13.3kW Solar And 27.84kWh Battery Installation In Wollert
Green Electric Solutions is one of a limited number of VEU-approved commercial solar installers, and our team stays busy with both commercial and residential projects. One recent job was a residential solar and battery installation in Wollert, Victoria, pairing a 13.3kW Trina Solar photovoltaic system with 27.84kWh of FoxESS battery storage. Combining rooftop generation with substantial battery storage gives a home more flexibility to use its own solar energy well beyond the hours of peak sunshine.
How A 13.3kW Solar System and 27.84kWh Battery Work Together
Before a single panel was installed, the Green Electric Solutions team sat with the homeowner to understand their energy consumption, assess on-site conditions and evaluate the roof layout. This planning process helped determine how the solar panels could be positioned to make effective use of available roof space and align the system design with the property’s energy requirements.
Solar panels generate electricity when sunlight reaches the roof, but household demand does not necessarily follow the same schedule. Pairing solar panels with a battery stores surplus daytime electricity for later use, depending on battery capacity and household demand. For this Wollert property, Green Electric Solutions installed a 13.3kW solar PV system alongside a 27.84kWh battery.
| System Component | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Solar System Capacity | 13.3 kW |
| Solar Panel Model | Trina Solar TSM-475NEG9RH.28 |
| Individual Panel Capacity | 475 W (28 × 475 W = 13.3 kW) |
| Inverter Model | FoxESS H3-10.0-Smart, H3-Smart Series (AS/NZS 4777.2:2020) |
| Inverter Capacity | 10 kW rated AC output (10,000 VA), with up to 20 kW maximum PV input |
| Battery Model | FoxESS CQ7-L4 (W), CQ7 Series |
| Total Battery Capacity | 27.84 kWh nominal capacity |
| Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Capability | Yes VPP-capable |
The 13.3kW solar system is estimated to generate 16,414 kWh of electricity annually, with projected yearly savings of approximately $2,235.65.
$11845 Solar And Battery Rebates In Wollert Solar Project
The Australian Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) helps eligible homeowners reduce the upfront cost of solar and battery installations through financial incentives. This project secures 91 Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for solar PV and 151 STCs for battery storage. This project secures a total of $11,845 in solar incentives; however, the final rebate and homeowner savings must be verified against eligibility, applicable program requirements and confirmed certificate values.
| Government Rebate or Incentive | Amount (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Solar PV STCs (91 STCs × $38.00) | −$3,458.00 |
| Battery STCs (151 STCs × $37.00) | −$5,587.00 |
| Solar Victoria PV Rebate | −$1,400.00 |
| Solar Victoria PV Interest-Free Loan | −$1,400.00 |
| Total Government Incentives Listed | $11,845.00 |
How We Installed 28 Trina Solar Panels On A Wollert Home
A good solar installation is only as strong as its weakest connection, so we treat the roof, inverter and switchboard as one system. On the roof, we lift the tiles, fix tile hooks to the rafters, then replace the tiles so the roof stays watertight. Aluminum rails are levelled across the hooks, and the panels are clamped on in aligned rows, clear of the roof edge.
Panel strings are wired with UV-rated solar cable, clipped off the roof surface to meet AS/NZS 5033, and all frames are bonded and earthed for fault safety. The inverter is mounted on a shaded brick wall with the manufacturer’s clearances. DC cables run in UV-rated conduit to a DC isolator beside it, and a separate AC cable runs to the switchboard. We seal all conduit entries against moisture and insects, then set the inverter to grid settings under AS/NZS 4777.

Solar Inverter Wiring, Switchboard Upgrades And Electrical Safety Checks
At the meter box, the PV and ES points are clearly labelled. We install a dedicated solar main switch and an RCBO (a combined breaker and earth-leakage device) for the inverter circuit, with all wiring torqued, colour-coded and labelled. The meter is set for bi-directional metering, so imported and exported energy are recorded separately. Before switching on, we test insulation resistance, polarity, voltage, current, earth continuity and RCD trip function.
We then confirm the inverter syncs with the grid and matches the design. The homeowner receives a monitoring app walkthrough, the shutdown procedure, and compliance paperwork.
