Go all in with home electrification
With Bendigo’s long summers and crisp winters, solar power is an ideal match for the local climate — and now, it’s even more affordable. From 1 July 2025, Victorian households and businesses can claim upfront discounts of around 30% on battery installations through the federal government’s $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Whether you already have panels or plan to add them, this rebate makes storing solar energy far more accessible.
Solar can power more than just your lights. It can handle heating, cooling, hot water and even your EV charger, letting you rely less on gas and more on your own clean energy. If you’re upgrading an old ducted heater or hot water system, we can help design a solar-friendly setup that works with Bendigo’s conditions. You’ll use more of your own power, save more across every season, and take full advantage of the new battery rebates to future-proof your home.
