Solar installation covers roof assessment, system design, panel and inverter supply, installation, grid connection and rebate paperwork. We design around your actual usage and the shade on your roof, not a generic kilowatt figure, then install with our own crew. In Upwey that work is done by our own crew out of Boronia, certified and quoted before we start.

Upwey is part of our home patch — we're through the Dandenong Ranges most weeks, so solar installation here doesn't come with a travel premium or a long wait. System size should follow what the house is about to become, not what last quarter's bill says. If a heat pump, an induction cooktop or an EV is anywhere in the next few years, sizing to today's usage means paying twice for the same scaffold and the same crew day.
Because we're already working across Tecoma, Belgrave South and Boronia, a Upwey job usually slots into a run we're doing anyway. That keeps the call-out honest and means we can come back if something needs a second look.
Orientation, pitch, shading, switchboard condition and your interval data.
Panel layout, inverter choice and honest yield modelling, with rebates itemised.
Our own crew, tidy cable management, compliant isolation and labelling.
We lodge the paperwork, commission the system and show you the monitoring.
Every solar installation booking in Upwey runs off the same checklist, whether it's a 1960s brick veneer or a new build. Here's exactly what's covered in the price we quote you.
A-Grade licensed, REC 33326, fully insured and CEC accredited for solar design and installation. Design and installation are done by CEC-accredited installers and designers, which is what keeps you eligible for the federal rebate.
The part people underestimate with solar installation is the prep. Orientation, pitch, shading, switchboard condition and your interval data. We do that before anyone quotes a number, because a price written without looking at the board is a price that changes halfway through the job.
Shade is the thing that quietly kills yield. A single afternoon shadow across one string can drag a whole array down unless the design accounts for it with optimisers or a smarter panel layout, so we model the winter shade line before we quote rather than after you've signed.
“Quoted before we start, certified when we finish.”
Long private driveways, overhead supply and storm season are the local realities. Consumer mains and service lines come down here often enough that most households have sat through multi-day outages, and generators get wired in badly by people in a hurry. A battery with a properly labelled backup circuit — or at minimum a compliant generator changeover — is worth costing before the next big blow.
Upwey sits on the same run as Tecoma, Belgrave South, Boronia — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
More about solarAnyone can say they're licensed. Here's what that actually means when we're on your job — and the paperwork you'll hold at the end of it.
You see the number, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing. If the scope changes on site, we stop and ask — we don't invoice a surprise.
No labour hire, no subcontractors. The electrician who quotes your job is the one standing in your switchboard, on the same REC (33326).
Every job finishes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, tested circuits, a labelled board and photos of anything hidden behind a wall.
Workmanship guaranteed and manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If something plays up, you ring us — not a call centre in another state.
Nobody can quote solar installation honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Upwey makes sense before you agree to it. Most residential installs are done in a day. Grid connection approval sits with the distributor and usually adds a couple of weeks before the system can be switched on at full export.
Plenty of Upwey homes still run a board that predates RCDs. If yours does, it either needs upgrading first or it needs allowing for in the quote — we tell you which on the day, not after.
Roof pitch, subfloor clearance and how far the run is from the board move the labour more than the fittings do. We measure it before pricing, so the number holds.
Price depends on system size, roof type and whether the switchboard needs work first — you get an itemised quote with federal STCs and any Victorian rebate already deducted, before anything is ordered.
Design and installation are done by CEC-accredited installers and designers, which is what keeps you eligible for the federal rebate. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.

Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!
James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system
The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

If there's more than one thing on the list, tell us when you book. Doing it in the one Upwey visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.
Price depends on system size, roof type and whether the switchboard needs work first — you get an itemised quote with federal STCs and any Victorian rebate already deducted, before anything is ordered. There's no travel premium to Upwey — it's on our regular run from the Boronia workshop.
Most residential installs are done in a day. Grid connection approval sits with the distributor and usually adds a couple of weeks before the system can be switched on at full export.
Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. Design and installation are done by CEC-accredited installers and designers, which is what keeps you eligible for the federal rebate.
Often yes, but the design has to change. Panel-level optimisers or micro-inverters stop one shaded panel dragging the string down, and sometimes a smaller, better-placed array beats a bigger crowded one.
We work right across the Dandenong Ranges — including Tecoma, Belgrave South and Boronia — plus the wider east and south-east, from Boronia to Berwick and Balwyn to Warrandyte.

Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.
I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.
If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
