40.8kW Solar System with 50kWh Battery Installation in Mount Macedon VIC 3441

In Mount Macedon (VIC 3441) — part of the Shire of Macedon Ranges, roughly 60km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD — a homeowner recently had a 40.8kW Jinko solar system paired with a 50kWh Sungrow battery installed by Green Electric Solutions, securing $30,049 in combined government rebates across solar and battery STCs. For large rural and semi-rural properties across the Macedon Ranges — Mount Macedon (VIC 3441), Macedon (VIC 3440), Woodend (VIC 3442), Gisborne (VIC 3437), and Lancefield (VIC 3435) — a 40kW-plus system with 50kWh of storage is the right sizing for homes with high energy demand, large rooftops, and limited grid reliability, where maximising self-consumption and building in blackout protection are the primary goals rather than simply offsetting a modest bill. With 10,000+ installations completed across Victoria, Green Electric Solutions is both NET-approved and Solar Victoria-approved, with SAA-certified technicians who handle every element of the design, installation, and rebate process so the homeowner captures the full $30,049 before incentive changes take effect — with the system expected to generate 55,657 kWh annually.

This large residential energy system is designed to maximise solar generation, battery storage, and long-term return on investment while protecting against rising electricity prices.
