Stony Creek is a close-knit South Gippsland community surrounded by productive farmland, rolling hills and rural lifestyle properties. With a mix of family homes, working farms, acreages and new builds, many local residents have higher electricity demands than the average household. As power prices continue to rise, more Stony Creek homeowners and farmers are investing in solar panels and home battery systems to reduce electricity costs, increase energy independence and future-proof their properties.

For business owner and electrician Daniel, Stony Creek has always felt like home. Growing up, he spent much of his childhood on his grandparents' sheep and potato farm in Stony Creek, helping around the property and developing a genuine appreciation for rural life, hard work and self-sufficiency. Those early experiences gave him a practical understanding of the energy demands that come with running farms, lifestyle properties and rural homes.

Throughout his electrical apprenticeship and career, Daniel has completed electrical work across Stony Creek and South Gippsland, working on family homes, farm sheds, workshops, renovations, new builds and rural properties. Today, as the owner of ESB Vic, he combines more than 10 years of local electrical experience with premium solar and battery solutions designed to suit the way regional properties use electricity.

Whether you own a family home, a working farm, a lifestyle property, an investment property or you're building a new home, we 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 farms and rural properties, solar can help power water pumps, sheds, workshops, refrigeration, electric fencing and other equipment, while a home battery provides greater energy independence and reliable backup power when it's needed most.

For new builds, installing solar and battery storage during construction is one of the most cost-effective ways to maximise energy efficiency and reduce long-term running costs from day one.

For lifestyle properties, solar and battery systems are a practical way to support a more self-sufficient lifestyle while reducing reliance on the electricity grid.

Today, Daniel continues that passion for self-sufficiency on his own hobby farm, where solar powers a pump that supplies dam water for livestock, vegetable gardens and homegrown produce without ongoing electricity or water costs. It's real-life experience that helps him understand how renewable energy can make a meaningful difference for rural families and property owners.

As a local Bass Coast business, Stony Creek will always be part of our story. From Daniel's childhood helping on his grandparents' farm to more than 10 years working throughout South Gippsland as an electrician, ESB Vic understands the homes, farms and people that make this region unique. Whether you're looking to reduce power bills, improve energy independence or build a more self-sufficient property, we're here to provide honest advice, quality workmanship and premium solar and battery solutions built for regional Victoria.
