Solar panels on a Newcastle rooftop at golden hour, harbour cranes and the Pacific in the distance

Locally focused · Newcastle & the Hunter

Sun on Novocastrian roofs, done properly.

From the leafy old streets of New Lambton to the new Colorbond roofs out at Fletcher, no two Newcastle roofs are the same. We start by understanding yours, then design a solar and battery system that actually fits it.

No pressure, no dollar figures until we've seen your roof, an honest look first.

Why the Hunter is good solar country

Plenty of sun, plenty of roof, if the design respects the roof it's on.

Newcastle and the Hunter average roughly 4.5 to 5 peak sun hours a day across the year, solidly in the band where a well-sized system pays its way (Bureau of Meteorology solar-exposure data). And outside the unit-heavy harbour core, this is a city of detached homes with real roof space: freestanding houses on their own blocks, the kind solar was made for.

The catch is that a Hunter roof is never generic. A shaded 1960s tile roof in Lambton and a wide unshaded roof on a new Fletcher build ask for completely different designs. That's why we lead with a look, not a sales pitch.

The Newcastle Roof Check

Two minutes, four questions, an honest starting point.

Tell us about your roof and how your house uses power, and we'll give you an indicative system size to talk about, grounded in Newcastle's real roof stock and the Hunter's sun. It's a starting point, not a quote: the real numbers come from a proper look on the day.

What we do

Whole-of-roof solar, batteries and the bits in between.

Rooftop solar (PV)

A new panel system, designed around your roof's shape, aspect and shading, not a one-size box off a truck.

Home battery storage

Store your daytime sun to use at night or on a night shift. We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it for your household yet.

Solar + battery packages

New panels and storage designed together from day one, so the whole system works as one.

EV charger install

A home charger, set up to top the car off your own roof through the day where it can.

Upgrades & inverter swaps

Add panels, lift an ageing system, or replace a failed inverter, grow what you've already got.

Repairs & health checks

Inverter faults, tripping isolators, panels underperforming, a proper diagnosis, not a guess.

The bit that matters

The system is designed on your roof, not on a phone.

The free on-site assessment is where a real installer stands on your roof, checks the aspect, the pitch, the shading and your switchboard, and looks at how your household actually uses power. Only then does a genuine design and quote make sense.

You're connected with CEC-accredited installers, Clean Energy Council accreditation is what lets your install qualify for the federal rebate, so it isn't optional, it's the whole point.

Installed to standard, tested, and set up so you can see it working from day one.

Your patch

Three Newcastles, three very different roofs.

The reason we don't quote sight-unseen is written across the suburbs. Here's how solar reads differently across three of them.

Leafy established street in New Lambton with tile roofs among mature trees

New Lambton & the leafy inner ring →

Established tile roofs, big trees, single-phase homes. Beautiful streets, and shade that needs designing around.

New estate at Fletcher with wide unshaded Colorbond roofs

Fletcher & the new estates →

Wide, unshaded Colorbond and often three-phase power, close to a solar designer's ideal roof.

Established brick-and-tile homes on the Lake Macquarie foreshore ridge near Charlestown, the lake in the distance

Charlestown & the Lake Macquarie foreshore →

Established brick-and-tile on the ridge and by the water, where the lake makes hardware spec and phase supply the real questions.

Straight up

What you can count on.

No numbers we can't stand behind

No made-up price, no "save $X a year", no rebate figure that goes stale next month. What your system costs and saves comes from your actual roof and usage.

Accredited installers

You're matched with CEC-accredited installers, the credential that lets your install qualify for the federal STC rebate in the first place.

A real conversation first

We'd rather tell you a battery isn't worth it yet than sell you one. The assessment is free and there's no obligation on the other side of it.
