In Tarneit (VIC 3029) — a suburb in the City of Wyndham where household energy loads are among the highest in Melbourne’s west — a homeowner recently secured $20,765 in combined government rebates on a 13.3kW FoxESS solar system paired with 41.93kWh of battery storage, installed by Green Electric Solutions. The system is projected to produce 17,128 kWh annually, saving approximately $2,309 per year in electricity costs. GES is SAA-certified, NET-approved, VEU-approved, and Solar Victoria approved — the four accreditations required to access every layer of Victoria’s rebate program — and has completed 10,000+ installations across the state.
| Certification / Approval | Why It Matters for Your Installation |
|---|---|
| NET Approved Retailer | Only NET-approved retailers can access Victoria’s full rebate stack. Without this accreditation, the Solar Victoria PV rebate and interest-free loan are unavailable to you. |
| Solar Victoria Approved | Solar Victoria requires its approved installers to meet strict quality and safety standards before lodging PV rebate or battery loan applications on a homeowner’s behalf. |
| SAA Certified Installers | SAA certification verifies that every installer on site holds the required Australian electrical licences and has been independently audited for workmanship quality and safety compliance. |
| VEU Approved Provider | VEU accreditation allows GES to offer eligible households additional discounts on heat pumps and hot water systems alongside the solar installation. |
| CEC Accredited Designer | Every GES system is designed by a Clean Energy Council accredited professional, ensuring layout, component selection, and inverter sizing meet Australian standards and maximise output. |
