With more Australians continuing to work remotely, your home is no longer just a place to live — it’s also your workplace. That means part of your electricity and energy costs may be tax deductible. If you’re working from home in Melbourne, understanding how to claim your home energy bills correctly can help maximise your […]
Electricity prices across Victoria continue to rise year after year, and many Melbourne homeowners are looking for smarter ways to take control of their energy costs. If you already have solar — or you’re planning to install it — adding a home battery and joining a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) could be one of the […]
When planning a solar and battery installation in Melbourne, one of the most important decisions homeowners face is whether their property should use a single-phase or three-phase system. This choice directly affects system size, export capacity, battery performance, long-term savings, and future energy flexibility. At Climate Green Melbourne, we regularly help homeowners understand how their […]
The way Australians generate and use electricity is changing rapidly. For decades, power flowed in just one direction—from large, centralised power stations to homes and businesses.

Solar power is one of the most reliable and cost-effective energy sources for Melbourne homes. However, like all renewable energy technologies, solar panel performance is influenced by weather conditions. Understanding how different weather patterns affect solar output helps homeowners set realistic expectations and design systems that perform well year-round. At Climate Green, we design solar […]
As more Australian households invest in solar, battery storage has become the key to maximising savings and reducing reliance on the grid.

Australian households are increasingly looking for greater control over their energy usage. With rooftop solar now covering much of the daytime demand, the real challenge begins after sunset — when energy prices peak and grid reliance returns. That’s where a reliable home battery becomes essential. The Fox ESS EQ4800 has emerged as a practical, scalable, […]
What Victorian Homeowners Need to Know Before Saying Yes Solar batteries are fast becoming one of the most valuable upgrades for Victorian homes. With rising electricity prices, grid instability, and generous government incentives, battery storage can significantly reduce power bills and increase energy independence. But as demand grows, so does a concerning trend: solar battery […]
The Solar Victoria Rebate is a Victorian Government initiative designed to help households transition to clean, affordable solar energy. By reducing the upfront cost of installing solar panels, the program makes it easier for Melbourne homeowners to lower electricity bills while reducing their environmental footprint. At Climate Green Melbourne, we help homeowners understand, access, and […]
