Solar power is the cheapest electricity a Melbourne home can buy — but only when the system is designed and installed properly. Lion Heart Electrical delivers solar panel installation in Melbourne the way it should be done: designed by the licensed electrician who installs it, built with quality components, and set up to work with the battery you might add tomorrow.
Why Quality Installation Matters
Melbourne’s solar market is crowded with high-volume sales operations that subcontract installations to the lowest bidder. The result shows up a few years later: failing isolators, sagging cables, inverters in the wrong location, and systems that quietly underperform. We take the opposite approach. As a family-owned business, we do fewer jobs and do them properly — because every roof we work on carries our name.
Every Lion Heart solar installation is performed by a fully licensed A-Grade electrician with CEC accreditation for solar and battery storage. We follow the Australian wiring and solar standards precisely, we mount and seal roof penetrations correctly, and we leave your switchboard compliant and clearly labelled. Then we back the work with a Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Designed for Where Energy Is Heading
A solar system installed today should be designed for the home you’ll have in five years. Thinking about a home battery? An electric car? Switching from gas to electric appliances? We design for that future now — typically with hybrid-inverter-based systems from brands like FOX, SOFAR, Solinteg, Deye and GoodWe — so that adding battery storage later is a simple upgrade rather than a costly rebuild.
That’s also why so many of our solar customers come to us: as Melbourne battery installation specialists, we design solar with storage in mind from the first sketch, not as an afterthought.
Straightforward, Honest Process
It starts with a free assessment: your bills, your roof, your switchboard, your plans. We give you a clear, itemised quote and a realistic picture of what the system will generate and save — no inflated promises. Once you’re ready, we handle the installation, grid paperwork and compliance certificates, and walk you through your monitoring app so you can watch your system pay for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does solar panel installation cost in Melbourne?
It depends on system size, panel and inverter choice, and your roof. Rather than advertise a teaser price, we quote each home properly — free and with no obligation — including advice on rebates you may be eligible for.
What size solar system do I need?
We size systems from your actual usage, roof space and plans — like adding a battery or EV charger later. Oversizing sensibly is often worthwhile, but we'll show you the numbers rather than just sell you the biggest system.
Should I install solar and a battery at the same time?
If the budget allows, installing both together is usually the most cost-effective path because the system is designed as a whole. If not, we'll install battery-ready solar so storage can be added later without expensive rework.
Are you accredited solar installers?
Yes — Lion Heart Electrical is CEC accredited for solar and battery storage, and every installation is carried out by a fully licensed A-Grade electrician. You receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety with the completed work.
