Fully installed 6.6kw Solar System for just $1000 upfront (previously $2190) after STC Rebate, Solar Victoria Rebate ($1400), and Solar Victoria Interest-Free Loan ($1400).

Total Customer Cost: $2800 $2400 (including Solarvic rebate)* That's a massive $1190 cheaper than our website price. Mod note: $2800 price appears to be a typing mistake. Thanks to the user who reported it.

6.6kw Solar Package Includes:

  • 15 x 440w Canadian Solar Panels (Top-tier efficiency, built to last)
  • 1 x 5kw GoodWe Inverter (Rock-solid and powerful)
  • 1 x CT meter

Pricing Breakdown:

  • Total Price: $3800 (Before Solarvic rebate & loan)
  • Solarvic rebate: -$1400
  • Out-of-Pocket: $2400
  • Solarvic Interest-Free Loan: -$1400 (Repayable at $29/month over four years)
  • Upfront Cost: Just $1000 (Was $2190 - saving you $1190!)

Important Notes:

  • Needs a compliant switchboard with 4-5 spare circuit breaker slots—snap us a pic to confirm!
  • WiFi is required for the emergency backstop mechanism, which is now mandatory in Victoria.
  • New installs now come with the Emergency Backstop Mechanism, so post-install paperwork with retailers is crawling—especially in AusNet zones.

        I think the $1400 loan brings it down from from $2400 to $1000 upfront, eventually payback the loan so that total out-of-pocket is $2400, not $3800.

      • JohnSy on 24/04/2025 - 18:13

        Upfront cost $1000 + $1400 loan = $2400.

        • Brick50 on 24/04/2025 - 18:15

          Yes you're correct, it sounds like a pretty good price. Would recommend going for a larger system though nowadays. I was initially looking at 6.6, went 10.56 and wish I went 13kw

          • RichardF89 on 24/04/2025 - 18:21

            @Brick50: how much did you pay to add more panels?

            @Brick50: I got me, my missus, my kid and my mum living under the same roof with 6.6kw and it sufficiently supports all of our stuff during the day. You must be using heaps of electricity wanting a 13kw setup

            • Brick50 on 25/04/2025 - 10:23
              +1

              @Ehx: heat pump hot water system 800w, reverse cycle heating and cooling can easily be 2-5000w depending how many are turned on, EV granny charge 2000w, dishwasher 1800w, washing machine 400w, lights/background load 300w

              Generally use about 15-50kWh depending on if I charge the car or heat/cool the house
              Right now im using 3kw but only generating 3.5 out of 10.5kw due to shade/clouds

      • RichardF89 on 24/04/2025 - 18:14

        Could you just post it here? So everyone can see?

        • Brick50 on 24/04/2025 - 18:23
          +7

          I negotiated the price of a different system so don't know exactly if they charge extra fees for Bendigo. Ended up with 10.56kw Trina Vertex S+ Panels and Goodwe 8.5kw inverter with consumption monitor for $3900 - $1400 if you want to claim the loan. I would 100% recommend you get a consumption monitor so you can see how much you are actually using vs exporting/wasting. Otherwise you will only see how much you are generating and not know if you have more overhead to turn on more appliances or dial back your power usage. I assume that is what the CT meter is in this deal however mine is the Goodwe GM1000 Smart Meter

          Good price obviously , did an OK job however installers didn't install panels as per plan so panel strings are different, result is that in winter a panel gets a lot of shade and it affects a string of 10 panels, my plan it would have only affected a smaller string of 4 panels. Woulda been ok if they discussed why but never told me, only worked it out once they left. Inverter installed without any shade facing west despite my suggestion to be 3 meters away south facing in the shade

          About 3 weeks after deposit I believe waiting for install which was good but took a month for inspector to come and check system after install day (system is technically meant to be turned off while waiting for inspection)

          Nowadays I am not even sure if you need to/would bother connecting it to grid since you're only going to get 0.04c export

          • RichardF89 on 24/04/2025 - 18:30

            @Brick50: $3900 for 10.56kw is a very good price. I got a 6.6 kw for $3700 a year and half ago in metro WA

          • whorishmouth on 25/04/2025 - 11:21

            @Brick50: Does that smart meter only work with Goodwe inverters? I'm currently researching ways to monitor solar, whole of house plus 2 additional circuits (AC & pool heat pump), leaning towards Shelly 3EM and EM-50. I have an early non-smart Inverter Sunny Boy 5000 TL-20.

            • Brick50 on 25/04/2025 - 11:51

              @whorishmouth: No idea, it works with the Goodwe sems app so I assume you’d need a Goodwe inverter. I’d like to monitor individual circuits/switches but doesn’t seem there’s a suitable Shelley or other device that’s actually affordable

              • whorishmouth on 25/04/2025 - 13:46

                @Brick50: Ok, thanks for the reply. The above 2 Shelly items I mentioned will do it. I plan to use the 3EM (3 phase) to monitor single phase with solar, whole house plus a circuit. And then you can add the EM-50 to monitor another 2 circuits. I had planned to get the the PRO versions with ethernet because I don't trust that a WIFI signal will get thru my metal box, so looking at around $400 for both…bit exxy… hence my query about Goodwe.

    What is this Emergency Backstop Mechanism component? Is this the energy companies taking control of your electricity?

    • illusion99 on 24/04/2025 - 20:16

      Means they stop you exporting electricity to the grid.

    • AssociatedAndySolar @ Marshall Energy Solutions on 28/04/2025 - 12:19

      The Emergency Backstop Mechanism in Victoria is a system designed to maintain electricity grid stability during rare emergencies when solar exports from rooftop solar systems exceed what the grid can safely handle. It allows distribution networks like AusNet to remotely reduce or temporarily switch off solar exports to prevent blackouts or infrastructure damage. It has been implemented since last October.

      Thank you!

  • petersx on 24/04/2025 - 22:12

    Why 6.6kW of panels when a 5kW inverter will only ever allow 5kW to feed into your home?

    • ohgee on 24/04/2025 - 22:24

      It's standard practise to over provision panels to utilise the available photons to maximise production regardless of inverter capacity. Even a 10kw invertor with 13.3kw panels will struggle to produce maximum output at more than the peak of the day unless panels are positioned perfectly, even still with limited roof space that idea is to position solar panels for maximum exposure throughout the daylight.

      • petersx on 24/04/2025 - 22:36

        My 3kW of panels regularly produces 2.9kW to 3kW during full sunlight here in QLD and my system is nearly 10yr old! The advantage of paying extra and buying Made in Singapore panels and German inverter.

        • ohgee on 24/04/2025 - 22:55

          *"During full sunlight" you say. However 3kw of solar is available during almost the gloomiest of days with 13.3kw, especially with reflections from clouds. If one was to use multiple high draw appliances simultaneously with only 3kw they'd be buying electricity from the grid.

          My response is simple, the more panels and inverter capacity on hand the more electricity can be produced.

        • Brick50 on 25/04/2025 - 10:27
          +1

          Or buy double the size chinese made for the same price and have double the capacity when it's sunny or 1.5x when it's cloudy

    • AssociatedAndySolar @ Marshall Energy Solutions on 28/04/2025 - 12:24

      Solar panels do not generate at full capacity due to factors like angle, shading, or weather. A 6.6 kw array ensures the inverter often runs closer to its 5 kw capacity, boosting your daily energy output. And also, panels degrade slightly (I believe around 1% per annum), the extra kw helps maintain good performance as they age.

    Would be keen on this if it could be done on a 2storey townhouse.
    Had others look at my roof configuration and due to the angle/s of my roof space it just isn't viable. (So I've been told). Hope panels get smaller and high a higher wattage soon for those of us who can't get a "standard" setup installed.

    • AssociatedAndySolar @ Marshall Energy Solutions on 28/04/2025 - 12:26

    post-install paperwork with retailers is crawling—especially in AusNet zones

    Define “crawling”? How many weeks is it taking for each distributor? I’ve heard of some people who had installs last year and still haven’t had the paperwork finalised from the distributor, so keen to get an idea if this is an isolated situation, or if it’s literally a 6month wait.

    • AssociatedAndySolar @ Marshall Energy Solutions on 28/04/2025 - 12:34

      Most Victorian distributors, particularly AusNet, are currently experiencing significant backlogs for solar connection paperwork, like the Solar Generator Connection Form. I have been told AusNet is upgrading its customer portal to streamline processes, hopefully, that should fix the issue. DNSP paperwork with Powercor and United has been smooth so far.

  • cparch on 29/04/2025 - 23:17

    What would additional charges be for rural, Hamilton 3300, approximately?

    Also, are you required to feed into the grid if you get the vic rebates? I'm assuming so?
