Port Stephens NSW
Elite Power Group install solar, battery storage and EV charging systems
for homes and businesses throughout Medowie and the surrounding Port Stephens area. One of the Hunter region's fastest-growing
suburbs, Medowie has a property profile that suits solar particularly well - large blocks, newer homes, high energy-using families,
and a community that tends to think carefully about long-term value.
Operating from our Thornton base, we service Medowie and its surrounding areas regularly and our SAA-accredited team brings the same
in-house installation standard here that we deliver across the broader Hunter region.
Medowie Solar Installers
Medowie sits well inland from the coast, surrounded by bushland and the Grahamstown Dam catchment, and it gets the kind of clear inland solar exposure that coastal suburbs don't always see. The suburb's housing stock skews newer than much of Port Stephens - wide streets, generous block sizes, and modern rooflines mean systems here tend to go on cleanly and perform consistently.
With several major residential estates currently underway and another thousand or so homes expected to join the suburb over the next few years, we're installing across a mix of established homes and brand new builds on a regular basis.
We design and install solar PV systems for homes and businesses throughout Medowie and the surrounding Port Stephens LGA. Every system is tailored to the property's usage, roof and orientation rather than a standard-size package, and we manage the whole process ourselves from initial design through to Ausgrid grid connection, STC rebate processing and commissioning.
Helping support the renewable energy transition in Medowie & surrounds, below are some projects we've completed for properties throughout the area:

We Understand Medowie's Housing Profile: Medowie's homes are newer and generally larger than much of Port Stephens. Wide blocks, modern construction, and roofs that tend to have good north-facing sections all work in favour of high-performing solar systems. That said, the suburb's growth means we're regularly working across a range of build years and configurations, and we design for what's actually on the roof rather than assuming one setup works everywhere.
Active in the Growth Estates: Medowie has several significant residential developments in progress, including Bower Estate and Tall Trees Estate, adding hundreds of lots to the suburb over the coming years. We're actively installing across new builds in these areas and are well placed to work with builders and homeowners at the construction stage, when integrating solar from the start is most cost-effective.
Our Own Team on Every Job: We don't use subcontractors. Every installation in Medowie is completed by our own SAA-accredited team. The people who design your system are the people accountable for how it gets installed, and that consistency is something we think matters on every single job.
Built for High-Usage Family Homes: Medowie's households are predominantly families with above-average energy usage — multiple occupants, active lifestyles, EV charging requirements becoming more common, and the kind of continuous baseline load that makes a battery's payback period genuinely compelling. We size systems to match that kind of usage rather than undersizing for a lower upfront cost.
Medowie is a suburb built for families who wanted space without sacrificing access to Newcastle and the wider region. The RAAF base at
nearby Williamtown has shaped the community for decades, bringing a steady flow of defence personnel and their families who tend to be
practical, value-focused decision-makers. That character carries through to how Medowie homeowners approach energy — they're not impulse
buyers, but when the numbers make sense they act, and solar and battery in Medowie generally makes strong sense.
The suburb's large block sizes and newer roof construction generally allow for more generous system sizes without the access or structural limitations.
The Federal Battery Rebate is available to eligible Medowie homeowners and changes the payback maths considerably.
Homes near the bushland fringe should factor in shading from surrounding trees and in some cases may want to discuss bushfire-rated component options with our team.
New builds across the active Medowie estates benefit from solar being integrated at construction - we're set up to work with builders as part of the build process.
Medowie's combination of large blocks, newer homes, inland solar exposure and a high-income family demographic makes it one of the stronger solar investment areas in Port Stephens. Our team services Medowie, Salt Ash, Williamtown, Ferodale, Campvale and Bobs Farm as a regular part of our Port Stephens operations.
Tailored solar PV systems for Medowie's diverse housing stock, from established family homes on generous blocks through to new builds coming off the estates. We install panels from JA Solar, Trina and TW Solar with Fronius, Sungrow and GoodWe inverters, sized to match the kind of above-average household usage that Medowie families typically carry.
For a high-usage family home in Medowie, a battery that covers evening peak consumption can make a meaningful difference to the annual bill. We install Tesla Powerwall 3, Sungrow SBR and SBH, Fronius Reserva and GoodWe ESA systems, and the Federal Battery Rebate makes the conversation significantly easier for eligible homeowners. Worth asking about before you assume it's out of reach.
Medowie's growing commercial precinct, along with nearby operations around Williamtown and Ferodale, creates real commercial solar opportunities. We design and install commercial systems at all scales with full SAA compliance and Ausgrid grid connection management handled in-house.
The rural and semi-rural blocks on Medowie's outer edges and surrounding areas sometimes sit beyond reliable grid reach. We design complete standalone solar and battery systems for these properties, sized to meet full energy requirements independently.
Home EV charger installations are increasingly part of what we do in Medowie, where household incomes and the suburb's younger demographic mean EV uptake is ahead of the regional average. We install AC and DC options from Fronius Wattpilot, Ocular IQ, Tesla Wall Connector and Wallbox Pulsar Plus, coordinated with solar and battery where applicable.
Heat pump hot water systems pair well with solar in Medowie, where daytime generation can cover a heating cycle and the savings stack on top of panel output. Our licensed electricians handle a broad range of residential and commercial electrical work across the suburb and surrounding areas.
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.

Solar Installers Medowie
Port Stephens' second-largest town and one of its fastest-growing. Large blocks, newer homes, a strong family demographic and above-average household incomes make Medowie one of the better-performing solar investment areas in the LGA. The suburb's active development pipeline means we're regularly involved in new builds as well as established home retrofits.
Solar Installers Salt Ash
A semi-rural suburb sitting between Medowie and the Hunter estuary, Salt Ash has larger lifestyle blocks and a mix of older rural homes and newer builds. Properties here often suit generous system sizes, and some of the more isolated blocks are candidates for hybrid or off-grid configurations.
Solar Installers Williamtown
Home to RAAF Base Williamtown and Newcastle Airport, Williamtown has a mix of residential properties and associated commercial operations. Defence personnel and airport-adjacent businesses both represent good solar candidates, and we service Williamtown as part of our regular Medowie area operations.
Solar Installers Ferodale
A small semi-rural pocket between Medowie and the highway, Ferodale has larger residential blocks with good solar exposure. It falls within our regular service area and its properties tend to suit the kind of larger systems that generous roof space makes viable.
Solar InstallersCampvale & Bobs Farm
Rural-residential suburbs to the north and west of Medowie, with larger blocks and lower housing density. Properties here can be strong candidates for off-grid or hybrid systems where grid reliability is limited, and we service both areas as part of our broader northern Port Stephens operations.
Solar Installers Fullerton Cove
A quiet residential area close to the Hunter estuary, Fullerton Cove sits on the fringe of our Medowie service area. Established homes on reasonable blocks with good solar potential, serviced on request alongside our regular Medowie and Salt Ash work.
Elite Power Group service the entire Port Stephens region, providing expert solar, battery, EV charging, and electrical solutions for homes and businesses.
