YouWe organise everything
We order the equipment, get approval from your electricity distributor to connect, help you with the Solar Victoria rebate if you're eligible, and claim the government certificates so their value comes off your price. Then we book an install day that suits you.
LitmecInstall day
A licensed, accredited installer we subcontract fits the panels, inverter and battery to our design. Most homes take one day. Litmec's own electricians do any switchboard work.
Installer, supervised by LitmecSwitch-on and handover
The system is tested, you get your electrical safety certificate, and we lodge the paperwork to set your meter up for solar. You get a handover pack listing every serial number and warranty, and we show you how to use the app.
LitmecFive years of cover
A 5-year whole-of-system warranty from Litmec, on top of the manufacturers' warranties. If anything goes wrong, you call us, not the installer or the manufacturer.

Building a new home?
We design solar and batteries for homes under construction too. There's no bill yet, so we work from your plans and energy report. Tell us about the build and we'll come back with a design that suits it.
How pricing works
Every roof, switchboard and household is different, so we don't sell packages. Your price comes from the site visit, and the quote shows exactly how it's made up.
Rebate amounts, eligibility rules and certificate values are set by the Australian and Victorian governments and change over time, including on 1 January 2027. Your quote uses the rates that apply on your install date. If they change before we install, we'll explain the new price and you can cancel without penalty.
- Full price for every component and the installation
- Government certificates (STCs) for solar and batteries, taken off your price up front
- Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan, if you're eligible
- Switchboard work as its own line, so it's never a surprise on install day
- Nothing extra is charged unless you approve it in writing first
Why buy solar from an electrician
Litmec Electrical has done switchboards, rewires and renovations across Melbourne since 2007. Solar and batteries sit on your switchboard for 15 years or more, and the switchboard is where most solar jobs get held up. We check it properly before you sign.

Solar for country Victoria
Most of regional Victoria gets more sun than Melbourne, and bigger homes, sheds and pumps use more power, so solar and batteries pay back faster out here. We design and quote anywhere in the state, with local solar figures for 391 towns.

Questions
What solar system do I need?
Most Victorian homes paying $300 to $600 a quarter suit about 6.6 kW of solar. Homes with an electric car, a pool or no gas suit 10 kW on single phase, or 13 to 15 kW on three phase. A battery pays when you use more than about 4.5 kWh after dark. The system finder works it out from your bill in six taps.
How accurate is the online estimate?
It's a good starting point, based on your bill, Melbourne's average sunshine and typical usage. Roof direction, shading and your tariff change the real figures, which is what the site visit is for. Your written quote gives the estimate for your home.
Is a battery worth it for my home?
It depends on how much power you use in the evening and what you're paid for exports. The estimate shows solar with and without a battery, and we'll go through both on the visit. If the numbers don't stack up for your home, we'll say so.
Do you take a deposit?
Nothing is payable until you've signed your quote. The deposit and payment terms are written on it.
A deposit is paid when you sign, with the balance due on completion. The amounts are on your quote, and deposits follow the New Energy Tech Consumer Code.
Do you do solar on new homes?
Yes. We design from your plans and energy report, wire for it at frame stage, fit the panels once the roof is on and switch it on once your power is connected. Homes under construction can also get the Solar Victoria rebate if the owner is eligible. Send us your build details.
Which areas do you cover?
All of Victoria. Site visits are free within about 100 km of Newport. Further out, we start with a free assessment from your bills and photos of your roof and switchboard, and an accredited installer checks the site before anything is installed. Find your town.
Is solar worth more in regional Victoria than in Melbourne?
Usually, yes. Most of northern and western Victoria gets more sun than Melbourne: a kilowatt of panels in Mildura, Swan Hill or Shepparton makes noticeably more power a year, and summer air conditioning runs exactly when the panels peak. Country homes also tend to be bigger, with sheds, pumps and electric heating, so more of the solar gets used on site. Homes at the end of long rural lines often have tighter export limits, which makes a battery more valuable. Check your town.
Do you do solar on farms and rural properties?
Yes. We design for houses, sheds, pumps and bores, single wire earth return (SWER) lines and properties that lose power in storms, including batteries with blackout backup. Beyond about 100 km of Newport we start with a free assessment from your bills and roof photos, and an accredited installer checks the site before install. Solar for rural properties.
