Balcatta is one of those Perth suburbs where rooftop solar simply makes sense, steady sunshine, a mix of family homes and small businesses, and plenty of roofs that can be designed to carry meaningful daytime loads. The data gathered on behalf of Balcatta (6021) approximates the average of 5.2 hours of peak sun rays per day, which is a good starting point when it comes to estimating a sizeable system without qualms.
To translate that into actual production, a theoretical 5kW solar setup is capable of producing approximately 20.8 kWh every day in Balcatta (with performance varying depending upon the amount of shading, orientation, quality of inverter used, and efficiency of the system). Such production is the reason why so many households seek to use a big share of the daylight hours and then model manners (laundry, dishwashers, hot water, pool pumps) on solar hours and bring about better savings.
Most homeowners get the federal solar incentive via Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which is typically shown as an upfront discount on your quote (your installer/retailer usually applies and processes it on your behalf).
For extra bill credits, Synergy customers can earn export payments under the Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS). From 1 July 2025, DEBS pays 10c/kWh for exports between 3 pm and 9 pm, and 2c/kWh for exports at other times (reviewed annually). The practical takeaway: export credits help, but the biggest value usually comes from using your solar power while it’s being generated.
We keep solar simple and performance-focused, whether you’re starting fresh, upgrading, or fixing a system that’s fallen off.
Custom solar installs (start to finish): We size your system around your usage pattern, daytime demand, evening peaks, and future needs like EV charging, then manage design, checks, approvals, and a clean install built to last.
Roof-smart PV design: Not every roof in Balcatta is a neat “perfect north.” We design for real angles and real shade, split arrays, smart inverter selection, and layout choices that protect output across seasons.
System health checks + troubleshooting: If performance has dipped, we test and pinpoint the cause (panel issues, inverter faults, shading changes, or wiring problems) so you stop guessing and start seeing consistent generation again.
Battery-ready upgrades + batteries: If you want to store solar for night use, we can build battery-ready now or add storage later.
Solar batteries can be eligible for STCs from 1 July 2025, but they must meet program requirements to qualify.

Solar is not only sold through the quality of design and after-care, but also the hardware when you purchase solar.
Instant service, Perth-based: Balcatta is central, thus, inspections, follow-ups, and maintenance do not take weeks.
Built for WA conditions: Perth summers, glare, dust, and heat cycles are real. We focus on proven components, tidy workmanship, and safe cable management so your system stays reliable long-term.
Straight answers about returns: We’ll explain savings in plain language: STCs reduce upfront cost, and DEBS pays time-based export credits, but self-consumption is usually where the biggest wins sit.
Whatever your area, in Balcatta, Osborne Park, Stirling, Hamersley, Gwelup, Westminster, Tuart Hill, or any of the surrounding areas, we will suggest how much of the right size of system will suit, clarify the savings, and write down a clear quote, no neckache, no jargon. Ready to start?
