Homeowner in Pascoe Vale Installs Powerful 20kW Solar System With 44.8kWh Battery
To minimise rising energy bills and ongoing power concerns, a homeowner in Pascoe Vale made the decision to install a 20.24kW solar system with 44.8kWh battery storage. With STC values decreasing annually, delaying installation would have meant thousands of dollars lost in rebates.
Pascoe Vale households typically experience high daytime and evening energy usage, especially with modern homes running air-conditioning, EV chargers, heat pumps, and smart appliances. This homeowner faced the following:
- Increasing quarterly electricity bills
- Heavy reliance on grid power during peak tariff hours
- Growing concern over annual reductions in Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)
- Uncertainty about whether battery storage would still be financially viable in future years

Government Rebates Secured (Before Further STC Reductions)
One of the most critical wins in this project was locking in rebates before STC values dropped further. Because STCs reduce annually, the same system installed later would receive fewer certificates and lower financial support. This upfront reduction dramatically improved return on investment and shortened the payback period.
Why Green Electric Solutions — Certifications That Matter for Pascoe Vale Homeowners
Installer certifications are not just badges — they determine what rebates you can claim, whether your installation passes grid compliance, and whether your manufacturer warranty is honoured. For this Pascoe Vale installation, every relevant approval was in place before work began:
| Certification / Approval | Why It Matters for Your Installation |
|---|---|
| Solar Victoria Approved | Required to claim the Solar Victoria PV rebate and battery incentives. Unapproved installers cannot access these programs. |
| NET Approved Retailer | Required to assign STCs on the homeowner’s behalf — so the rebate is an upfront discount, not a retrospective application. Verify on the NET register. |
| SAA Certified Electricians | Our electricians hold SAA certification — required for compliant battery and inverter wiring under Australian electrical standards. |
| REC Certified Solar Professionals | Independent quality accreditation — verifies installer knowledge, system design standards, and workmanship quality beyond minimum CEC requirements. |
| VEU Approved | Approved under Victoria’s Victorian Energy Upgrades program — required for VEU rebates on heat pumps, HVAC, and electrification upgrades. |
| GoodWe Approved Installer | Authorised to install GoodWe inverters and batteries under full manufacturer warranty terms. |
| Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer | One of a limited number of Victorian installers certified by Tesla to install and commission Powerwall systems under Tesla’s warranty. |
| Sigenergy Certified Installer | Certified to install and commission Sigenergy solar and battery systems with full manufacturer warranty support. |
Most Victorian solar and battery companies hold one or two of these approvals. Green Electric Solutions holds all of them — which means the homeowner has access to the widest range of compliant products and the full stack of available rebates.
