Solar in Glen Waverley

Glen Waverley sits at about 2538 people per square kilometre, standard detached housing with roof planes big enough to lay a full array without awkward splits. Glen Waverley is 19 kilometres from town. Middle-ring roofs are typically large enough that the design question is orientation, not area.

Being part of Monash, Glen Waverley follows the standard Victorian position: no permit for a typical rooftop install, with heritage and neighbourhood character overlays the exception. We treat Glen Waverley, Burwood East and Mount Waverley as one working area rather than three separate postcodes.

Glen Waverley spans roughly 16.8 square kilometres of Monash. Postcode 3150, and 42642 people at the 2021 census. Context that genuinely affects the design: In 2011, IKON Glen Waverley was constructed as a 10-storey apartment, office, retail and car parking complex between the railway station and Kingsway. Older stock means smaller, more broken-up roof planes.

We are across Glen Waverley along with Burwood East, Mount Waverley, Mulgrave and Notting Hill, on the same rates and the same certificate. About 19 kilometres from the CBD puts Glen Waverley well within the area we service from Boronia every week.

Glen Waverley railway station sits in the suburb, which is a fair marker of where the oldest housing in Glen Waverley tends to be. Also worth knowing about the area: The Post Office opened on 1 July 1885 as Black Flat in the area to the south of the railway line, was renamed 'Glen Waverley' in 1921, and Glen Waverley South in 1963 on the same day.

On the older parts of the area: In particular Legend Park Estate was opened by Hooker Rex in 1971.
