Solar and battery installation in Wellard

Q: How much does solar and battery cost in Wellard?

It depends on the system size, your roof, the battery capacity and whether your switchboard needs work. The federal solar rebate (STCs) and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program both come off the price upfront. Synergy customers may also get up to $1,300 from the WA Residential Battery Scheme. We quote after a site check so the price you see is the price you pay.

Q: Is a battery worth it in Perth?

For many homes, yes. Grid power costs about 32c per kWh. Solar exported before 3pm earns 2c under DEBS, and 10c from 3pm to 9pm. A battery lets you use your own midday solar at night instead. It pays back fastest in homes that use a lot of power after dark. If your evening use is low, a battery takes longer to pay for itself, and we will say so.

Q: Can I add a battery to my existing solar?

Usually, yes. Most systems can take a battery, either through a new hybrid inverter or a battery with its own inverter. Some older inverters cannot work with a battery, and some are near the end of their life anyway. We check yours first and tell you which way makes more sense.

Q: Which battery brand is best?

No single brand suits every home. We install Sigenergy, GoodWe, Tesla, Alpha ESS, Fox ESS, Fronius, SolarEdge, Solax and Sungrow. The right choice depends on how much storage you need, whether you want an EV charger built in, your existing inverter and your budget. We can quote two options side by side.

Q: Does solar still work in a Perth winter?

Yes, but it makes less. Daylight drops to about 10 hours in June and the sun sits lower, so a system can make roughly half what it makes in January. We design around the whole year, not just summer, and show you a monthly estimate on your quote.

Q: Do you do electrical work as well?

Yes. DMG Solar is a licensed electrical contractor (EC17112). We handle switchboard upgrades, safety switches, lighting, power points, fault finding and renovation wiring in Wellard and across Perth. See our electrical services .

DMG Solar designs and installs solar panels and home batteries for Wellard homes. We size each system to how you use power, not to the biggest number that fits on the roof.

Our own licensed electricians do the work, from our base in Southern River.

The short answer

Is solar and battery worth it in Wellard?

For most homes, solar is worth it and a battery is worth a close look. Perth gets strong sun for most of the year, and grid power costs about 32c per kWh. Every unit of solar you use yourself saves that 32c. The same unit exported before 3pm earns 2c under WA's DEBS.

A battery stores your midday solar for the evening, when you would otherwise buy power. Federal and WA rebates now take a large share off the battery price. It pays back fastest in homes that use a lot of power after dark. If your house is empty all day and quiet at night, a battery takes longer to pay for itself, and we will tell you that.

What we do in Wellard

Solar, batteries and everything around them

One team handles the design, the install, the paperwork and the electrical work. You deal with the same people from the site visit to the final check.

Solar panel systems

Systems sized for your roof and your power bills. We design for Perth's long summer days and shorter winter ones, then show you a monthly estimate.

Home batteries

Store midday solar and use it at night, when grid power costs about 32c and exports earn 2c to 10c. We size the battery to your evening use.

Batteries for existing solar

Most systems can take a battery. Some older inverters cannot, so we check yours first and tell you if it needs replacing.

EV chargers

Home chargers that run from your solar during the day. Some battery systems have one built in.

Repairs and expansion

Inverter faults, a system that underperforms, or more panels on an existing system. We work on systems we did not install.

What changes the cost

Rebates, loans and what WA pays for exports

Prices depend on the system size, your roof, the battery and your switchboard, so we quote after a site check. These schemes bring the cost down for Wellard households.

~30% off

Cheaper Home Batteries Program

An upfront discount of around 30%, delivered through small-scale technology certificates (STCs). It covers batteries from 5 kWh to 100 kWh.

Since 1 May 2026 the first 14 kWh earns the full rate, the next 14 kWh earns 60% and the next 22 kWh earns 15%. The rate drops again on 1 January 2027, and your rate is locked in on the day we install.

Up to $1,300

WA Residential Battery Scheme

A rebate of up to $1,300 for Synergy customers. Eligible households under $210,000 income can also take a no-interest loan of up to $10,000 over up to 10 years.

The catch: you must join a Virtual Power Plant, which lets the grid draw on your battery at set times.

10c vs 2c

Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme

Synergy customers on the South West grid are paid 10 c/kWh for exports between 3pm and 9pm and 2 c/kWh at other times (rates from 1 July 2026, excluding GST).

Retail power costs roughly 32 c/kWh. Using your own stored power, and exporting in the evening, is worth more than exporting at midday.

Solar systems also get the federal STC discount (SRES) upfront, which steps down each year to 2030. Rebate and tariff details are correct at October 2026 and change over time. We confirm what applies to you on your quote.

Before you buy

What we tell every customer in Wellard

Solar and batteries suit most Perth homes, but not every system suits every home. These are the points we raise at every site visit.

Winter output is lower

Daylight drops to about 10 hours in June and the sun sits lower. A Perth system can make roughly half as much in winter as in January. We show you the monthly estimate, not just the yearly total.

A battery does not suit every home

A battery earns its keep by covering evening use. If your household uses little power after dark, it takes longer to pay back. In that case we may suggest solar now and a battery-ready inverter for later.

The WA rebate comes with conditions

The WA Residential Battery Scheme requires you to join a virtual power plant (VPP). That lets a retailer draw on part of your battery at peak times. We explain how that works before you sign up.

Bigger is not always better

Extra panels mostly add midday export, which DEBS pays at 2c. Past a point, more panels add little to your savings. We size the system to what your household actually uses.

Electrical work

The wiring behind your solar and battery

A solar or battery install often turns up electrical work. Older Perth homes may still have ceramic fuses, or a switchboard with no space for new circuits. A battery, EV charger or induction cooktop can push an old board past what it was built for.

DMG Solar is a licensed electrical contractor, so you do not need a second trade. We check your switchboard at the site visit. If it needs an upgrade, we put it on the same quote and do it on the same job.

We also take on electrical work in Wellard that has nothing to do with solar: safety switches, lighting, power points and fault finding.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My new solar system was installed last week, and so far, I’m just loving it! DMG Solar were highly professional throughout the entire process. From the initial call with Zara, the quote, the selection process, everything was easy! They were very informative about the choice of panels (21), inverter (10kW) and the batteries (25kW) for my home, and Vladimir was great in providing technical information. The company were excellent at communicating the installation dates and times and sent emails about rebates and claim forms. Carl (lead/electrician) and the team were brilliant on site. He arrived before everyone else, answered all my questions regarding the install, informed me about the system that was going in, what app to download and showed me how it all worked. The team spent the whole day fitting the system and cleaning up afterwards. I even received a follow up text message to let me know that if I had any concerns, to contact him. Thank you DMG Solar!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with my experience with DMG Solar & Electrical!

Recently had a solar system and GoodWe battery installed, and the whole experience has been great.

A big thank you to Carl and his installation team for their professionalism and hard work throughout the installation. Carl was knowledgeable and happy to answer all my questions, especially around how the system works and what to expect.

Special thanks also to Ken for being responsive and helpful with my questions and follow-ups, even after the installation. It’s reassuring to know there’s support available when needed.

Overall, a great experience with a friendly and helpful team. Would happily recommend DMG to anyone considering solar and battery storage!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a GoodWe 10 kW hybrid inverter, 24 kWh battery and 11 extra Trina panels installed by DMG Solar, and I can’t recommend Leon highly enough.

I got several quotes and did a lot of my own number-crunching, and Leon was patient and straight with me the whole way through. When I came back with my actual bills and questions about the REBS-to-DEBS changeover, export limits and VPP requirements, he gave clear, honest answers rather than a sales pitch. He was even happy to talk me through a smaller, cheaper option when that looked like it might suit us better.

What stood out was how well he tailored the system to our household. He took into account our new 12 kW air conditioner, our plan to get an EV in a couple of years and our existing east and west panels, and explained why west-facing panels and a 10 kW inverter made sense for our afternoon and evening usage. The result is a system that suits us now and leaves room to grow.

The pricing was competitive and clearly itemised, and Leon worked hard to get us the best deal, including essential-circuit blackout protection.

The installation team were punctual, cleaned up after themselves , tidy and walked me through the app and settings at handover.

Thanks Leon and the DMG team. If you’re after an installer who will actually listen and design around your needs, I highly recommend Leon Pan and the team at DMG Solar.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nothing was to much trouble for the team, they all had a can do attitude (incuding the sales team) which is a bit rare these days. 100% worth spending the money with DMG. Our place was a bit different, we had companies tell us our property was going to be too difficult and didn't even quote, others wanted to completely re-wire to the three buildings!! DMG said no issue at all, sent a proposal within a couple of days and completed the install inside a week of approval. The install of solar, re-wire existing solar & install new batteries and inverter was all completed in one day.
