Cut your Newcastle electricity bills with solar

When people search for solar in Newcastle, they want a local team they can trust, not a call centre in another city. We're a family-owned Hunter business, and every install is handled by our own accredited crew. Because we're licensed electricians as well as solar installers, you can get your solar, battery storage and electrical work from the one local team. For the full picture on systems, sizing and rebates, see our main solar page.

Yes, solar works in Newcastle

Greater Newcastle is one of the most solar-friendly regions in the country. Panels capture the sun's energy from daylight rather than direct sun alone, so they keep producing on overcast Hunter days too. North-facing roofs pick up the most, but east and west still perform well. We model your own roof and shading properly before we quote, so the numbers you get are built around your home, not a brochure.

//Why go solar

Lower energy bills and energy independence

Get a free assessment
Lower power bills

Every kilowatt your roof makes is power you don't buy from the grid, so your bills shrink from the first sunny day.

Energy independence

Add a battery and you can store daytime solar to run through the evening peak instead of buying it back at full price.

Suited to the Hunter

Panels capture daylight, not just direct sun, so they keep producing on overcast Newcastle days too.

A smaller carbon footprint

You lean on clean solar energy instead of fossil-fuelled grid power, the deciding factor for a lot of local households.

Rebates cut the upfront cost

The federal STC rebate is applied as a point-of-sale discount, so the price we quote already includes it.

Adds value to your home

A quality system keeps working for you long after it has paid for itself, and can lift your property value.

Lower bills are the whole point, and solar delivers them every day the sun is up. We'll show you the numbers for your own home in a free, no-pressure quote.

//For your home

Solar for Newcastle homes

A residential system turns your roof into a power station that quietly cuts your bills every day. We handle the whole thing: system design, quality CEC-approved panels and inverter, in-house installation and grid connection.

Most Newcastle homes land between a 6.6kW and 10kW system, with larger 13kW-plus setups suited to high-usage households, a pool or an EV. Single-phase homes are generally limited to around 5kW of inverter capacity, so we check your switchboard and connection type up front. We size yours to your actual power bills rather than selling a one-size-fits-all package, so you're not paying for capacity you'll never use, or falling short of what you need.

Residential solar

Whole-home systems sized to your bills, with battery storage an easy next step. Most Newcastle homes suit a 6.6kW to 13kW setup. More on residential solar.

Commercial & business solar

Solar cuts a fixed monthly cost from day one, and the savings scale with a larger system, especially if you use most of your power in daylight hours. More on commercial solar.

One relationship for your whole energy setup

Solar is the heart of what we do, but because we're licensed electricians too, we can look after everything that connects to it: solar power, battery storage, EV charging and your full electrical work, under one roof and one point of contact.

Battery storage is the natural next step for a lot of solar owners: store the excess your panels make during the day and use it at night instead of buying it back at peak rates. We can add a battery to a new or existing system whenever you're ready.

Rebates, feed-in tariffs and payback in Newcastle

The upfront cost of solar is lower than most people expect once the rebate is applied, and the payback comes through savings on every bill after that. The federal STC rebate reduces the price based on system size and location. We apply it as a discount so you don't chase the paperwork. Your retailer then pays a feed-in tariff for the power you export.

We keep the deep rebate detail on our dedicated page so it stays current rather than dating this one.

Solar Newcastle FAQs

Still not sure?

Talk to a licensed local electrician, no obligation, straight answers.

How much does it cost to install solar in Newcastle?

It depends on your system size, roof and power usage, which is why we quote custom rather than list a fixed price. As a rough guide, most Newcastle homes look at a 6.6kW to 13kW system, and rebates bring the upfront cost down. A free assessment gives you an exact figure.

Is a 10kW solar system enough for my home?

For many Newcastle households, yes — but it comes down to how much power you use and when. A larger system suits homes with high daytime usage, a pool or an EV. We size your system to your actual bills during the free assessment rather than guessing.

What solar rebates can I get in NSW?

You can access the federal STC rebate, which lowers your upfront cost, plus feed-in tariffs for the power you export and current NSW battery incentives. We handle the rebate paperwork for you.

Which Newcastle suburbs do you service?

We cover Newcastle CBD, Mayfield, Merewether, Wallsend, Kotara, Lambton, New Lambton, Adamstown and Charlestown, plus Lake Macquarie and the wider Hunter. Ask us if your suburb isn't listed.

Do you use your own installers or subcontract?

Our own in-house team handles every install — we don't subcontract. That's how we keep quality consistent and stand behind our workmanship.

Are solar battery prices coming down in 2026?

Battery prices have trended down over recent years, and current NSW incentives make storage more affordable than before. Whether to add a battery now or later depends on your usage and budget, and we'll give you a straight answer in your quote.
