Solar Panels Melbourne
Melbourne's solar specialists — not a national call centre
Melbourne receives around 2,200 hours of sunshine per year — more than enough to make solar one of the smartest investments a Victorian homeowner can make. But the quality of your system and installer matters enormously.
At UPGRID NRG, we're a Melbourne-based team. We know local council requirements, grid connection processes, and the specific conditions that affect solar performance in Victoria. We don't outsource installations or cut corners on equipment.
Every system we design is tailored to your home — your roof, your usage, your budget — and backed by the strongest warranties in the industry.
Benefits of Solar Energy
Six reasons Melbourne homeowners are going solar
Slash Your Power Bills
Melbourne homeowners typically save $1,500–$3,000 per year after going solar. Most systems pay for themselves within 3–5 years.
Energy Independence
Generate your own clean electricity and reduce reliance on the grid. Pair with a battery to use solar power day and night.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
A typical 6.6kW system offsets around 9 tonnes of CO₂ per year — equivalent to planting over 400 trees annually.
Feed-In Tariff Income
Export surplus solar energy back to the grid and earn a feed-in tariff credit on your electricity bill every quarter.
Government Rebates
Solar Victoria rebate may apply — plus federal STCs worth thousands. We confirm your eligibility and handle every application.
Increase Property Value
Studies show solar adds 3–4% to residential property values in Victoria. It's an investment that pays twice.
Residential Solar Systems

Commercial Solar Systems
Reduce your business energy costs significantly
Commercial electricity rates in Victoria are among the highest in Australia. A well-designed commercial solar system can cut your daytime energy costs by 50–80%, delivering a payback period of just 3–4 years.
We design and install commercial systems from 30kW to 500kW+ for warehouses, offices, retail centres, and industrial facilities across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
