Take greater control of your household energy costs
Australian households are using more electricity than ever for air conditioning, home offices, electric appliances, pool equipment and EV charging while power prices keep putting pressure on the family budget. A well-designed residential solar system lets your home generate clean electricity during the day, reducing how much you buy from the grid and helping you build a more efficient, resilient and future-ready home.
SolarAide designs and installs residential solar and battery systems across Residential Solar Victoria and Melbourne across south-east. Every system is built around your property roof orientation, electricity usage, budget and long-term energy goals not a one-size-fits-all package.
Rebate handled for you: eligible Victorian homes can access the Solar Victoria rebate plus federal STCs. We check your eligibility and manage the paperwork so the discount comes off up front.

Why more Victorian families are choosing solar
A quality residential solar system delivers financial, environmental and practical benefits across the life of the installation.
Reduce electricity bills
Generate power at home and buy less daytime energy from your retailer.
Use clean energy
Run more of your home on renewable solar generated on your own roof.
Protect against rising costs
Reduce exposure to future price rises by producing part of your energy on-site.
Store excess solar
Add a compatible battery to use more of your solar after the sun goes down.
Prepare for an EV
Design your system with future EV charging and higher demand in mind.
Build a future-ready home
Solar, batteries, smart controls and EV charging that work together as needs change.
Choosing the right solar system size for your home
The best capacity depends on your daily electricity use, roof space, household size, daytime consumption, battery plans, EV requirements and available network approval.
| System size | Typical household | Possible daily output* | Battery ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6 kW | Small to average household | ~24–30 kWh | Yes, with compatible design |
| 8 kW | Medium household, higher daytime use | ~30–38 kWh | Yes, with compatible design |
| 10 kW | Large family, pool or home office | ~38–48 kWh | Yes, with compatible design |
| 13 kW+ | High-energy home, EV or larger battery | ~50–65 kWh | Yes, subject to system design |
*Output figures are broad estimates only. Actual production varies by season, weather, roof orientation, tilt, shading, equipment efficiency and system losses.
Store more of the solar energy your home produces
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. A home battery stores eligible surplus energy so you can use it later — in the evening or during selected higher-tariff periods. The right battery capacity depends on how much surplus solar your system produces, your evening consumption, the backup you want and your budget.
SolarAide installs a range of recognised battery brands and can recommend an AC-coupled, hybrid or integrated solution based on your existing solar and future plans.
Use more of your own solar
Shift daytime generation into the evening instead of exporting it cheaply.
Cut evening grid use
Draw less from the grid during peak-price periods.
Backup options
Selected backup for essential circuits, where your system supports it.
