Generation potential
Roughly what a typical 6.6 kW system generates on a Melbourne rooftop, based on the area's average peak sun hours. Your real output depends on roof orientation, tilt and shading — we confirm it with a proper design.
- Use that generation on site instead of buying from the grid.
- Store the daytime surplus with a battery for evening use.
- Export the rest for a feed-in credit on your bill.

Our services in Melbourne
Inner Melbourne is a mix of apartments, period terraces and converted warehouses, so usable roof space, shading from neighbouring buildings, and owners-corporation approvals shape most solar and battery designs here far more than raw roof size. We plan systems around split roof orientations, meter access in shared buildings, and a clean battery pathway for homes that can't fit a large array today.

Melbourne solar & energy questions
Can I install solar on an apartment or shared building in Melbourne?
Often yes, but it depends on roof ownership and owners-corporation rules. We help assess whether the roof is common property, what approvals you'll need, and whether an individual or shared system makes the most sense.
Which network connects solar in the Melbourne CBD?
Most inner-Melbourne properties sit on the CitiPower network, which handles your solar connection and feed-in. We manage the paperwork and inverter settings so your export is approved correctly.
