EV CHARGER INSTALLATION VICTORIA
It depends on whether your solar and battery are coming from us,
or whether you’re adding a charger to a system you already have.
(New GoodWe/Sigenergy system)
(ECOSYSTEM CHARGER)
Details: Runs on the same platform as your GoodWe inverter and battery, so charging draws from solar surplus automatically. One app shows your generation, storage and charging in a single view.
(ECOSYSTEM CHARGER)
Details: Built into the Sigenergy ecosystem alongside your inverter and battery. Charging, storage and solar generation are managed and monitored from the one app, with no third-party setup required.
(From another installer)
(STANDALONE CHARGER)
Details: A reliable, straightforward charger that isn’t tied to any solar system. If you want dependable, fast home charging without app integrations or solar logic, this is the simpler option.
(SMART RETROFIT CHARGER)
Details: Reads the output of your existing solar system and prioritises charging your car from solar surplus, even though it wasn’t installed by us. A smart option when you want solar-optimised charging without replacing your current setup.
An EV charger on its own just moves the cost from the bowser to the meter.
Paired with solar, it changes where that energy comes from.
Daytime charging draws on surplus solar output instead of sending it back to the grid for a lower feed-in return.
Ecosystem chargers sit alongside your inverter and battery, so generation, storage and charging show up in a single dashboard.
Already have solar from someone else? A smart charger like Zappi can still optimise around it—no need to replace your existing system.
From enquiry to charging, here’s what to expect.

We recently had a 15.84kW solar PV system with 1x Tesla Powerwall 3 and Gateway installed by Local Energy Group, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience—from the very first conversation right through to the final setup.
Sales & Quoting Process:
From the beginning, Brad was extremely knowledgeable and easy to deal with. He really took the time to understand our energy goals and put together a proposal that was well thought out, clearly explained, and great value. Honest advice and thoughtful recommendations. Michael was also a standout, managing all the details and responding promptly and thoroughly to every single question we had. Their combined effort gave us complete confidence in the plan moving forward.
Installation:
The install was seamless. Dave and Lachlan were professional, polite, and punctual. They worked efficiently, kept everything neat and tidy, and treated our home with respect. The attention to detail in their work was obvious, and the finished system looks great. They even took the time to walk us through what they’d done and make sure we were comfortable with how everything worked before leaving.
Customer Service & Support:
The aftercare and customer service has been just as impressive as the install. Michael made the post-install process incredibly smooth by handling the grid connection, helping us get the Tesla app and monitoring tools set up, and making sure everything was running as it should. He explained how to monitor performance and made sure we were fully comfortable with the system before wrapping up.
We’re already seeing the benefits in energy production and battery usage, and it feels great knowing we’ve got a reliable, high quality system installed by a company that truly cares about its customers.
A huge thank you to Brad, Michael, Dave, and Lachlan for making this such a positive experience. If you’re thinking about solar and battery solutions, we couldn’t recommend Local Energy Group more highly. Their professionalism, workmanship, and service are second to none, they definitely have a passion for their work.
Installation of Solar Battery was done very professionally. Michael kept me informed along the way and was punctual, tidy and polite. Brad gave me a good price
Great communication and suggestions during the quoting stage, then also during installation.
Quality components and installation. Brad from Local Energy Group arranged a prompt inspection. No issues for the sign-off. Helpful support when I was setting up the App connection. I will recommend this company
From start to finish, my experience with Local Energy Group was nothing short of exceptional. Brad, the owner, took the time to personally speak with me over the phone and gave honest, expert advice with no sales pressure — just clear guidance on what would suit my home best.
Hayley in the office was an absolute gem — super helpful, responsive, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, even assisting with paperwork and scheduling.
On install day, David, Jared, and Berk showed up right on time and got straight to work. They were professional, respectful, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. The quality of their workmanship was top-notch — neat, tidy, and done with real attention to detail. They also took the time to walk me through the system and made sure I was comfortable using it.
The system is performing better than expected, and I’m already seeing the savings. Choosing a local team that genuinely cares about their customers made all the difference.
Highly recommend Local Energy Group — a fantastic experience with a great team of people. If you’re thinking solar, these are the ones to trust!
