Solar Panels
We install high-efficiency solar panels from trusted brands like Jinko, REC, and SunPower. Our systems convert sunlight into electricity, reducing energy bills and grid reliance. Each installation includes site assessment, system design, and rebate processing to ensure optimal performance and cost savings for Melbourne homeowners and businesses.
Battery Storage
Our battery solutions store excess solar energy for nighttime or outages. We offer Tesla Powerwall, SolarEdge, and Enphase systems with scalable capacity. This ensures uninterrupted power supply and maximises self-consumption of renewable energy, enhancing energy independence for residential and commercial clients.
EV Charging
We supply and install smart EV chargers compatible with solar systems. Brands include Tesla, Fronius, and MyEnergi Zappi. These chargers prioritise solar energy to reduce charging costs and battery degradation, providing convenient, sustainable mobility solutions for electric vehicle owners in Melbourne.
Heat Pumps
Our iStore heat pumps reduce hot water energy costs by up to two-thirds. They operate efficiently in Australian climates and integrate with solar systems to utilise excess generation. This provides an eco-friendly alternative to traditional electric or gas water heating for homes and businesses.
Inverters
We install premium inverters from Fronius, SolarEdge, and Enphase. These convert solar-generated DC electricity to usable AC power. Options include string inverters for cost-effective solutions and microinverters for optimised panel performance, ensuring reliable grid-tied operation and energy monitoring capabilities.

Questions
What warranties do you provide?
We offer a minimum 5-year whole-of-system warranty and 10-year workmanship coverage for solar installations.
How do I decide the size of my solar system?
System size depends on roof space, energy bills, and future needs. Our experts assess these factors during site surveys.
What solar rebates are available?
Victorian customers can access STCs and Solar Homes Program rebates up to $1,400, with interest-free loans available.
Do solar panels generate electricity at night?
No, but battery storage allows use of stored solar energy after sunset.
What happens during a blackout?
Grid-tied systems shut down for safety but restart automatically once power is restored. Battery backup provides limited off-grid support.
How do solar batteries work?
Batteries store excess solar energy as DC electricity for later use, powering homes at night or during outages.

Great business to deal with and top quality Installation (North East Melbourne)
I have to say that the process of installing solar with Christian from Linked Solar has been a very easy and enjoyable process. We have just completed a knock down rebuild and ensured that the house and roof design would accommodate a future solar system. During the build I had 3 phase power installed for our ducted reverse cycle system but also to maximise the solar install. System Request
From the start my request to all the companies was to install a 10kw or above system with a Fronius inverter and then I was

Christian and Jo provided excellent advice and service all the way through. They responded to all my calls, texts, and emails. Their quote was easy to understand and included all the costs. Installation was smooth and completed within a day. Although the application process can take some time if seeking government rebates, as we were, they did their best to schedule an approximate date and in fact ended up installing the system more than a week earlier than expected. The follow up processes, including the visit by the electrical inspector and submission of follow up paperwork to my electricity

Great team to deal with. Very professional in the installation. Purchased a 7.7 KW system due to split array, two different locations and directions.
Was hoping to get around 6.0 KW due to orientation. Consistently getting mid 5.0 KW plus. Just waiting on Energy provider now to configure Meter for input credits. PS have referred Christian and his team to two other friends.

From start to finish Linked Solar has been fantastic to deal with. They worked with our budget, had excellent communication so that the whole process felt smooth and easy, and happily answered our millions of questions along the way. Installers were punctual and lovely, and the director of the company was here for installation, which we appreciated. Was also reassuring to hear from the independent inspector who came after installation that 'these guys always do good work'. Would highly recommend!
