Smart solar panels and battery storage systems are designed to give you as much energy independence as possible in your Merrimu property (rural area). Designed for performance, Solahart Ballarat’s solar solutions use high-efficiency solar panel technology and new-generation lithium-ion batteries to generate and store power during sunny weather, overcast, and at night with complete autonomy from the grid.
Smart battery systems manage the energy flows automatically, storing excess solar generation at peak sunlight hours and then using that power in the evening when needed, on cloudy days, and whenever the grid goes down. This technology is particularly beneficial for Merrimu properties located in rural communities, where the electrical grid can be unreliable.
Smart monitoring systems deliver real-time information on energy production, consumption, and storage levels through convenient mobile applications. Forecast integration helps achieve optimal performance with predictive weather data, while automated load shedding management capabilities ensure that essential systems remain powered when needed.
We install durable parts with proven performance in rural applications, increased weather protection, and extended life coverage. With adequate site analysis, strategic panel placement, and harmonious integration into existing electrical structures, professional installation provides decades of trouble-free, clean energy performance.
Solar hot water systems are designed specifically for Merrimu’s rural environment to continuously enjoy hot water in large quantities while saving energy costs. We offer an entire repertoire, from rooftop close-coupled systems ideal for tight siting up to split systems with flexible siting options — suitable for more significant rural properties!
Modern solar collectors use thermal energy optimally, even in cloudy weather, so a plentiful hot water supply is possible here year-round. On the other hand, flat plate collectors are of better value in temperate regions, while evacuated tube collectors perform better in colder weather. A storage tank with insulation holds water at an ideal temperature for longer durations.
Because split systems provide installation flexibility, collectors can be positioned to maximise solar gain while tanks can be placed in more sheltered and convenient locations. This configuration is ideal for Merrimu homes with complex rooflines or specific design standards.
A professional will consider all aspects of your site, such as optimal positioning for your solar collectors and frost protection systems, and seamlessly integrate them with existing plumbing systems. With assistance from government rebates, solar hot water becomes an inexpensive investment that usually pays for itself in 3-4 years.
Merrimu solar installations are highly affordable, as numerous government rebates and incentives are available for the residents. With the bonus of the new Victorian Government solar rebates that can subsidise up to $1,400 from the cost, along with extra financial boosts available towards a home battery and a solar hot water upgrade, our upfront costs have become very attractive.
Federal STCs continue to pay cash, and rural feed-in tariffs earn income on surplus energy. We handle all rebate applications and paperwork to maximise your available incentives. When these rich rebates are harnessed, the total system cost declines by 30-40%, meaning renewable energy is within reach for every Merrimu household.
Exclusive Merrimu solar packages start at $4,190 after rebates. They feature premium rural-grade components, professional installation, and a 10-year comprehensive warranty. A free site assessment and personalised quote are also available.
