Canberra Solar Guide
WHY CANBERRA IS
PERFECT FOR SOLAR
2,800+ sunshine hours per year
Canberra is one of Australia’s sunniest capitals — excellent solar yield all year round, even in winter months.
Rising ActewAGL electricity rates
ACT electricity costs rose 8%+ in 2024. Solar locks in free energy from the sun and cuts your bill from day one.
100% renewable electricity commitment
The ACT already runs on 100% renewable electricity. Solar makes you a net contributor and cuts your carbon footprint.
Cold winters make batteries essential
Store summer solar surplus for cold Canberra evenings. Heat pumps, heating and hot water all run on stored solar.
Generous ACT government rebates
STCs, ACT Sustainable Household Scheme, and battery incentives significantly reduce your upfront system cost.
ACT Battery Rebate
ACT Sustainable Household Scheme
Interest-free loans and rebates for battery storage alongside solar PV. Available to eligible ACT residents — one of Australia’s most generous battery incentive programs.
$825+
Typical STC rebate value
Cold Winters & Solar Batteries
Canberra winters are cold — heating costs spike. A battery stores surplus solar for cold evenings and powers your heating. Our systems are rated for ACT’s temperature extremes.

WHAT CANBERRA
HOMEOWNERS SAY
4.8 from 87 Google reviews
Meta installed a 13.2kW system on our Belconnen home. The team handled everything including the ActewAGL connection. First bill was a $40 credit — couldn’t be happier.
J
James T.
Belconnen ACT
Really professional from start to finish. They explained everything clearly, the install was done in one day, and they stayed to make sure we understood the monitoring app. Highly recommend.
S
Sarah M.
Gungahlin ACT
Got 3 quotes and Meta were the most transparent about what we’d actually save in winter — they didn’t just show us summer numbers. Honest and professional.
D
David K.
Tuggeranong ACT
Added a Sungrow battery to our existing solar. Meta handled the upgrade perfectly and helped us get the ACT battery rebate. Process was seamless.
L
Linda P.
Woden ACT
Commercial install on our warehouse. 80kW system, done in 3 days. ROI is tracking ahead of the projections they gave us. Great work.

Heritage home in Griffith — we were worried but Meta had done it before and knew exactly what was needed. Looks great and works perfectly.

Most Canberra residential systems achieve payback in 3–5 years. Canberra’s high solar irradiance and rising ActewAGL prices mean strong returns. Adding battery storage extends payback slightly but dramatically increases energy independence.
