Australia has some of the highest electricity prices in the world. More than 1.8 million Aussies have already cut their bill by switching to solar — average payback under two years, then 23+ more years of free electricity from the same panels.
Add a battery and the savings multiply. You store the surplus your panels generate during the day and run on it at night, on the weekend, or during a grid outage. From 1 July 2025 the Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program knocks up to 30% off battery installs via STCs.
We pass on 100% of every Federal STC credit and lodge the paperwork on your behalf. No skimming, no chasing.
When you choose Solar Haven, you get a solar system sized to your real consumption, paired with the right battery capacity, with 100% of the Federal STC credit passed back to you — installed by our own CEC-accredited team.
Experience the difference of generating your own power by day and running on it at night — year-round Victorian energy independence with the grid as backup, not the main bill.
We install Tesla Powerwall, BYD, Sungrow, Sigenergy and Enphase batteries paired with Trina, LONGi, Jinko or REC solar panels. Choice based on your roof, your usage, and Victorian-climate performance — not on what's sitting in our warehouse.
Our team is CEC-accredited and Derrimut-based. We do the design, install, grid connection, and rebate paperwork ourselves — no subcontractors, no surprise costs.
5 kW, 6.6 kW, 10 kW or bigger — we size to your actual consumption, not what a salesperson wants to oversell.

Lower your power bill with rooftop solar, then store the surplus in a battery so your evenings run on sunshine. Most installs paid off in under 2 years.
Mid-reno is the cheapest time to add solar wiring + battery space. We coordinate with your builder so the install drops in seamlessly.
Building in Melbourne's growth corridors? Spec the all-electric home from day one — solar-ready roof, battery cavity, EV-charger sub-board.
Solar + battery homes rent faster and hold value. We install rebate-funded systems that pay back on rent and sale price.
Apartments can solar too. We handle body-corporate approvals and design rooftop solar with shared battery storage where eligible.
Office or shopfront burning daytime grid power? Solar pays itself off fast on a commercial roof, and a battery keeps you running through a blackout.
We size every solar + battery system based on your real consumption, roof orientation and lifestyle — not on what's easiest to upsell. Whether it's a 6.6 kW starter array or 13 kW with a Powerwall, you get the right system for your home, the full Federal rebate stack, and a clean grid-connected install.

"We knew solar made sense but the battery was the bit we kept putting off. Solar Haven walked us through the Federal rebate maths and we ended up doing both together. The install was clean, the paperwork was zero-effort for us, and the quarterly bill went from terrifying to a rounding error."
