Can You Help Me Obtain Government Rebates for Solar?
Yes, we can help you obtain applicable government rebates for your solar installation. This includes the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which is a federal rebate for a discount on the upfront cost of the installation of a smaller-scale battery system for a home, organisation or business. There is also the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme / STC rebate, which can provide another discount on your rooftop solar. There is a lot of eligibility criteria for these rebates so please contact us to discuss what solar rebates are available for you.
Can You Design a Custom Solar Energy System for My Premises?
Yes, we can design a custom solar energy system to suit the power requirements of your home, business or organisation. This can be a complete system with solar panels, an inverter and even a backup battery if you want. We can also help you upgrade existing systems.
Can Solar Help Me Save on My Electricity Bills?
Yes, over time solar panels can help you save on your electricity bills. There are also feed-in tariffs, which are credits on your electricity bill for excess power generated at your property that is sent back to the grid.
How Long Does It Take to Install Solar Panels?
The time it takes to install solar panels varies for each job. Variables can include and are limited to: the size and condition of your roof, if you live on a significant hill, how remote your property is, the size of your desired solar panel setup and if there is an existing solar energy system at your property. All of these factors can change how long it takes to complete your solar panel installation.
For many homes and businesses around Melbourne, it can take around one to two business days. As part of your solar panel installation from HDC Electrical and Solar, we will discuss with you beforehand the time required for the installation and we’ll keep you informed as the installation progresses.
What Is Your Warranty on Solar Panels?
Our solar panels include separate warranties on both our solar workmanship and the solar panels themselves.
Our solar workmanship warranty is for ten years. This is well above the minimum five year warranty that many solar installers offer. The workmanship warranty covers any rare issues arising from the installation process.
Solar panels that we install include a product warranty that ranges from 12 to 25 years, depending on the brand and model. The panels also include a performance warranty, ranging from 25 to 40 years.
Can You Install Solar on a Tile Roof as Well as a Tin/Metal Roof?
Absolutely. We install solar systems on both tile and metal roofs using Clenergy mounting systems that are specifically engineered for each roof type.
Clenergy offers industry-leading mounting solutions compatible with a wide range of roof profiles, including pitched and flat roofs, concrete and terracotta tiles, corrugated metal, Trimdek, and concealed-fix profiles such as Klip-Lok.
Using the correct mounting system for your roof ensures your solar installation is structurally secure, weatherproof, and designed for long-term performance.
Does Solar Work on Cloudy or Rainy Days?
Yes, solar panels work on cloudy or rainy days but because of the cloud cover, the amount of power they generate could be significantly reduced. Solar panels work best in direct sunlight, thus any shading from clouds, trees or buildings could reduce how much power they generate.
Do Solar Panels Need Cleaning or Maintenance?
In most areas rain naturally keeps panels reasonably clean so manual cleaning is rarely needed. Some homeowners choose to wash panels once every 2 to 5 years depending on how dirty they get. We also recommend occasionally checking for moss, lichen or algae growth, particularly if your home is surrounded by trees or located in a damp or shaded environment.
A professional inspection by a qualified CEC installer is recommended every 2 years for routine maintenance.
How Do Solar Panels Hold up in Hail or Storms?
Modern solar panels are designed and tested to withstand Australia’s harsh weather conditions, including hail, heavy rain and strong winds.
To ensure your system remains secure, we use premium Clenergy mounting systems. Clenergy’s solar racking is engineered to be tough, secure and durable, and is designed for Australia’s demanding conditions. Their mounting solutions are independently tested to relevant Australian and international standards, helping ensure your solar panels remain safely attached to your roof during severe weather.
Do You Also Install Solar Batteries?
Yes, we also install batteries to complement your solar panels and renewable energy system. We install batteries from leading brands including Tesla, Sigenergy, Sungrow, SolarEdge, BYD and Fronius. They can be added to new and existing renewable energy systems. Visit our Solar Batteries page to find out more.
Can You Remove and Refit Panels If I Need Roof Repairs or Re-Roofing?
Yes. We can assist with the safe removal and reinstallation of your solar system if you need roof repairs, roof restoration or a complete re-roof.
Occasionally due to changes in the roof profile or condition of equipment some or all of the mounting hardware may need to be replaced. This can be easily assessed during a site inspection.
Before reinstalling the system we will inspect the panels, mounting equipment, and electrical components to ensure everything is safe compliant, and ready to be recommissioned.
Do I Need a Battery to Have Solar?
If your property is connected to the power grid, then a battery is not essential for solar panels. Many homes and businesses around Melbourne have solar panels installed without batteries, making use of the energy generated during the day, along with the feed-in tariffs.
While batteries aren’t essential for grid-connected solar, they can be very useful. In the event of a power loss emergency, such as a blackout, your battery could be configured as a backup to produce power for designated circuits throughout your home or business. A battery could also help you save on energy costs over time as the charged battery’s stored energy will be used first, rather than relying on the grid all of the time.
Do You Install Electric Vehicle Chargers?
Yes, we install electric vehicle chargers so you can easily charge your electric vehicle at home or work. Visit our EV Charger Installation page to find out more.
Which Forms of Payment Are Accepted by You?
We accept major credit/debit cards, direct deposit, cash and cheque. If you would like to pay via a different payment method, please contact us to discuss this.
Do You Offer Any Payment Plan Options or Finance?
We do not offer payment plans or financing ourselves but we can connect you with a finance provider to help fund your solar energy system installation.

Yes, along with solar energy systems, we can also help you with your electrical requirements. HDC Electrical and Solar are licensed to perform electrical work throughout Victoria.
