Solar and battery electricians
Solar and storage jobs are won on program and lost on crew. We supply A-Grade electricians for commercial rooftop, ground-mount and battery projects, scaled to the install window.
Short answer
Grid Force Hire supplies A-Grade electricians for solar and battery projects across Victoria, including commercial rooftop, ground-mount arrays, battery energy storage systems and grid-connection support, on a casual hourly basis. Accreditations and heights tickets are verified before deployment, and crew size can flex with the install program.
The work
What hosts ask us for on solar and battery sites
Commercial rooftop
Array install, DC runs and containment, isolators, inverter connections and testing on warehouse, factory and retail roofs.
Ground-mount and utility scale
Crews for array wiring, combiner and inverter stations, and cable pulling across large sites where labour volume is the constraint.
Battery storage (BESS)
Installation support, cabling and terminations, and extra hands through the commissioning window.
Wind farm support
Balance-of-plant and site electrical crew on wind projects across western Victoria and Gippsland — cabling, switchrooms and civil-side works, with travel and accommodation agreed up front.
Grid connection support
Additional licensed crew around metering, protection and connection works, working under the responsible contractor.
Matched to your site
Tickets and clearances this work usually needs
This is what we're typically asked for on this kind of site — it isn't a fixed list. What your site needs is whatever you tell us on the request, and that's what we match to. Held is not the same as current, so we check the dates too.
- Victorian A-Grade Electrician's Licence (Energy Safe Victoria)
- Working at heights (essential for rooftop work)
- Elevated Work Platform (scissor and boom)
- Construction Induction Card (White Card)
- Low Voltage Rescue and CPR
- Solar and battery installer accreditation where the job requires an accredited install
What's different about crewing this sector
Where the job needs accredited installation, tell us — accreditation is recorded against the electrician, and we match on it rather than assuming an A-Grade licence covers it.
Rooftop work makes heights tickets non-negotiable. We check currency, not just possession, before anyone is offered the work.
Solar programs surge hard. Because workers are casual, you can put a large crew on for an install window and stand it down cleanly when the array is done.
