Solar panels in Armadale

Is solar worth it in Armadale?

Armadale is on the Synergy/SWIS network in Perth's southern suburbs, averaging about 4.9 peak sun hours a day, which gives strong, dependable conditions for rooftop solar. WattMate doesn't sell hardware or install systems. We help you compare WA installers in the WattMate network and check that a quote actually stacks up.

Solar in Armadale: old core, new estates

Armadale runs two ways at once: an 1850s townsite core of older housing, and one of Perth's largest current growth fronts with dozens of new estates around Piara Waters, Harrisdale and Hilbert. Roof age changes sharply from pocket to pocket, so checking a quote against your actual roof matters more here than in a single-era suburb.

Which rebates apply in Armadale?

Three rebates may apply to a solar and battery install in Armadale: federal STCs for panels, the WA Residential Battery Scheme for eligible Synergy customers, and the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program for batteries. The list below gives the rates and conditions.

• Federal STCs cut the upfront cost of panels — Perth sits in STC Zone 3.
• WA Residential Battery Scheme — a rebate of $130/kWh of battery capacity, up to $1,300 (10kWh cap), for eligible Synergy customers on a Supported Solutions List system.
• Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discounts battery storage on top, through Small-scale Technology Certificates.
