System Size
What size solar system may suit your usage and whether a standard household setup is enough.
Enter your electricity bill and a few property details for an instant AES estimate covering recommended system size, rebates, likely price and projected yearly savings. If your bill falls between sizing rows, we use the next higher option.
Using your quote above, compare estimated solar payback over 15 years or see how the same starting amount would have tracked against selected Australian shares and a 5% savings account.
The solar line starts with the estimated system cost as an upfront expense, then adds the projected electricity savings each year.
Think of it as receiving the same amount of money as your estimated solar system cost and choosing what to do with it: spend it on solar, invest it in one of the selected shares, or place it in a 5% savings account. Each option therefore starts from the same dollar amount.
The calculator is a starting estimate. AES can review the system size, battery choice, rebates and site details before confirming a final quote.
Request a QuoteThe tool gives you a ballpark estimate based on your electricity usage, typical system sizes and common installation assumptions. It is not a final quote, because roofs, switchboards and site conditions love creating drama, but it can help you understand whether solar-only, solar and battery, or a larger system may suit your home.
If you are just starting your research, you may also want to compare your estimate with our guide to what does solar cost, where we break down current starting prices, common extras and rebate assumptions in plain English.

For many homes, the first comparison is between a smaller or standard household system and a larger setup. If your usage is fairly normal, our 6.6kW Solar Cost page is a useful next read. If your home uses more power, has larger daytime loads, or you want more generation capacity, our 13kW Solar Cost page may be more relevant.
An instant solar quote is useful because it gives you a guide before anyone visits your property.
An instant solar quote is useful because it gives you a guide before anyone visits your property. But it cannot see your roof pitch, switchboard, cable run, shading, meter setup, number of roof faces or whether your roof has decided to be annoying for sport.
That is why the final price needs to be confirmed after proper review. Common factors that can affect your quote include:
If your home is a fairly standard install, the estimate may be close to the type of pricing shown on our rates page. If your home has extra requirements, the quote may need to be adjusted before installation.
A solar-only system can suit homes that use plenty of electricity during the day.
If your usage is fairly normal, start with our 6.6kW solar system cost page to compare a common household system size.
A solar and battery system may suit households that want to store more of their own power and use it later, instead of sending excess solar back to the grid for a feed-in tariff that no longer makes anyone feel wealthy.
If you are comparing battery options, our Solar Battery Quotes and Installers Melbourne page explains what to consider before choosing a battery system.
If your home uses more power, has larger daytime loads, or you want more generation capacity, a bigger system may be worth reviewing.
Our 13kW solar system with 10kW inverter price page explains when a larger setup may make sense.
If you want to compare your estimate against current starting prices, read our solar system cost in Melbourne guide.
It explains solar-only pricing, solar and battery pricing, rebate assumptions and common extras.
Advanced Energy Solutions helps Victorian homeowners compare practical solar energy solutions based on their property, usage and goals. The point is not to sell the biggest system possible. The point is to design something that actually makes sense.
After using the tool, use the Request a Quote option above. From there, we can review your estimate, talk through the system options and confirm whether any site-specific checks are needed before a final quote.
No. The instant solar quote gives you a ballpark estimate based on your usage, typical system sizes and common installation assumptions. A final quote still needs to confirm roof conditions, switchboard details, site access, system design and any extras.
After you calculate your estimate, use the Request a Quote button on this page. We can then review the result with you, answer questions and confirm what information is still needed before a final quote.
Use the calculator first, then complete the consultation form if you want AES to review the estimate with you. That gives the conversation a useful starting point instead of beginning with a mystery number.

The final price can change based on roof material, roof pitch, number of roof faces, switchboard space, single phase or three phase power, cable runs, multi-storey access, battery storage and location.
Solar-only can suit homes that use plenty of electricity during the day. Solar and battery can suit households that want to store more of their own power and use it later. The right option depends on your usage, goals and budget.
