Solar for Frankston homes
Frankston is part of our Mornington Peninsula service area, where homes range from permanent homes, holiday houses and rural properties close to the coast. Every roof and switchboard is different, so we design each system on site rather than from a template.
Older homes and switchboards
If your Frankston home has an original switchboard, it may need an upgrade before solar or a battery can be connected. We inspect it on every assessment and, if an upgrade is needed, list it as a separate line on your quote.
Solar panel installationNew builds, townhouses and units
Smaller or split roofs suit high-efficiency panels such as LONGi, and new builds can be wired battery-ready from day one. The Solar Victoria rebate can even be claimed while a home is being built.
Solar & battery packagesEvening peaks
Most households use the most power after school and work – exactly when solar stops producing. A home battery sized around 14kWh to 20kWh usually covers that evening peak, and the federal discount is strongest per kWh at that size.
Home batteriesPlanning and heritage
Most homes don’t need a planning permit for rooftop solar, but properties under a heritage overlay may need approval. We check your property’s planning overlays before quoting.
Planning FAQsRenting out a Frankston property?
The Solar Victoria solar panel rebate is also available for rental properties, which can make solar a practical upgrade for landlords.
Rebates for rental propertiesTrees and shade
Shading matters. We check roof orientation and shade from trees and neighbouring buildings on site, and design panel layouts and inverter choices around it.
Low output on existing solar?Local climate and solar potential in Frankston
Frankston shares Melbourne’s temperate climate: long, bright summer days and short, cloudier winters. Across the year, Melbourne averages roughly 4.0 to 4.2kWh of solar energy per square metre per day – plenty for rooftop solar to pay its way, as long as the system is sized on annual output rather than a sunny week in January.
- Summer peak
- Around 6kWh/m² a day in December and January. A 6.6kW system can produce roughly 30kWh on a clear summer day.
- Winter low
- Around 1.7kWh/m² a day in June. Output drops, but panels keep producing on cloudy days.
- Best roof direction
- North-facing roofs produce the most. East and west roofs produce a little less but spread output across the morning and afternoon.
- Best tilt
- Close to Melbourne’s latitude, about 38°. Most pitched Frankston roofs are close enough without tilt frames.
- Hot days
- Panels lose a little efficiency above 25°C, so we leave airflow under panels on every installation.
Size for the whole year
We model your output month by month, so winter bills are covered as well as possible and summer surplus earns feed-in credits or charges your battery.
System sizesStore summer’s surplus
Long summer days produce more than most homes use. A battery moves that surplus into the evening instead of exporting it cheaply.
Batteries in MelbourneKeep panels clean
Dust, pollen and leaf litter build up over time. A clean before winter helps when every kilowatt counts.
