Bass Coast isn't just where we work, it's home. From the historic mining town of Wonthaggi to the beautiful beaches of Inverloch, Cape Paterson and Phillip Island, Bass Coast is a diverse region with a mix of family homes, lifestyle properties, holiday accommodation, farms and growing communities. As electricity prices continue to rise, more homeowners and businesses across Bass Coast are choosing solar panels and home battery systems to reduce energy costs, increase energy independence and invest in a more sustainable future.

For business owner and electrician Daniel, Bass Coast has been part of everyday life for more than a decade. He completed his electrical apprenticeship in Wonthaggi, where he gained hands-on experience working on everything from the town's iconic miners' cottages to modern family homes, renovations and commercial buildings. Throughout his apprenticeship and career, Daniel has completed electrical work and solar installations across Wonthaggi, Inverloch, Cape Paterson, Phillip Island, Corinella, Grantville and communities throughout Bass Coast, building genuine local knowledge that only comes from years of working in the area.

Growing up, Daniel also spent much of his childhood helping on his grandparents' sheep and potato farm in nearby Stony Creek, giving him a strong appreciation for rural life and the energy demands of farms and lifestyle properties. Today, that passion continues on his own hobby farm, where solar powers a pump that supplies dam water for livestock and homegrown produce, demonstrating the practical benefits of energy independence every day.

Whether you're building a new home, renovating a miners' cottage, upgrading your family home, improving an investment property, running a holiday rental or managing a lifestyle property, ESB Vic can design a solar and battery system tailored to your property's energy needs.

For homeowners, solar and battery systems can significantly reduce electricity costs while providing greater control over rising energy prices.

For holiday homes and Airbnb accommodation, solar helps reduce ongoing running costs while the property is unoccupied, while battery storage allows you to make better use of the energy your system generates.

For new builds, installing solar and battery storage during construction is one of the most cost-effective ways to future-proof your home and maximise energy efficiency from day one.

For farms and lifestyle properties, solar can help power pumps, sheds, workshops and everyday household electricity, while battery storage provides greater energy independence and reliable backup power when it's needed most.

As a local family-owned business based in Dalyston, we're only minutes from many of the communities we proudly service, including Wonthaggi, Inverloch, Cape Paterson, Cowes, Cape Woolamai, Corinella, Grantville, San Remo, Kilcunda and Phillip Island. That close proximity means we can provide prompt service, genuine local knowledge and ongoing support long after your installation is complete.

At ESB Vic, we believe solar and battery systems are about more than reducing electricity bills—they're about giving families, businesses and farms greater control over their energy future. We're proud to help Bass Coast homeowners become more powerfully self-sufficient, with honest advice, quality workmanship and premium solar and battery solutions built for the way locals live.
