Project Overview
Solar System Installation in Bankstown
Project Overview:
MPV Solar recently completed a residential solar panel installation in Bankstown, located in Sydney’s south-west. The homeowners wanted to start saving on electricity bills and take advantage of renewable solar energy while also improving their home’s efficiency by removing an outdated pool heating system and protecting the new solar panels with bird mesh.
After assessing the property’s energy needs and roof layout, MPV Solar designed a high-performance system using premium Canadian Solar panels and a SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter, delivering superior power generation, smart monitoring, and a cleaner, more efficient roof space.
System Specifications:
- Panels Installed: 30 × 440 W Canadian Solar panels
- Total System Size: 13 kW
- Inverter: 10 kW SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter
- Additional Work: Pool heating removal and bird mesh installation
Project Objectives:
-
Reduce electricity costs and improve home energy efficiency
-
Remove inefficient pool heating and utilise roof space for solar
-
Prevent bird nesting and debris build-up with protective bird mesh
-
Use premium components for long-term reliability and smart energy monitoring
-
Deliver a safe, clean, and high-performance solar installation by MPV’s in-house, CEC-accredited team
Project Summary:
MPV Solar installed a 13.2 kW solar system featuring 30 Canadian Solar 440 W panels and a 10 kW SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter. The project included the removal of an existing pool heating system to free up roof space and the installation of protective bird mesh to safeguard the new panels from nesting and damage.
The SolarEdge Energy Hub inverter provides advanced monitoring and panel-level optimisation, ensuring each panel performs at maximum efficiency. Installed by MPV Solar’s in-house electricians, this project reflects the company’s expertise in designing smart, practical solar systems that deliver real savings and long-term protection for Sydney homeowners.

How much does it cost to install a 13 kW solar system in Bankstown?
A 13 kW solar system in Bankstown typically costs between $9,000–$13,000, depending on equipment and roof design. MPV Solar provides tailored quotes and can include additional services such as bird mesh installation and old system removal.
Can solar panels power a home and pool heating system?
Yes, a well-designed solar system can offset both household power use and electric pool heating costs. In this project, MPV Solar removed an old solar pool heater to make way for a more efficient energy solution that reduces grid reliance.
Why is bird mesh important for solar panels in Sydney?
Bird mesh prevents pigeons and other birds from nesting under panels, which can cause damage, debris build-up, and reduced airflow. MPV Solar installs high-quality stainless steel bird mesh to protect both the panels and your roof.
How much can I save with solar panels in Bankstown?
A 13 kW solar system can save between $2,500–$4,000 per year in electricity costs, depending on energy use, feed-in tariffs, and system performance.
What makes SolarEdge inverters a good choice for Bankstown homes?
SolarEdge inverters provide panel-level monitoring, increased safety, and the ability to easily integrate battery storage and EV chargers in the future. They also ensure optimal output even in partial shade.
Are there government rebates for solar installation in NSW?
Yes. NSW homeowners can claim the Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) rebate, which can reduce the cost of solar installation by several thousand dollars. MPV Solar manages the entire rebate process for you.
