Maitland NSW
Elite Power Group are Chisholm's local solar, battery storage and EV charging installers - servicing homes and businesses across Chisholm, Woodberry, Tarro, Gillieston Heights and the surrounding Maitland growth corridor. Operating from our Thornton headquarters just minutes from Chisholm, we work regularly throughout the suburb and across the City of Maitland LGA.
Whether you're a family in one of Chisholm's modern Waterford Estate homes, a homeowner on one of the newer
streets still coming through, or a business in the area, our SAA-accredited in-house team brings the same installation standard here
that we deliver across the broader Hunter region.
Chisholm Solar Installers
Our SAA-accredited team designs and installs tailored solar PV systems for homes and businesses throughout Chisholm and the surrounding Maitland north-east corridor. From modern family homes in the Waterford Estate through to properties on Chisholm's expanding outer streets, every installation is engineered for maximum output and long-term reliability.
Pair your solar system with a quality battery and take control of when and how you use your energy. We install leading brands including Tesla Powerwall 3, Sungrow SBR/SBH, and Fronius Reserva — with options to suit a range of budgets, property types, and energy goals across the Chisholm area.
Areas we service include Chisholm, Woodberry, Tarro, Gillieston Heights, Tenambit and surrounding parts of the City of Maitland LGA.
As Chisholm's community continues to grow, we're proud to be helping families and homeowners here get the most from their solar and battery investment. Here are some of the projects we've completed in Chisholm and the surrounding area.

We're Right Next Door Our Thornton headquarters puts Chisholm on our doorstep. We're not a company that makes a special trip to the Maitland corridor — Chisholm and its surrounding suburbs are a regular part of our daily schedule, and that proximity means faster site visits, more accurate quoting, and a team that genuinely knows the local area.
We Know Chisholm's Housing Stock Chisholm is almost exclusively made up of modern 4 and 5-bedroom detached homes from the Waterford master-planned estate and its subsequent stages. These properties share consistent characteristics — generous roof areas, clean modern construction, and aspects that suit solar very well. We design every system around the specific roof and usage rather than applying a standard package, but the housing profile here gives us a strong starting point.
Designed for High-Usage Family Homes Chisholm's households are predominantly couples with children in large modern homes — 4 and 5-bedroom properties with above-average electricity consumption from busy family routines, multiple occupants, and the kind of evening peak draw that solar alone can't cover. We size systems to suit that kind of usage profile and design battery storage solutions that make a genuine difference to evening bills.
SAA-Accredited with 10+ Years Experience Our designers and installers hold full SAA accreditation, meaning every system qualifies for STCs and Ausgrid grid connection approvals. With over a decade operating across the Hunter and Maitland regions, our Chisholm installations sit alongside hundreds of others completed across the corridor.
Chisholm's growth over the past decade has been extraordinary by any measure-— population up more than 213% between 2016 and 2021, with
development continuing well beyond that. What began as the Waterford master-planned estate on the edge of Maitland has grown into a
fully-fledged suburb of young families, professionals and dual-income couples who chose Chisholm specifically because it offered modern
housing, quality schools, and M1 access to Newcastle without the Newcastle price tag.
Minutes from Chisholm: our base is around the corner, meaning faster site visits and no travel delays between enquiry and installation
Modern Rooflines Throughout: Chisholm's consistent estate housing stock suits clean, high-performing solar installations
New Build Integration: we work with builders across the active Chisholm development pipeline to integrate solar during construction
Federal Battery Rebate Available: eligible Chisholm homeowners can access a meaningful upfront discount on battery storage
Chisholm's combination of modern housing, strong owner-occupancy, high household incomes and active development makes it one of the most consistent solar markets in the Maitland LGA. Our team services Chisholm and the surrounding Maitland corridor as a regular part of our operations from Thornton.
Tailored residential solar PV systems for Chisholm's modern estate homes - designed for your roof, your usage, and your budget. We install panels from JA Solar, Trina and TW Solar with Fronius, Sungrow and GoodWe inverters, sized to match the above-average consumption of a large family home.
Cover your evening peak consumption with Tesla Powerwall 3, Sungrow SBR/SBH, Fronius Reserva or GoodWe ESA systems. Chisholm homeowners are eligible for the Federal Battery Rebate - ask us what you qualify for before you decide storage is beyond your budget.
For businesses operating in Chisholm and across the broader Maitland LGA, we design and install commercial solar systems at all scales. Full SAA accreditation and Ausgrid grid connection management handled in-house, no subcontractors.
For rural and semi-rural properties on Chisholm's outer edges and across the broader Maitland region where grid access is limited, we design complete standalone solar and battery systems sized to meet full energy requirements independently.
Home and commercial EV charger installations across Chisholm and surrounds, including AC and DC options from Fronius Wattpilot, Ocular IQ, Tesla Wall Connector and Wallbox Pulsar Plus - coordinated with your solar and battery setup where applicable.
Reduce hot water running costs with a heat pump or solar hot water system drawing on your daytime solar generation. Our licensed electricians handle a broad range of residential and commercial electrical work throughout Chisholm and the surrounding Maitland corridor.
We install solar and battery components like Tesla Powerwall 3 and Sungrow batteries, as well as TW and Trina solar modules for completely reliable operation for the long-term. Explore the components we install below.
