As energy prices continue to rise across Melbourne and Victoria, more homeowners are investing in large-capacity battery storage to maximise solar self-consumption and reduce reliance on the grid.
Green Electric Solutions recently completed a 51.2kWh battery installation in Hoppers Crossing, Melbourne VIC 3029 (installed another 44kWh GoodWe battery in Hoppers Crossing, Melbourne VIC 3029), delivering long-term energy security and substantial upfront savings through government rebates.
This system was designed to support high household energy usage while preparing the home for future electrification needs.

Why Large Battery Systems Are Growing in Popularity Across Melbourne
Battery storage allows Melbourne homeowners to:
- Store excess solar energy for evening and night-time use
- Reduce reliance on the grid during peak tariff periods
- Increase energy independence
- Prepare for EV chargers and full home electrification
In suburbs like Hoppers Crossing, where many homes already have solar, adding batteries is a logical next step to maximise system value. Choosing the right battery size is critical — it depends on your solar capacity and household usage. We’ve explained this in detail in our guide on what size battery you need for a 13kW solar system in Victoria. Another reason large battery systems are growing in Melbourne, Victoria, is the Victorian Government’s battery rebates and incentives.
