What our customers say
Reviews from real upgrades
“They opened with Solar Homes and STC numbers, not a glossy brochure. Our battery quote showed gross, incentive and net — we signed because the paperwork matched what they promised.”
“National Upgrade walked us through VEU for the heat pump before anyone booked a crane. Felt more like a public service desk than a sales call.”
“Postcode check first, then a clear solar design. Installers arrived with credentials and left a tidy handover file. Bills are already softer.”
FAQs
Questions, answered
How big a system does an average Victorian home need?
Most family homes land between 6.6kW and 10kW of panels, but the honest answer comes from your bills, roof orientation and daytime usage.
Is a battery worth adding straight away?
It depends on evening usage and open incentives. We can design solar battery-ready if storage should wait.
Who handles rebate paperwork?
We manage STC discounts, state incentives and distributor approvals as part of the install.
How soon after I request a quote will someone call?
A consultant typically calls within one business day to gather usage details and book the next design step.
Do you only work in Victoria?
We are Melton-based but coordinate installs across Australia with accredited local crews.
