EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Posted on Candice UrbanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim came around for an inspection very quickly, and I appreciated how thorough and knowledgeable he was. He took the time to assess our specific solar needs and provided honest, practical recommendations. I highly recommend for anyone considering solar.Posted on Greg HookeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment Jim came to our house in Box Hill to discuss our solar needs/heat pump situation to the final thank you handshake, we were both so impressed by his professional attitude, passion and ability to explain succinctly what we were about to enter into and how we would benefit. We could not be happier with the final outcome and everything was done so well, including clean up, removal and all the official paperwork. Nothing was ever a bother and Jim answered every question with a smile. Overall, great quality workmanship. Thanks Jim and co.Posted on Brodie DoolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim and his amazing offsider Installed a 5kW system on our house back in 2022 which has not missed a beat, we have not had to pay an electricity bill since installing which is amazing for a family of 5. Jim also performed some other electrical and CCTV installations at our house and has always been a professional outfit to deal with. Would highly recommendPosted on Sam TaitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic communication and service from start to finish. Honest, efficient, and excellent work. Everything was easy, smooth and seemingly effortless. Highly recommend!!Posted on Sara ToshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very rarely leave reviews, however - the guys at advanced energy solutions installed solar panels for me and I was incredibly impressed throughout the entire process. The efficiency and professionalism of Jim and Ryan was outstanding. Their trustworthy nature was very reassuring and they kept me very informed during the entire installation. The team were so helpful and knowledgeable when answering all (and a lot of!) my questions. Super fast installation and I'm delighted with the results!Posted on Daniel GaleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan from Advanced Energy Solutions took the time and offered numerous solar solutions to my enquiry. He answered all of my naive questions in layman’s terms and was very easy to talk to. He always called when he said he would and offered a very competitive system.Posted on Sarah STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim gave me really good advice and explained very clearly how much money I will be saving, and did a neat install. Thanks again!Posted on Matthew PowellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very great quality workmanship on these solar panels , great job !! Have exceeded expectationsPosted on Jemma KeevesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Mason Solar made the whole process of installing our solar panels very smooth from understanding the best solar for us, the rebate system and how to optimise the solar to get the most out of it. Clear communication and professional service. Would highly recommend!
The 13kw solar system with 10kw inverter price is usually searched by homeowners who already know a smaller solar system may not cut it. If you are comparing the 10kW solar system cost, you are probably looking at higher electricity usage, a larger home, three phase power, battery storage, an EV, pool equipment or a serious desire to stop donating half your income to electricity retailers.
A 13kW solar system can be a strong option, but it needs to be designed properly. Bigger is not automatically better. Bigger is only better when your roof, usage, inverter setup, network requirements and budget all line up without causing a technical circus.
Advanced Energy Solutions designs solar energy systems Melbourne homeowners can use to reduce electricity bills and get better control over their power. For larger systems, the quote needs to be tailored properly.
For households with high daytime electricity usage, larger bills and more appliances running through the day.
For homes with more people, more loads, more devices and more ways to accidentally feed the power bill monster.
For properties where a larger system may need three phase design, network approval and a suitable inverter setup.
For homes preparing for battery storage, EV charging, pool equipment, heat pumps or future electrification.
A larger solar system can suit homes that use more electricity throughout the day or want to prepare for future energy needs. It may also suit households planning to add a battery, heat pump, EV charger or other electrical upgrades.
If your household usage is more standard, our 6.6kW Solar Cost page may be the better comparison point. Not everyone needs a larger system, despite what some quote-happy sales goblins may suggest.

A look at larger residential solar systems and inverter installations completed by Advanced Energy Solutions, suited to higher usage homes, bigger daytime loads and properties comparing larger solar system sizes.
The 13kW starting price is useful for comparison, but the final price can still change based on your property, system design and installation requirements.
Our solar system cost in Melbourne page explains the standard assumptions and common extras that can affect solar pricing across Victoria.
💡 Final costs are always confirmed after a site inspection with transparent pricing and no surprises.
A 13kW solar system can be paired with a 10kW GoodWe inverter, but the right design depends on the property and the network requirements.
If you want to understand how inverter size, panel capacity and system design work together, the what is an inverter for solar panels page is a useful supporting read. It will help you avoid comparing quotes purely by panel count, which is how people end up sounding confident while misunderstanding the entire system.
A larger system can pair well with a battery when the goal is to store more solar energy for evening use. This can be useful for households with higher night usage, larger appliances, future electrification plans or a general desire to use more of their own power.
Our battery quotes page explains what to consider before adding battery storage to a new solar system.
A battery that is too small may not support your goals, while a battery that is too large may hurt the return on investment.
Battery storage should be designed around your usage, solar generation, inverter setup and budget.
Some larger residential systems overlap with the thinking behind business solar. If your property has high consumption, daytime loads or multiple electrical upgrades planned, it may be useful to read our Commercial Solar page as well.
The same basic idea applies: better energy use, lower grid reliance and a system designed around actual demand.
For larger systems, the quote should be tailored properly instead of built around a generic package.
A 13kW solar system may suit homes with high daytime electricity usage, a large family, pool equipment, heating or cooling loads, three phase power, battery storage plans, an EV or enough suitable roof space for the panels.
Not always. Bigger is only better when your usage, roof, inverter setup, network requirements and budget line up. If your usage is more standard, compare the 6.6kw solar system cost page first.
The starting price assumes a standard installation with the listed rebate, loan and STC deductions. Your final price can change if the property needs extra work, such as switchboard upgrades, multi-storey access, steep roof safety equipment, tile roof work, three phase equipment or a more complex panel layout.
A 13kW solar system can be paired with a 10kW GoodWe inverter, but the right design still depends on the property and network requirements. Our inverter and solar power guide explains how inverter size, panel capacity and system design work together.
Battery storage can make sense if you want to store more solar energy for evening use, reduce grid imports or prepare for future energy needs. Our battery quote page explains what to consider before adding storage.
Some larger residential systems overlap with business solar thinking. If your property has high consumption, daytime loads or larger operating costs, our solar business services page is also worth reading.
