summer heat and leave you stranded when the cut-price installer disappears.
Sized to your bills, not oversold.
The right system size is the one that covers your daytime use and fills your roof efficiently — not the biggest number a salesperson can write. A 6.6kW system suits most single-phase Bendigo households and is the sweet spot for the Solar Victoria rebate. Larger homes, three-phase supplies, or anyone planning a battery or EV charger usually step up to 10kW or more. We model your quarterly bills and roof orientation before we recommend a size.
Indicative 2026 pricing.
- 6.6kW system: $5,000–$6,500 installed after STCs (around $3,000–$4,000 after the Solar Victoria rebate)

- Per watt: roughly $0.88–$0.95 fully installed including the federal STC discount
- Switchboard upgrade (if required): quoted as a separate line item, never a day-of surprise
Rebates, standards and the Powercor connection.
As a Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installer and designer we install every array to AS/NZS 5033 (PV array installation) and AS/NZS 4777 (grid connection of inverters), wired to AS/NZS 3000. We lodge your Solar Victoria rebate and the federal STCs (small-scale technology certificates, already discounted off the price), and we handle the Powercor pre-approval and connection — including the flexible-export / Emergency Backstop setup now required on new Victorian connections.
Why we don’t cut corners.
A solar system lives on your roof for a quarter of a century in full Victorian sun, wind and frost. Skimping on panel quality, inverter quality or array sizing is a false economy that shows up as lost generation and dead systems within a few years. We use quality gear, size it honestly, and stand behind the install.

Solar panel installation FAQs.
How much does a 6.6kW solar system cost in Bendigo?
Typically $5,000–$6,500 installed after STCs, or roughly $3,000–$4,000 out of pocket after the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan. A 10kW system runs $8,500–$11,000 before the Victorian rebate.
What size solar system do I need?
A 6.6kW system suits most single-phase Bendigo homes and is the sweet spot for the rebate. Bigger homes, three-phase supplies, or anyone adding a battery or EV usually go 10kW+. We size to your actual bills and roof, not to oversell.
Do I need a new switchboard for solar?
Sometimes — older Eaglehawk and California Gully homes often have an ageing board without room or safety switches for a compliant connection. If yours needs upgrading we tell you up front and quote it as a line item.
