More affordable than ever!
There has never been a better time than right now to invest in a PV solar system. Government incentives and rebates have made the systems more affordable and technological advances have increased their efficiency and performance.
Technology
Solar systems, also called photovoltaic or PV systems, make use of the most advanced, cutting-edge technology in the solar industry today. This allows home or business owners to produce up to 100% of their day time electricity requirements whilst utilising the sun’s free power, generating a renewable energy source that is clean, quiet, green and viable.
We use industry best Solar PV panels and inverters allowing consistent energy production for your system. The Solar PV panels capture the sun’s energy and convert it into Direct Current (DC), and this is then transferred into the inverter which then converts it to the Alternating Current (AC). When there is a surplus in your energy production, this is fed back into the power grid for storage and saved for days when you are not producing enough energy for your needs.
We specialise in 3kw, 5kw, 8.2kw, 11.4kw and 16.2kw systems but can offer higher systems to meet your specific requirements.
There are Four Basic parts to each Solar PV System and these are:
Mounting Systems
Mounting systems are vital to ensuring your panels stay in place in all weather conditions. We use the best quality mounting systems, specific to the style of your roof i.e. tin, tile, tilt mounting systems.
Inverters
Inverters are the part of the system that turns the solar power into electricity to be used in your home or organisation. These inverters convert the DC electricity into the AC electricity which is what we use to power our appliances and lights. The inverters we used are of the highest standard and all have excellent back up and warranty options in Australia.
Solar PV (Photovoltaic) Panels
Panels are placed on the roof or your home in the best position to capture the sun’s energy. Rooftop Solar Mildura only sell Tier 1 panels.
Electricity Meter
- In order to correctly measure how much electricity your system is generating or tracking your surplus, you need a specific electricity metre known as a smart meter. If you already have a smart meter there is no need to upgrade however if you don’t, we can assist you in getting the best meter for your requirements.
- You are still required to be connected to the electricity grid to guarantee that you have electricity in the evenings when no solar power energy is being accumulated.
Save Money
Roof Top Solar is a local Sunraysia company dedicated to saving local households and businesses money on their ever-increasing energy costs.
With an individually designed solar system from Roof Top Solar you can be at ease knowing your system is producing enough power to cover your daytime usage as well as gaining credits for any excess power returned to the electricity grid.
Energy Efficient Lighting
We also offer energy efficient lighting, solar air conditioning/heating and solar hot water solutions for both home and businesses, to further decrease power consumption.
With the price of solar becoming much more affordable over the past few years there has never been a better time to purchase your own system. Speak to one of the team at Roof Top Solar about our highly competitive finance packages which in most cases are less expensive to repay than your current electricity bills.
Finance Option Available
Using local and reputable installers, Roof Top Solar guarantees the very best installation and back up service second to none.
With a proven payback time of no more than 5 years using current electricity costs and a finance repayment less than that of your current power bills the question is “can you really afford not to have solar and energy efficient solutions installed?” Speak to the team at Roof Top Solar about providing you with an obligation free quote today.
We can also put you in touch with a finance company who will work with you to finance the system you require.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is solar and how does solar work?
Solar Energy is energy generated by the conversation of heat or light which is radiated by the sun. Solar products use this free energy and convert it into usable sources of power or heat for you. Solar products are a clean, green, renewable and quiet source of power that lasts for many years.
The sun’s energy is caught by the solar panels which then create DC electricity. This electricity flows through the cabling into the solar power inverter, which converts the DC into AC electricity which can be used by common appliances.
In a grid-connected solar PV system, this AC electricity flows into the smart meter at the property which then sends the power into the property as free electricity. If power is being consumed at that point in time then this free power supplements the supply to the property, reducing the amount of power being purchased. If the solar PV system produces more power than is required, then this excess power flows back out into the grid. Power usage is measured every 30 mins. For more information please contact us.
What are the benefits of solar power?

- Using the powerful Australian sun to generate solar energy is a great way for us all to protect the earth for future generations.
How much solar do I need for my home?
Solar is not an off-the-shelf product. Our friendly Site Inspectors will assess your family’s energy requirements and provide an obligation-free quotation on a customised PV system, designed to meet your specific needs. For more information or your free site inspection please Contact Us.
What is a solar power (Photovoltaic or PV) system?
A Photovoltaic (PV) system consists of an array of solar panels which are designed to convert the sun’s radiant light into electricity. These panels are connected to a solar power inverter which converts the electricity produced by the panels into usable power.
The main panels we use are Jinko 300 watt which are extremely durable and come with a 25-year performance warranty. We use other size panels depending on the individual system requirements.
How does solar work?
The sun’s rays hit the solar panels which create DC electricity. This electricity flows through the cabling into the solar power inverter, which converts the DC into AC electricity which can be used by common appliances. In a grid-connected solar PV system, this AC electricity flows into the bidirectional (net) meter at the property which then sends the power into the property as free electricity. If power is being consumed at that point in time then this free power supplements the supply to the property, reducing the amount of power being purchased. If the solar PV system produces more power than is required, then this excess power flows back out into the grid. Talk to our friendly staff for more information.
What happens with my Solar PV system at night?
In order for photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity, there must be sun. At night time, when the sun makes its daily round across the globe to provide other areas with sunlight, solar panels and inverter also go into sleep mode. During this time your household’s energy consumption will be drawn from the grid. In the morning when the sun hits the PV array, your inverter will wake up again and start producing clean, free energy for your home.
Commercial: Is it worthwhile doing?
With electricity prices continuing to rise, you can rely on efficient commercial solar energy to dramatically reduce operating costs while providing a green energy alternative. It costs considerably less to generate your own solar power than to purchase it from the grid. Phone us today to speak with one of our friendly consultants about the any benefits of solar power for your business.
What happens on cloudy days?
As with night time hours, the efficiency of solar panels decreases on cloudy days since less sunlight can pass through the clouds to reach your solar roofs; however, this does not mean that zero power is being produced – just a lot less. Maximum sunlight is necessary in order to provide optimal performance.
The same applies to areas/properties that have a lot of obstruction from things such as trees and other buildings. The good news is that solar panels work very well in the summer due to more sunlight availability at extended hours.
On cloudy days, your PV array will still produce free energy, although at reduced efficiency as a result of less sunlight passing through to your solar panels via the clouds. You can monitor your PV array’s production by accessing the display panel on your Solar PV Inverter.
The same applies to properties that have obstructions about them from things such as high buildings or trees and this needs to be taken into consideration when installing your panels. Shading may be an issue to the east or west side of your property. If it is, and it blocks daylight sun to your panels at any time of day, then it will result in a loss of solar energy generation. If just one side, east or west, is exposed to shading conditions, then consider placing the panels on the opposing side.
Roof Top Solar will provide you with an annualized daily estimate of solar production which takes into account normal periods of overcast weather and this Clean Energy Council accredited Design Summary will be provided to you upon installation. For further information, please Contact Us.
Where should the solar panels be located?
Roof Top Solar’s panels can be located on your roof or on the ground, depending on your individual requirements. In Australia, the best direction to place the panels is North however, if that isn’t possible, you can still obtain good yields from other orientations.

Frank from Irymple – 6.1kw System
Rooftop Solar Mildura recently installed a 6.1kw solar system to my house and what a difference it has made to my power bills. We chose Rooftop Solar as they are a local company, very competitive pricing and very good quality products.
Throughout the whole process, Tanner and his team were professional, very helpful in explaining the steps and guiding us through the rebate paperwork, even offering and then completing it for us which was a huge relief. Their overall workmanship throughout the installation was exceptional.
Your knowledge in this field helped me in choosing the right system and you also helped to get a system set up for my father which was great.
Paul – Sunnyland Press
Rooftop Solar installed a 70kw solar pv system onto our business workshop and the whole process was effortless on our behalf. The entire team were very professional in designing the best system for giving us maximum results. We have majorly reduced our electricity bills which has paid for the system.
I would recommend anyone, who has a business, to get in touch with Rooftop Solar and talk to the team about how they can help you, like they helped us.
Marcus – Petstock Mildura
Last year we installed a 32.4kw solar system onto our shop/warehouse. Rooftop Solar did a great job, working out the best system for us, the size that would give us the most benefit and then installing it in a timely manner. I couldn’t get over how quickly it all went up and how soon we noticed the savings in our power consumption.
I was very keen to be able to make a difference environmentally and with Mildura’s powerful sun it made sense to switch to Solar.
