How a Tarneit Homeowner Secured $20,765 in Solar & Battery Rebates

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.
