In Wollert (VIC 3750) — part of the City of Whittlesea in Melbourne's rapidly expanding northern corridor — a homeowner recently had an 8.075kW Trina solar system paired with 27.84kWh of FoxESS battery storage installed by Green Electric Solutions, securing $10,477 in combined government rebates. For households across the Whittlesea LGA — Wollert (VIC 3750), Mernda (VIC 3754), Doreen (VIC 3754), South Morang (VIC 3752), and Epping (VIC 3076) — this system size is well suited to new-build family homes with high evening energy demand, delivering an estimated 10,477 kWh of annual solar production and $1,674 in yearly bill savings. GES is SAA-certified, NET-approved, VEU-approved, and Solar Victoria approved, with 10,000+ Victorian installations completed from our Altona base. With the STC deeming period already reduced on 1 January 2026, the $10,477 in rebates secured on this Wollert installation is higher than what new applicants can access today.
8.075kW Solar With 27.84kWh Battery Designed For Wollert Homes
Wollert's growing new-build homes are bringing higher electricity demand, while lower feed-in tariffs make exporting excess solar less valuable. The homeowner's goal was to reduce grid reliance by generating solar power during the day and storing it for use after sunset.
Green Electric Solutions designed and installed an 8.075kW solar system with 27.84kWh of FoxESS battery storage, creating a high-capacity solution for daytime generation, evening consumption and future VPP participation.
Tailored Solar Solution: 8.075kW Solar With 27.84kWh Battery
Generally, a new-build home, the property relied on grid electricity, increasing energy costs and limiting the homeowner's ability to use solar power after sunset. But in this case, the homeowner made a smart decision to install an 8kWh solar system with Green Electric Solutions, reducing grid reliance and lowering household energy bills. This combination was designed to maximize solar generation and store excess electricity for peak-hour use.The 8.075kW solar array provides substantial daytime generation, while the 27.84kWh battery allows a significant portion of that energy to be retained for evening and overnight consumption instead of being exported to the grid.

Claim Up To $10,477 In Applicable Solar & Battery Incentives
Governments provide incentives to encourage long-term investments that improve household efficiency and sustainability. In Australia, federal and Victorian programs support the transition to clean energy by offering rebates and incentives for eligible solar and battery installations, helping homeowners reduce upfront costs while investing in lower-cost, cleaner energy for the future.
For this Wollert project, the homeowner qualified for several Victorian and federal solar and battery incentives, significantly reducing the overall upfront investment.

Solar Installation in Wollert - Professionally Installed, Electrically Integrated & Commissioned
The installation involved integrating the new solar PV and battery energy storage system with the property's existing electrical infrastructure. The existing switchboard was modified to accommodate dedicated PV/ESS circuit protection, isolation and switching equipment, with associated cabling terminated and organised within the enclosure.
A wall-mounted solar inverter/energy management unit was installed externally and electrically connected to the switchboard and battery system. The battery storage unit was positioned alongside the inverter, with dedicated connections provided for energy storage and system operation. An external ESS/PV electrical enclosure was also installed to house associated protection and connection equipment. Warning labels and electrical identification were applied, with the system arranged for safe isolation, protection and integration with the household supply.
Store More Solar Energy; Use Less Grid Power After Sunset in Wollert
The large battery capacity is particularly important for increasing solar self-consumption. Instead of exporting excess daytime generation at a relatively low feed-in rate, surplus electricity can be stored and used later for household loads such as cooking, heating and cooling, appliances, and EV charging. The FoxESS system is also VPP-capable, allowing the homeowner to consider participation in an eligible virtual power plant program. VPP participation is subject to the requirements and terms of the selected provider.
