SOLAR IN BELLERIVE

What solar can do for your Bellerive home

Rooftop solar panels on a home, with houses and bushland on the hillside behind

Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight on your roof, so your Bellerive home buys less from the grid and your power bills come down. We design each solar system around your roof and the way your household uses electricity, so it suits the appliances you want it to run.

Some people want solar to run a heat pump or a pool pump, and others want to charge an electric vehicle at home. Each of these changes how much you use and when, so every system is sized from your own usage.

Homes with people around during the day use more of their solar directly, while a heavier evening load may call for a solar battery that holds midday generation for later.

Because the power comes from sunlight on your own roof, it is renewable, which lowers your home’s emissions.

SOLAR BATTERIES

Solar batteries in Bellerive

Solar panels often produce more electricity at midday than your home uses at that moment. A solar battery stores the surplus so you can use it later, including in the evening when your home may be using more power.

We can install a battery with a new solar system or add one to solar you already have. For an existing system, we look at what is already on your roof and how your home uses power, then recommend a battery to suit.

Some battery systems can keep selected circuits running as backup power during a blackout. Tell us when this matters to you, because it changes how the system is designed.

SOLAR INSTALLATION

Solar installation for Bellerive homes

Every installation starts with a site visit. We look at your roof and your switchboard and wiring, and talk through how your home uses power, so the quote is built around your property.

Older homes can need more work than newer ones, so any electrical upgrades are included in your quote from the start.

Once you accept, our qualified electricians install the system and we handle the TasNetworks paperwork for you.

Book a site visit and we will talk you through the options for your property.

REBATES AND FEED-IN TARIFFS

Solar rebates and feed-in tariffs in Tasmania

The credit for exported solar is lower than the rate you pay to buy electricity, so the biggest saving comes from using more of your own solar. Two federal discounts can come off your quote.

Small-scale technology certificates (STCs) reduce the price of an eligible solar system, and they get smaller each year until the scheme ends in 2030. The Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes a discount off an eligible battery installed with new or existing solar. It is based on usable capacity and steps down every six months under the Clean Energy Regulator schedule, so the date of your install matters. Both discounts are built into your quote where they apply.

To find out what applies to your Bellerive property, call (03) 6170 1641.

BELLERIVE BUSINESSES

Commercial solar installation in Bellerive

Businesses that trade during the day use much of their power while the sun is up, so solar can cover part of that demand directly and reduce what they buy from the grid.

We design and install commercial solar systems for businesses around Bellerive and across the Eastern Shore, planned around your power bills and your roof space. Our 100 kW commercial system at Salamanca Fresh Bellerive is one local example.

Send us a recent power bill through the quote form and we will prepare a proposal for your premises.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the easier parts of building a new house with solar. If you prefer no fuss and straight to the point service, then my hot tip is to give Rest Energy a buzz. George was beyond helpful, concise, and when a later issue popped up (due to the house and not the solar), he immediately was in contact to resolve it. I rarely leave a review on anyone, unless the product and service went above and beyond.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I can thoroughly recommend George and his team in the highest possible way.
From the initial discussions to establish our needs, to the quoting process, then the installation itself, things could not have been smoother from our side.
This industry does receive bad press because of dodgy operators, this is certainly not the case with Rest Energy Tas, professional in all dealings, on time installation and then always there for ny ongoing queries, not that we have had many as the hand over we received was very extensive.
We can only say talk to Rest Energy with his highest recommendation

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After the great installation of 10kW of solar panels and a Myenergi system 4 years ago by George we decided to take advantage of the recent battery support package and get a FranklinWH system for backup installed.   This has a long warranty on all parts.  Great work by George with all the tricky work done in one day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Service and Fantastic Results!
George and his team at Rest Energy installed our solar system in the middle of last year, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Over summer, we actually had a credit on our power bill, and throughout winter our bill has been minimal. The system has exceeded our expectations in terms of performance and savings.

The service has also been outstanding—George has been quick to respond to any questions we've had, and his support has been consistent from installation through to follow-up. Highly recommend Rest Energy for anyone considering going solar!

FAQ

Bellerive solar panel and battery FAQs

Who installs solar panels in Bellerive, Tasmania?

REST Energy Tasmania installs solar panels and batteries for homes and businesses in Bellerive, Rosny Park, Lindisfarne and across the Eastern Shore. The business is led by George Auchterlonie, who has more than 35 years of experience as an electrician in Tasmania. REST Energy holds Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation S6285129. Its electrical licence is 873331 and its contractor licence is 1369941, and every installation carries a 7-year installation warranty.

Are solar panels worth it in Bellerive?

For many Bellerive homes, yes. Solar cuts the electricity you buy from the grid by generating power on your own roof, and what you save depends on the size of your system and how much of that power your home uses directly. REST Energy looks at your roof and how your household uses power before recommending a system, and suggests a battery where one suits you.

Is there a solar battery rebate in Bellerive?

Yes. Eligible batteries installed with new or existing solar can receive a discount through the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program. The amount is based on usable battery capacity and steps down every six months, so your install date matters. REST Energy builds the saving into your quote where your battery is eligible.

How much do solar panels and a battery cost in Bellerive?

The cost depends on the size of the system, your roof, how your home uses power and any battery you add, and eligible federal discounts then reduce the final price. REST Energy provides an obligation-free quote on a solar and battery package designed around your property and your power use, so you can compare your options before you decide.

Do I need council approval for solar panels in Bellerive?

Usually you won’t need a planning permit. Roof-mounted solar is generally exempt in Tasmania, so most homes can go ahead without a council application. REST Energy looks over your property at the site visit and takes care of the TasNetworks paperwork.

Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels in Bellerive?

Yes. REST Energy can add a battery to solar you already have. We look at your current system and your electricity use before recommending one, and an eligible battery installed with existing solar can still receive the Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount.
