Newcastle NSW
Elite Power Group are Newcastle's local solar, battery storage and EV charging installers — servicing homes and businesses across Merewether, Bar Beach, The Junction, Cooks Hill, Hamilton South and Merewether Heights.
Operating from our Thornton headquarters and working regularly throughout the City of Newcastle LGA, we bring
the same SAA-accredited, in-house installation standard to Merewether that we deliver across the broader Hunter region. Whether
you're a homeowner on one of Merewether's established streets, an investor managing a beachside property, or a business looking to
reduce operating costs, our team has the experience to design and deliver the right system.
Merewether Solar Installers
Our SAA-accredited team designs and installs tailored solar PV systems for homes and businesses throughout Merewether and the surrounding inner Newcastle suburbs. From residential rooftop systems on established coastal homes through to commercial arrays, every installation is engineered for maximum output and long-term reliability — including marine-grade components where the beachside environment requires them.
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 Merewether area.
Areas we service include Merewether, Merewether Heights, Bar Beach, The Junction, Cooks Hill, Hamilton South, and surrounding inner Newcastle suburbs.
Merewether's combination of quality homes, great solar exposure and a community that takes long-term value seriously makes it a suburb we love working in. Here are some of the solar and battery projects we've completed across Merewether and the surrounding coastal suburbs.

We Service Merewether Regularly: Merewether and its surrounding suburbs are a consistent part of our Newcastle schedule. We know the area's property types, the local grid infrastructure, and Ausgrid's connection requirements for this part of the City of Newcastle LGA.
In-House Installers, Not Subcontractors: Every Merewether installation is carried out by our own SAA-accredited, directly employed team. Consistent workmanship, direct accountability, a crew that takes ownership of every job.
Experience Across Every Property Type: From large Federation family homes and character properties to waterfront investment homes and modern townhouses - we've installed across Merewether's full property mix and design every system to suit the specific roof and usage, not a standard template.
SAA-Accredited with 10+ Years Experience: Full SAA accreditation across our design and install team, meaning every system qualifies for STCs and Ausgrid connection approvals. Over a decade operating across Hunter and Newcastle.
We Know Coastal Installations: Merewether's beachside location makes solar installation here genuinely different from an inland suburb. Salt air accelerates corrosion on exposed components, and we specify marine-grade hardware and installation methods on every coastal job as a matter of course - not as an optional upgrade.
What sets Merewether apart is the quality of its housing stock and the calibre of its homeowners. With a median house price well above $2
million and 64.8% of homes owner-occupied, Merewether attracts people who invest carefully and expect quality in return. Large,
well-oriented rooftops and above-average household incomes make it one of the strongest solar investment environments in the Newcastle LGA.
Coastal Solar Components as Standard: marine-grade hardware for Merewether's salt air environment on every job
Federal Battery Rebate Available: eligible Merewether homeowners can access a meaningful upfront discount on storage
Investment Property Experience: we install on tenanted properties regularly, working around occupancy where needed
Premium System Options: for high-value homes where aesthetics and long-term performance both matter
