    • Specialized Solar, the Clean Energy Council Accredited Solar Retailer* appointed to sell and install solar systems for the Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy, will contact you by phone within 2 working days to discuss your requirements and provide you with a written quote.
    •  Specialized Solar can also advise you on the application process for the Solar Homes rebate program here…

  • 4. Rebate application
    • If you want to apply for the Victorian Government’s Solar Homes Rebate, please advise Specialized Solar.  They will then upload your quote to the Solar Victoria Portal, which will trigger the online process for your eligibility assessment.
    • Once this is done, you need to upload proof of income and a Rates notice.
    • Once it’s confirmed that you are eligible, your retailer will claim the rebate on your behalf and deduct the rebate amount from the total cost of your system.
  • 5. Site visit

    Specialized Solar will contact you to set up a technical site visit at your property once the rebate has been approved.  This is to assess whether there are any additional costs involved.  If this is the case, you will be sent a revised quote.  Once you have accepted the revised quote, this will be uploaded on the Solar Victoria portal.  If you decide not to accept the revised quote, your deposit will be refunded in full. 

  • 6. Network approval
    • Specialized Solar will apply for permission from the network distributor to connect your solar system to the electricity grid
    • This process is usually instant however in some cases the application may be sent for further assessment which can take up to 4 weeks.
  • 7. Installation
    • You will be contacted within 24 hours of network approval to schedule your installation.
    • Your system is typically installed within 20 days of network approval.
    • You need to be home at the beginning and end of the installation.
    • The installer* will show you how to use the system and the WiFi monitoring.
    • Specialized Solar will provide warranty information and an instruction manual
    • Balance of payment is due on day of installation.
    • The system will then be tested but not switched on until the independent electrical inspection is completed.
  • 8. Electrical inspection
    • The independent electrical inspector will be out within 7 days after installation.
    • When completed, the inspector will switch your solar system on.
  • 9. Feed-in Tariff
    • Within 7 days of the electrical inspection, Specialized Solar will process the paperwork to have your system set up for the solar feed-in tariff and meter reconfiguration. Specialized Solar will copy you in on this paperwork.
    • You will then be notified by your electricity retailer when your system is set up for the feed-in tariff. This generally takes up to 30 days.

    Please note: your retailer can charge between $50–$150 for costs associated with this re-programming and more if you need a new smart meter.

Testimonials

  • Gerard Maloney, Swan HillGerard Maloney, Swan Hill6.6kW solar power system

    “I chose to go through the Mallee Sun Solar Bulk Buy because I don’t know much about solar and I liked the fact that it is backed by Council. I also like that there is a give-back to local community groups in the form of free solar.”

  • Faye and Maxwell Palmer, NyahFaye and Maxwell Palmer, Nyah5.28kW solar power system

    "We were impressed with the installers, how quickly they worked and their attention to detail. Now we are ready for the summer. We’ll be able to use the air conditioning and know that our solar is powering it. That’s a great feeling!”

  • David Burton, NyahDavid Burton, NyahTwo solar power systems: General Store -13.2kW, Home - 6.6kW

    "I cannot speak highly enough of Specialized Solar and also the local installers from Gary Schmidt Electrical who did the installation. It’s also good to know that the community will benefit too, through free solar for community groups through the bulk-buy."
