Green Electric Solutions just completed a 10.45kW solar installation in Bonnie Brook, Melton (3335) — and the numbers speak for themselves. This City of Melton homeowner walked away with $9,057 in Solar Victoria rebates and federal STCs, a fully grid-connected system running 22 × Jinko 475W panels, and a rooftop built to deliver real savings for years to come. Here’s exactly how it was done.

Bonnie Brook Homeowner Secured $9,057 in Solar Rebates — Here’s the Breakdown
Working with a CEC-approved solar retailer like Green Electric Solutions means full access to every available state and federal incentive. For this Bonnie Brook, Melton (3335) installation, that added up to $9,057 off the total system cost — applied upfront, not as a tax return later.
Total Rebates & Incentives Claimed:
| Incentive | Amount |
|---|---|
| Federal STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) | $2,736 |
| Additional STC Incentives | $4,921 |
| Solar Victoria Rebate | $1,400 |
| Total Government Support | $9,057 |
That’s $9,057 the homeowner didn’t pay out of pocket — making a premium 10.45kW system genuinely accessible, with a significantly faster payback period than a non-incentivised install.
13,819 kWh Annual Production — What This Melton Solar System Actually Delivers

| Performance Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Estimated Annual Solar Production | 13,819 kWh |
| Estimated Annual Bill Savings | $1,388 |
Why System Size Matters for Bonnie Brook Homes
Large new-build homes in Melton — many with 4–5 bedrooms, double garages, and north-facing roof sections — are ideal candidates for 8kW–13kW solar systems. An undersized 6.6kW system would leave significant rooftop potential and savings on the table. Green Electric Solutions sized this installation at 10.45kW specifically to match the property’s actual consumption profile — not just the minimum to qualify for rebates.
Why Bonnie Brook Homeowners Are Choosing 10kW+ Solar Systems
A 10.45kW system isn’t just a bigger version of the standard 6.6kW install — it’s a fundamentally different level of energy independence for a City of Melton home. Here’s what that extra capacity actually means in practice:
More generation when it counts most Ducted air conditioning, electric hot water, pool pumps, EV charging — the heavy daytime loads that drain a smaller system are handled comfortably. This Bonnie Brook home generates enough to run the household at peak and still export to the grid.
Shorter payback, stronger ROI The more expensive grid electricity you displace at peak rates, the faster the system pays for itself. At current Victorian tariff rates, a 10.45kW system displaces significantly more grid power than a 6.6kW — that gap widens every time electricity prices move up.
Battery-ready from day one This system was designed with future battery storage in mind. When this homeowner decides to add a home battery — and claim the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount of approximately 30% — the solar capacity is already there to charge it properly.
22 × Jinko 475W panels — more watts, less roof High-wattage panels mean fewer panels needed to hit 10.45kW. That preserves usable roof space, keeps the install clean, and leaves room to expand if needed.
