Technology within the solar industry is rapidly changing and newer solar panels last longer. Upgrading an existing solar system and panels to bolster your solar production is a good idea if you’ve noticed a decline in your energy output.

Your circumstances may have changed. Your family may have grown with more people living in the home or you’ve added additional features and appliances that require more power.
In this instance, you may not need a whole new system. Adding additional panels to your roof may solve the problem.

If you are exporting a high level of excess solar to the main grid during the day, it would be beneficial to capture that energy and store in a battery to use at night, rather than reverting to electricity supply from the main grid.
In this scenario, and depending on the age of your system, it may result in the need to upgrade the entire system as adding a new battery to an older system may not be practical or possible.

The Victorian State Government is providing a rebate of up to $1,400 for solar panel system installation, for homeowners and rental properties plus the option of an interest-free loan to help reduce installation costs.
Further, householders can apply for an interest-free loan, for an amount equivalent to their rebate amount. The loan is required to be repaid over a period of four years, or sooner in one lump sum.
