Newcastle NSW
Since its establishment in the 1880s, Mayfield has grown into one of inner Newcastle's largest and most established suburbs. We are proud to be supporting its ongoing transition into a renewable future, helping Mayfield homeowners and businesses reduce their reliance on grid electricity and take control of their energy costs.
Elite Power Group install solar panels, battery storage and EV charging systems across Mayfield, Mayfield
East, Mayfield West, Carrington, Waratah, Islington, Tighes Hill and Maryville. Our SAA-accredited, in-house team has been working
across inner Newcastle long enough to know that no two Mayfield roofs are the same, and we design every system around what the
property actually needs.
Mayfield Solar Installers
We design and install solar PV systems and battery storage for homes and businesses throughout Mayfield. The suburb has a broad range of housing, from Federation-era homes with steep hips and limited flat roof sections through to post-war brick on the southern streets that suit solar just fine. We assess each property honestly before recommending anything, and we will tell you if a roof needs work before a system goes on it.
Battery storage, EV charging and general electrical work are all available alongside solar. If you are renovating and want to sort the lot at once, we are used to that conversation.
We install Tesla Powerwall 3, Sungrow SBR and SBH, Fronius Reserva and GoodWe ESA battery systems. The Federal Battery Rebate is available to eligible Mayfield homeowners.
We service Mayfield, Mayfield East, Mayfield West, Carrington, Waratah, Islington, Tighes Hill, Maryville and surrounding inner Newcastle suburbs.
We want to assist the entire Mayfield area's renewable energy transition, providing quality projects for homes throughout Warabrook to Tighes Hill & Waratah.

Older Homes Are Our Normal: A significant part of what makes Mayfield interesting is also what makes solar installation here more involved than a new estate build. Federation homes, inter-war bungalows, original switchboards that predate the suburb's current electricity demand. We have seen all of it across Mayfield and the surrounding streets, and we design for what is actually there rather than what would make the quoting process easier.
We Tell You the Truth About the Roof: If your roof needs work before solar makes sense, we will say so. We would rather have that conversation upfront than install a system on a surface that creates problems down the track. It is not the answer every homeowner wants to hear, but it is the right one.
One Team, No Subcontractors: Whether the job is solar only, solar with battery, an EV charger off the side of the garage, or a switchboard upgrade that needs to happen first, our own SAA-accredited, licensed electricians handle it. One team, one point of contact, no trades to coordinate between.
We Know This Part of Newcastle: Mayfield sits on the Ausgrid network and the connection process here is familiar to us. We also know which streets have established tree canopy that affects shading modelling, which roof types produce the best returns, and roughly how the Ausgrid approval timeframes run for this part of the city.
Mayfield has a high proportion of separate houses, most with enough roof for a productive solar system, and the suburb's mix of long-term
owner-occupiers, renovators and Maitland Road businesses all have good reasons to look at solar. For homeowners, it is about reducing
quarterly bills and getting more from the electricity they generate. For those mid-renovation, it is often about sorting solar, battery and
electrical work as a single coordinated job. For businesses on the commercial strip, it is a direct operating cost reduction during the
hours they are already running.
Solar and Electrical Together: our licensed electricians handle switchboard upgrades, EV chargers and general electrical work alongside solar, so you are not coordinating separate trades.
Older Property Experience: Federation homes, inter-war bungalows and post-war construction across Mayfield's streets are all part of our regular workload. We design around what is there.
Federal Battery Rebate Available: eligible Mayfield homeowners can significantly reduce the upfront cost of battery storage. Ask us what applies before ruling it out.
Commercial Solar on Maitland Road: hospitality and retail businesses that run through the day align well with solar generation hours. A system sized to your actual consumption pays back without much ongoing attention.
Whilst other business focus on solar, Elite Power Group are Mayfield's leading renewable and electrical installers that can do it all. Here's what we do:
Residential solar PV systems designed for each property rather than a standard template. We work with Mayfield's range of roof types, ages and orientations. Panels from JA Solar, Trina and TW Solar with inverters from Fronius, Sungrow and GoodWe.
Tesla Powerwall 3, Sungrow SBR and SBH, Fronius Reserva and GoodWe ESA. For households that use most of their power in the evenings, a battery is where the real savings sit. The Federal Battery Rebate reduces the upfront cost and our team can walk you through what you qualify for.
Commercial installations for businesses in Mayfield and the surrounding inner Newcastle suburbs. Full SAA accreditation and Ausgrid connection management handled by our own team, no subcontractors.
For rural and semi-rural properties in the broader Newcastle region where grid access is limited or unreliable, we design complete standalone solar and battery systems sized to meet full energy requirements independently.
Home and business EV charger installation across Mayfield and surrounds, including Fronius Wattpilot, Ocular IQ, Tesla Wall Connector and Wallbox Pulsar Plus. Often coordinated with solar and battery as part of the same project.
Heat pump and solar hot water systems work well for Mayfield homes moving away from gas. Our licensed electricians also handle general residential and commercial electrical work across the suburb and surrounding area.
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.
Offering between 3-20kW of solar inverter solutions, Fronius offer a range of inverter solutions for simple maintenance & operation.
Consisting of single and three-phase inverter options, Sungrow offer an all-new generation of solar inverter technology.
Gain premium solar energy generation with Trina solar PV modules, quality panels ready for installation.
TW offer cost-effective, budget-friendly, and reliable solar PV panels for homes and commercial properties.
Totaling 20-40kWh of energy storage capacity, the Sungrow SBH is designed for flexibility and scalability.
Take advantage of Tesla Powerwall 3 and scalability with expansion packs now available for homes and businesses.
Choose from 8.1kWh to 21.7kWh, and expand all the way up to 66.2kWh with variable stacking options for
properties in NSW.
Ranging from 6.3kWh - 15.8kWh, there are energy capacity options for those wanting future-proofed energy storage solutions.
Sungrow offer flexible and scalable energy storage with their SBR series, ranging from 6.4-25.6kWh, depending on your requirements.
Solar Installers Mayfield
One of inner Newcastle's largest established suburbs, with a housing mix that runs from older character homes north of Maitland Road through to post-war properties on the southern streets.
Solar Installers Carrington
A waterfront suburb with strong industrial heritage and an active residential renewal story. Older workers cottages alongside renovated and infill properties, and a community that has been attracting buyers who want character close to the water.
Solar Installers Mayfield East & West
The two suburbs flanking Mayfield proper, each with their own character but close enough in housing type and location to sit alongside Mayfield in our regular inner Newcastle schedule. We service both as standard.
Solar Installers Waratah
Directly south of Mayfield, established and largely settled. Working families, long-term residents, older housing similar in character to Mayfield's southern streets. Waratah station connects the suburb to the rest of the city and the demographic here is practical rather than aspirational.
Solar Installers Islington
Compact and well-located between Mayfield and Hamilton. Older terrace-style housing, smaller blocks, and a community feel that suits people who want to be close to everything without paying for a beachside or CBD address.
Solar Installers Tighes Hill
Two suburbs with distinct personalities sitting close together on the Hunter waterfront. Tighes Hill has some of Newcastle's older residential streetscapes, while Maryville has a slightly quieter feel with established homes and proximity to the water.
Elite Power Group are professional solar installers in Newcastle, servicing residential & commercial
properties with renewable and electrical solutions.
