Farms can install vertical solar panels without reducing crop yields.

Adding rows of upright panels on farmland generates green power in the morning and evening while acting as a windbreak for crops.

Placing panels vertically leaves maximum field space clear for farming, while allowing solar generation during the morning and evening if the panels face east and west. This orientation also avoids shading the plants when the sun is at its highest. “We know that solar PV is becoming cheaper and cheaper, so it makes sense to start thinking about new ways of using solar panels,” says Victoria. In Denmark, it is common for trees, wooden fences and even plastic sheets to act as windbreaks for crops. “We thought, if we are going to do this, why not make these wind shelters produce electricity?” says Victoria. Together with colleagues, she conducted a year-long pilot study involving a 44.4-kilowatt system of double-faced solar panels in a field of winter wheat and grass clover, to assess the effect on crop yield. The panels had a 50-centimetre gap above the ground and rose to 3 metres in height. The team found the vertical panels reduced average wind speeds over the crop field by around 50 per cent compared with a control field with no panels. The panels also helped to maintain humidity in the field, compared with the control field, and there was no reduction on crop yield overall, says Victoria. The panels generated much less electricity than a standard tilted array, but it was produced in mornings and evenings. “It matches better when there is high electricity demand in the system,” says Victoria.

Live Playing Double Exposure First Thoughts:

A: Okay, I do love that you can pick Max’s outfit right away. I chose the rainbow sweater.

B: This sounds over dramatic but it was so intense to see Max’s face again. For a very brief moment I was 13 again watching Max wake up in the storm.

C: Am I insane or all the sounds in this game like…muffled?? I have my audio settings all the way up so it’s not that. Speaking of settings I also took the motion blur off and the graphics look so much now.

More Undercut

D: I’m already finding it super interesting that Max finds comfort in the destruction of old buildings after hell week. That could mean a lot of things but I’ll wait to see if the game tells me before I get analytical.

E: I love Safiya already. PLEASE let her be a love interest.

F: I do love the camera mechanism!!!!

G: Max lost her powers after hell week? That’s also super interesting holy shit. I’d love to know more about that, though my guess is that Max maybe completed her purpose with her power and therefore lost it? I wonder what that would mean for Daniel and Alex….

H: I’m trying to not to think of Chloe to much, but man she would have loved an old abandoned bowling alley.

I: Getting used to older Max is an adjustment. She doesn’t feel out of character per se, but it is weird because I keep expecting her to act like her eighteen year old self and then she doesn’t because she’s older now.

J: Older Max is already coming off as a lot more confident/reckless than younger Max. I like that change a lot!

K: I don’t know how I feel about Max making a one liner every time I examine anything.

L: Ah fuck. Is fate after Safiya or Max this time.

M: Did they really put the “We will :)” flashback right before making us confirm that Max and Chloe broke up. I’m going to fight Decknine.

N: Max is never beating the autism allegations.

O: I know people are upset at the “high school sweetheart” line but in context it seems like Max is trying to deflect the conversation to not talk about what Chloe actually was to her.

P: The texts between Max and Chloe were so uncomfortable to read. I know the storm changed them both, but….i don’t know…it just seems weird that Chloe reacted like that to Max wanting to move in with her permanently. I’m getting the vibe that their relationship was mentally and emotionally over on Chloe’s end way before it was on Max’s end.

Q: Max is ghosting her parents now and that devastates me.

R: Can I have a middle ground option on Amanda? I’m not ready for Max to have a huge crush yet, but I wouldn’t say she’s not Max’s type.

S: Okay, the Chloe/Victoria thing seems like fanfiction. It’s the only thing so far that I’ve gone “ugh” at.

T: The Vortex Club parallel is not lost on me.

U: I’m sorry but Max’s eyes look so bad…she also looks like she had a different model from every other character for some reason??

V: I’m just going for it and saying “A date thing” If Safiya is a romance choice later on I’m going to be so mad. But that’s what other saves are for.

W: Hearing Chloe’s name is a jump-scare at this point lmao.

X: I’m loving Moses. He’s so awkward and seems really sweet. Which makes me scared he’ll be the killer because the LIS franchise does not let us have nice things.

Y: I don’t even know how Max is SUPPOSED to talk about what she’s running from regardless if she sacrificed Chloe or the Bay.

Z: I wonder if they’re going to give Max’s power a celestial explanation and that’s what’s with all the solar system imagery.

First 3D observations of an exoplanet’s atmosphere reveal a unique climate

Astronomers have peered through the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System, mapping its 3D structure for the first time. By combining all four telescope units of the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), they found powerful winds carrying chemical elements like iron and titanium, creating intricate weather patterns across the planet’s atmosphere. The discovery opens the door for detailed studies of the chemical makeup and weather of other alien worlds.

“This planet’s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge our understanding of how weather works — not just on Earth, but on all planets. It feels like something out of science fiction,” says Julia Victoria Seidel, a researcher at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and lead author of the study, published today in Nature.

The planet, WASP-121b (also known as Tylos), is some 900 light-years away in the constellation Puppis. It’s an ultra-hot Jupiter, a gas giant orbiting its host star so closely that a year there lasts only about 30 Earth hours. Moreover, one side of the planet is scorching, as it is always facing the star, while the other side is much cooler.

The team has now probed deep inside Tylos’s atmosphere and revealed distinct winds in separate layers, forming a map of the atmosphere’s 3D structure. It’s the first time astronomers have been able to study the atmosphere of a planet outside our Solar System in such depth and detail.

“What we found was surprising: a jet stream rotates material around the planet’s equator, while a separate flow at lower levels of the atmosphere moves gas from the hot side to the cooler side. This kind of climate has never been seen before on any planet,” says Seidel, who is also a researcher at the Lagrange Laboratory, part of the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, in France. The observed jet stream spans half of the planet, gaining speed and violently churning the atmosphere high up in the sky as it crosses the hot side of Tylos. “Even the strongest hurricanes in the Solar System seem calm in comparison,” she adds.

To uncover the 3D structure of the exoplanet's atmosphere, the team used the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s VLT to combine the light of its four large telescope units into a single signal. This combined mode of the VLT collects four times as much light as an individual telescope unit, revealing fainter details. By observing the planet for one full transit in front of its host star, ESPRESSO was able to detect signatures of multiple chemical elements, probing different layers of the atmosphere as a result.

“The VLT enabled us to probe three different layers of the exoplanet’s atmosphere in one fell swoop,” says study co-author Leonardo A. dos Santos, an assistant astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, United States. The team tracked the movements of iron, sodium and hydrogen, which allowed them to trace winds in the deep, mid and shallow layers of the planet’s atmosphere, respectively. “It’s the kind of observation that is very challenging to do with space telescopes, highlighting the importance of ground-based observations of exoplanets,” he adds.

Interestingly, the observations also revealed the presence of titanium just below the jet stream, as highlighted in a companion study published in Astronomy and Astrophysics. This was another surprise since previous observations of the planet had shown this element to be absent, possibly because it’s hidden deep in the atmosphere.

“It’s truly mind-blowing that we’re able to study details like the chemical makeup and weather patterns of a planet at such a vast distance,” says Bibiana Prinoth, a PhD student at Lund University, Sweden, and ESO, who led the companion study and is a co-author of the Nature paper.

To uncover the atmosphere of smaller, Earth-like planets, though, larger telescopes will be needed. They will include ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), which is currently under construction in Chile’s Atacama Desert, and its ANDES instrument. “The ELT will be a game-changer for studying exoplanet atmospheres,” says Prinoth. “This experience makes me feel like we’re on the verge of uncovering incredible things we can only dream about now.”

Using the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists have been able to prove into its atmosphere, revealing its 3D structure. This is the first time that this has been possible on a planet outside of the Solar System.  The atmosphere of Tylos is divided into three layers, with iron winds at the bottom, followed by a very fast jet stream of sodium, and finally an upper layer of hydrogen winds.

The search for extrasolar planets is currently undergoing a seismic shift. With the deployment of the Kepler Space Telescope and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), scientists discovered thousands of exoplanets, most of which were detected and confirmed using indirect methods. But in more recent years, and with the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the field has been transitioning toward one of characterization. In this process, scientists rely on emission spectra from exoplanet atmospheres to search for the chemical signatures we associate with life (biosignatures). However, there’s some controversy regarding the kinds of signatures scientists should look for. Essentially, astrobiology uses life on Earth as a template when searching for indications of extraterrestrial life, much like how exoplanet hunters use Earth as a standard for measuring “habitability.” But as many scientists have pointed out, life on Earth and its natural environment have evolved considerably over time. In a recent paper, an international team demonstrated how astrobiologists could look for life on TRAPPIST-1e based on what existed on Earth billions of years ago. The team consisted of astronomers and astrobiologists from the Global Systems Institute, and the Departments of Physics and Astronomy, Mathematics and Statistics, and Natural Sciences at the University of Exeter. They were joined by researchers from the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria and the Natural History Museum in London. The paper that describes their findings, “Biosignatures from pre-oxygen photosynthesizing life on TRAPPIST-1e,” will be published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS). The TRAPPIST-1 system has been the focal point of attention ever since astronomers confirmed the presence of three exoplanets in 2016, which grew to seven by the following year. As one of many systems with a low-mass, cooler M-type (red dwarf) parent star, there are unresolved questions about whether any of its planets could be habitable. Much of this concerns the variable and unstable nature of red dwarfs, which are prone to flare activity and may not produce enough of the necessary photons to power photosynthesis. With so many rocky planets found orbiting red dwarf suns, including the nearest exoplanet to our Solar System (Proxima b), many astronomers feel these systems would be the ideal place to look for extraterrestrial life. At the same time, they’ve also emphasized that these planets would need to have thick atmospheres, intrinsic magnetic fields, sufficient heat transfer mechanisms, or all of the above. Determining if exoplanets have these prerequisites for life is something that the JWST and other next-generation telescopes – like the ESO’s proposed Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) – are expected to enable. But even with these and other next-generation instruments, there is still the question of what biosignatures we should look for. As noted, our planet, its atmosphere, and all life as we know it have evolved considerably over the past four billion years. During the Archean Eon (ca. 4 to 2.5 billion years ago), Earth’s atmosphere was predominantly composed of carbon dioxide, methane, and volcanic gases, and little more than anaerobic microorganisms existed. Only within the last 1.62 billion years did the first multi-celled life appear and evolve to its present complexity. Moreover, the number of evolutionary steps (and their potential difficulty) required to get to higher levels of complexity means that many planets may never develop complex life. This is consistent with the Great Filter Hypothesis, which states that while life may be common in the Universe, advanced life may not. As a result, simple microbial biospheres similar to those that existed during the Archean could be the most common. The key, then, is to conduct searches that would isolate biosignatures consistent with primitive life and the conditions that were common to Earth billions of years ago. This artistic conception illustrates large asteroids penetrating Earth’s oxygen-poor atmosphere. Credit: SwRI/Dan Durda/Simone Marchi As Dr. Jake Eager-Nash, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Victoria and the lead author of the study, explained to Universe Today via email: “I think the Earth’s history provides many examples of what inhabited exoplanets may look like, and it’s important to understand biosignatures in the context of Earth’s history as we have no other examples of what life on other planets would look like. During the Archean, when life is believed to have first emerged, there was a period of up to around a billion years before oxygen-producing photosynthesis evolved and became the dominant primary producer, oxygen concentrations were really low. So if inhabited planets follow a similar trajectory to Earth, they could spend a long time in a period like this without biosignatures of oxygen and ozone, so it’s important to understand what Archean-like biosignatures look like.” For their study, the team crafted a model that considered Archean-like conditions and how the presence of early life forms would consume some elements while adding others. This yielded a model in which simple bacteria living in oceans consume molecules like hydrogen (H) or carbon monoxide (CO), creating carbohydrates as an energy source and methane (CH4) as waste. They then considered how gases would be exchanged between the ocean and atmosphere, leading to lower concentrations of H and CO and greater concentrations of CH4. Said Eager-Nash: “Archean-like biosignatures are thought to require the presence of methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor would be required as well as the absence of carbon monoxide. This is because water vapor gives you an indication there is water, while an atmosphere with both methane and carbon monoxide indicates the atmosphere is in disequilibrium, which means that both of these species shouldn’t exist together in the atmosphere as atmospheric chemistry would convert all of the one into the other, unless there is something, like life that maintains this disequilibrium. The absence of carbon monoxide is important as it is thought that life would quickly evolve a way to consume this energy source.” Artist’s impression of Earth in the early Archean with a purplish hydrosphere and coastal regions. Even in this early period, life flourished and was gaining complexity. Credit: Oleg Kuznetsov When the concentration of gases is higher in the atmosphere, the gas will dissolve into the ocean, replenishing the hydrogen and carbon monoxide consumed by the simple life forms. As biologically produced methane levels increase in the ocean, it will be released into the atmosphere, where additional chemistry occurs, and different gases are transported around the planet. From this, the team obtained an overall composition of the atmosphere to predict which biosignatures could be detected. “What we find is that carbon monoxide is likely to be present in the atmosphere of an Archean-like planet orbiting an M-Dwarf,” said Eager-Nash. “This is because the host star drives chemistry that leads to higher concentrations of carbon monoxide compared to a planet orbiting the Sun, even when you have life-consuming this [compound].” For years, scientists have considered how a circumsolar habitable zone (CHZ) could be extended to include Earth-like conditions from previous geological periods. Similarly, astrobiologists have been working to cast a wider net on the types of biosignatures associated with more ancient life forms (such as retinal-photosynthetic organisms). In this latest study, Eager-Nash and his colleagues have established a series of biosignatures (water, carbon monoxide, and methane) that could lead to the discovery of life on Archean-era rocky planets orbiting Sun-like and red dwarf suns.

Energy-Efficient Building Techniques in Tarneit

In reaction to the global movement towards sustainability, the construction industry in Tarneit, an emerging suburb of Victoria, has been integrated. In particular, house builders Tarneit can incorporate sustainable and efficient methods, materials, and technologies in building construction. 

These methods benefit the environment and are also financially sustainable for homeowners as they help cut down costs incurred in the provision of energy. This blog evaluates the various high-quality, energy-efficient building methods defining future housing in Tarneit.

Solar Power Integration

Integrating solar power systems is one of the most significant steps towards energy-efficient building. House builders in Tarneit increasingly embed solar panels and thermal systems in new constructions. Solar panels capture solar energy and directly convert it into electricity. 

Solar thermal structures harness sun energy to warm water, which reduces the use of steam on non-renewable power assets. This cuts carbon emissions and hence supports the environment while lowering utility expenses. 

Additionally, promoting incentives for solar power in Australia attracts new homeowners to embrace this power source.

Advanced Thermal Insulation

Proper insulation, therefore, plays a significant role in energy conservation, whereby temperatures within homes are well regulated, lowering the chances of using heaters or air conditioners frequently. House builders in Tarneit employ advanced insulation techniques, including foam insulation and high-quality batten insulation.

These materials are installed in the walls, roofs and floors as insulation and resist heat flow in cold and hot seasons. Insulation is crucial for making homes more comfortable by significantly reducing noise levels.

High-Efficiency Windows

Another strategy house builders in Tarneit use is installing energy-efficient windows to enhance home energy performance. Multiple-glazed or triple-glazed windows are made up of several glass panes separated by a gas with very low thermal conductivity. 

These windows also play a part in controlling indoor temperatures, preventing the formation of condense and giving better soundproofing. 

The frames employed in making these conservatories include fibreglass or composite frames, which are more energy-efficient and long-lasting.

Water-Saving Fixtures

Water performance in buildings is now considered one of the predominant additives of sustainable construction. In today's Tarneit homes, newer and more innovative houses feature energy and water-saving amenities such as low-flow toilets, showerheads, and faucets. 

Experienced house builders in Tarneit prefer these fixtures to minimise water usage in daily life while maintaining functionality without achieving high levels of water usage. 

By using significantly less water per minute compared to traditional fixtures, they help conserve a critical natural resource and lead to substantial savings on water bills. 

The deliberate incorporation of water-efficient technology in homes demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship and economic efficiency.

Use of Sustainable Materials

The desire for building materials plays a vital function in the environmental effect of a construction undertaking. House builders in Tarneit use recycled building materials that are not obtained directly from the source and have been recycled first. Some sustainable materials used in construction include recycled steel, glass, re-use wood and bamboo. 

Also, paints and adhesives are non-toxic, and sealants are used to reduce the emissions of VOCs, which harm the inhabitants of homes by providing them with good air quality.

Implementation of Smart Home Technology

Smart home technology is crucial today and significantly affects home energy management. Some of the features in houses in Tarneit include intelligent thermostats that control heating and cooling equipment depending on the number of people using the house and the climate. 

For instance, LED lighting consumes less energy than traditional lighting; programmable appliances and water heaters also help save energy. These technologies allow owners to screen their power consumption behaviour in detail and, for this reason, be in a function to make rational selections.

Green Roofs and Living Walls

Some innovative house builders in Tarneit are incorporating green roofs and living walls into new constructions. These characteristics provide good thermal performance, minimise the speed and impact of water on buildings, contribute to air quality, and diversify the avian fauna within cities. 

A green roof is a vegetative layer covered with vegetation and a growing medium or partially or fully developed plant layer on a waterproofing layer. 

Similarly, living walls are part of the building's exterior or interior walls, covered with plants. They enhance a building’s insulation and add aesthetic value to the property.

Optimal Orientation and Layout

This is a fact because the position of a building and its architecture determine how much energy it will consume. Climatically responsive architecture is apparent, where house builders in Melton strategically place numerous windows and doors to maximise natural light and air circulation within the buildings. 

Additionally, the structures are oriented in alignment with the direction of the winds and the sun. This approach minimises using artificial lights and mechanical air conditioners, thus saving power. 

Such thoughtful placement enhances energy savings and ensures that living spaces maintain a natural comfort throughout the seasons, creating healthier and more sustainable living environments.

Final Takeaway

Thus, the residents of Melton who choose to live in a house constructed with the following features can have a relatively environmentally friendly way of life meeting the ecological requirements of the contemporary world. Various dedicated house builders in Melton are adopting these building practices, paving the way for a future where all newly constructed homes will be as energy-efficient as possible, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.

The Benefits of Residential Solar Solutions in Australia

With the rising costs of electricity and growing concerns about environmental sustainability, more Australian homeowners are turning to solar energy. Devam Solar Australia, with over seven years of experience in solar panel fitting, maintenance, and supply, is committed to providing high-quality Devam Solar Residential Solutions. If you’re considering switching to solar energy, here are some key benefits to keep in mind.

1. Significant Cost Savings

One of the biggest advantages of installing a solar system is the reduction in electricity bills. By generating your own energy, you can cut down on grid dependency and save thousands of dollars in the long run. Additionally, Australia offers various incentives, rebates, and feed-in tariffs that allow homeowners to earn credits for excess energy sent back to the grid.

2. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

Solar energy is a renewable and clean source of power, reducing your household’s carbon footprint. Unlike fossil fuels, solar panels produce energy without emitting greenhouse gases, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious homeowners. By switching to solar, you contribute to a greener future for Australia.

3. Increase in Property Value

Homes with solar panel installations are in high demand. Many buyers are willing to pay a premium for energy-efficient properties. A solar system not only enhances your home’s value but also makes it more attractive in the competitive real estate market.

4. Energy Independence and Security

With solar power, you can generate your own electricity and reduce reliance on external power sources. This is particularly beneficial in areas with frequent power outages or fluctuating energy prices. Installing a battery storage system allows you to store excess energy for use during nighttime or cloudy days, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply. Devam Solar's Reliable Batteries ensure that you have a consistent and efficient power backup.

5. Low Maintenance Costs

Residential solar systems require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective energy solution. Devam Solar provides professional installation and ongoing maintenance services to ensure the efficiency and longevity of your system. With periodic cleaning and occasional check-ups, solar panels can last for over 25 years. Devam Solar Comprehensive Services cover everything from installation to maintenance, ensuring seamless energy solutions for your home.

6. Government Incentives and Rebates

The Australian government offers financial incentives to encourage homeowners to install solar panels. Programs like the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) provide rebates that significantly reduce the upfront cost of solar system installation. Additionally, state-based incentives further enhance affordability, making Affordable Solar Solutions Victoria a reality for many homeowners.

7. Support for a Sustainable Future

By switching to solar power, you play a crucial role in Australia’s transition towards renewable energy. Investing in solar solutions contributes to reducing the demand for non-renewable energy sources, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment for future generations. NetCC Solar Solutions in Victoria provides advanced solar technologies that enhance energy efficiency and sustainability.

Why a 10kW Solar System is Perfect for Melbourne Homes & Businesses

Why Choose a 10kW Solar System in Melbourne?

Melbourne is one of Australia’s leading cities in adopting solar energy, thanks to favorable government incentives, strong sunlight exposure, and a growing awareness of renewable energy benefits. A 10kW solar system is particularly suited for:

Large residential homes with high energy usage

Households with electric vehicles

Businesses and commercial properties

Homes looking to future-proof against rising energy prices

Properties aiming to increase value and sustainability

With over 4.5 peak sun hours per day in Melbourne, a 10kW system can generate approximately 35–45 kWh of electricity daily, depending on location, shading, panel orientation, and weather conditions.

Key Benefits of a 10kW Solar System in Melbourne

1. Substantial Energy Production

A 10kW system can power a 5–6 person household or a small-to-medium-sized business with ease. It can offset your electricity bills significantly, and in many cases, reduce them to near zero.

2. Excellent Return on Investment

With generous Victorian solar rebates and feed-in tariffs, a 10kW solar system can pay for itself in as little as 4 to 6 years. After that, your system continues to generate free electricity for 20–25 years.

3. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

A 10kW system can offset up to 14 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year, equivalent to planting over 200 trees annually. It’s a powerful way to support the environment.

4. Eligible for Victorian Solar Rebates

The Solar Homes Program in Victoria provides upfront rebates and interest-free loans for eligible homeowners, making a 10kW system more affordable than ever.

10kW Solar System Components — What’s Included?

When you choose Ads Solar, you receive a fully customized 10kW solar package built with quality and efficiency in mind. A standard 10kW system includes:

1. Solar Panels

You’ll need 24 to 28 high-efficiency solar panels rated between 370W and 450W each. At Ads Solar, we only install Tier 1 solar panels from trusted global brands to ensure maximum energy output.

2. Solar Inverter

The inverter is the heart of your solar system. We offer premium string inverters or hybrid inverters (for battery-ready solutions) from brands like Sungrow, Fronius, and GoodWe.

3. Mounting System

Durable and weather-resistant roof mounting kits are used to secure your solar panels safely, whether you have a tile or metal roof.

4. Monitoring System

Real-time monitoring through a mobile app or web portal allows you to track your energy production, consumption, and savings.

10kW Solar System Cost in Melbourne

The cost of a 10kW solar system in Melbourne typically ranges between $8,500 to $13,000, depending on the brand of components, installation complexity, and whether a battery system is included. At Ads Solar, we offer affordable 10kW solar systems with the best price-performance ratio in Melbourne.

Price Factors:

Panel and inverter brand

Single or three-phase power

Battery storage

Roof type and orientation

System configuration (string vs hybrid)

Battery Storage Options with Your 10kW Solar System

Pairing your 10kW solar system with a solar battery allows you to store excess energy and use it at night or during power outages. Popular battery options include:

Tesla Powerwall 2

Sungrow Battery Systems

LG Chem RESU

This setup transforms your property into a fully energy-independent powerhouse, reducing reliance on the grid and increasing your long-term savings.

Residential and Commercial Use Cases

🏠 Residential Installation

A family of 5 in the Melbourne suburbs, using air conditioning, electric water heating, and two EVs, could see monthly electricity bills of over $400. With a 10kW solar system, that family could slash their bills by 70–90% depending on usage habits.

🏢 Commercial Installation

For a small business with offices, computers, lighting, and heating/cooling, a 10kW solar system helps cut operational costs. It demonstrates environmental responsibility, potentially improving customer trust and brand image.

Government Rebates and Incentives

The Solar Victoria Rebate offers up to $1,400 in upfront savings, and an interest-free loan of the same value. Additionally, the federal STC (Small-Scale Technology Certificate) scheme reduces the cost of solar installations further based on your location and system size.

Feed-in tariffs also reward you for sending excess electricity back to the grid. As of 2025, typical feed-in rates in Victoria are between 5c and 10c per kWh.

❓Can I add a battery later?

Absolutely. We can install a hybrid inverter, making your system battery-ready for future upgrades.

❓Is 10kW too much for a residential property?

Not at all. If your energy usage is high due to EVs, air conditioning, or a growing family, a 10kW system provides ample capacity and better long-term savings.

❓What’s the payback period?

On average, the payback period is 4–6 years, depending on your energy consumption and whether you include a battery.

❓What happens on cloudy days?

Your system will still produce energy — just at a lower rate. On such days, you may draw electricity from the grid or your battery if available.
