Solar panels, batteries and EV charging for Melbourne homes

Start my project

October brings Melbourne about 2.5 times the sun of June.

The goal isn’t a cheap price.The goal isn’t a brand.

The goal is the best possible return, underwritten by a reliable, durable system and a provider who stands behind it.

Melbourne's year of sun

A line for every five days, January at the top. The dark one is today.

Nightfall

After dark is yours.

A battery keeps the sun you made today for the hours you're home.

Built in layers.

Start with what your home needs tonight. Add a layer when life adds more: an electric car, a pool, another bedroom in use.

Shown: 5 kWh layers, starting from two. The day and night are an illustration, not a forecast for your home.

In Victoria there is now a second way to fill it: three no-cost hours from the grid, 11 am to 2 pm, for homes on the Midday Power Saver. What that changes

10 kWh

We install batteries from Sungrow, Sigenergy, GoodWe, SolarEdge and Fronius.

Battery sizes

Small. Medium. Whole house.

We'd read your bill first.

Sized from your bill: so you only buy the height you'll use
Layer by layer: add storage when life adds more
Fitted to your nights: how much you use after dark decides the size, not how much fits on the wall

Illustration, not to scale.

Monitoring

Every watt, accounted for.

Every system we install comes with live monitoring. See on your phone what your roof is making, what your home is using and how full the battery is, right now.

Live: power moving between roof, home, battery and grid as it happens
The bell curve: a clear day draws one: up with the sun, a peak at midday, gone by dusk. We never tire of it
Above and below the line: what the roof made and where it went; what your home used and where it came from

Easy, fast, quality and well priced.
“Company was great to deal with. Least pushy of all the ones I spoke to, but best price and detailed quotes. Did research before our conversation about our address using maps which impressed me. Everyone was great.”
SolarQuotes review
Could not dream of better service!
“Every interaction with each member of the Primero team was helpful and considerate. From sales to planning to installment, each person knew their stuff and got the job done! Quoting process was transparent and patient, never pushy or unreasonable, and each step was thoroughly explained. Every on-site meeting was punctual and polite. The installation team worked quickly and left nothing behind other then beautifully installed panels! I could not be more impressed and pleased with our choice.”

Primero will listen to you
“Very happy with everything from quoting to after sales service. … Very flexible in their approach and answered all my questions. … On the day of installation the team was punctual and efficient. Power was only off for a short amount of time which was impressive given the amount of switchboard reconfiguration required.”
SolarQuotes review
Fantastic service throughout
“Prompt communication, understood and catered to our needs. Very fast at organising installation and followed through with paper work very efficiently. Still answered our calls and enquiries promptly even after installation and payment. Very happy with Primero Solar.”
SolarQuotes review
Quote and Installation
“Primero was the only one to give a quote which took into account a tree at the front of the house. There is no requirement to trim it. The installation was delayed by the weather. The installation was done well and quickly and how the system works explained in easy to understand way. I could not be happier”

Solar System
“I found Primero helpful from sales right through to installation of the system. Each part of the process was explained and they followed the plan as it was outlined.”
SolarQuotes review
Good solid system, professionally installed.
“The team arrived to instal when they said they would. The instal process was finished in half a day. They cleaned up and explained next steps regarding getting the system approved etc.”
SolarQuotes review
Went well
“The sales team were helpful and persistent during application for govt rebates. Installation team were professional and friendly, did the job in good time and, as far as we know, broke zero tiles. They set up the app for the inverter and showed clearly how to work it. Customer service will arrange for required inspection.”
SolarQuotes review
Professional and Friendly Service
“The initial salesmen was very friendly and informative. He was very accommodating as I had particular requests after being informed about what I needed from previous quotations from other companies. I had to be away for work for the installation day but my wife said they were very friendly, polite and informative. I made a thorough inspection of the roof once I returned and the roof was spotless no damage hiding anywhere, seemed like a very professional job had been done.”
SolarQuotes review
Primero, a great organisation to deal with.
“Primero is a professional organisation and was an absolute joy to deal with. To me the whole solar process dealing with Primero was easy and stress free. … The team did all the work, in providing my energy company all the required certificates to enable me to connect to the grid. The solar app, I must admit becomes a bit addictive, but I'm sure that will settle down over time!”
SolarQuotes review
“The crew at Primero were happy to answer all our question even when we went back with multiple queries. On the day of installation the team were amazing - courteous, professional and as we now know from the inspector they did a wonderful job. Also two of our neighbours who saw the installation team (and are currently looking to install solar) asked for details of the company involved as they could see the efficient and professional way that they went about their job.”
SolarQuotes review
