Newcastle's Leading Residential & Commercial Solar Installers
Newcastle's Leading Residential & Commercial Solar Installers
Hi, we're Elite Power Group — your local specialists in commercial and industrial solar and battery
storage across Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Singleton and the wider Hunter. From 10kW systems for smaller sites through to
1MW+ large-scale industrial installations, we design and install in-house, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Every property type uses power differently, so we don't run one template across every job. Office buildings and strata complexes tend to draw power steadily through the day, while factories, cold stores and processing plants often have sharper peaks tied to equipment and shift patterns.
We design around your actual usage — covering office and retail fit-outs, strata and multi-tenant buildings, farms, warehouses, factories and other high-consumption industrial sites across Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Singleton and the Hunter.
We've delivered commercial and industrial solar for businesses, strata complexes and industrial facilities throughout the region, from rooftop arrays on retail and office buildings through to larger-scale industrial installations.
We have installed over 2MW for a tile manufacturer in Rutherford, National Ceramics Industries Australia
(NCIA).
This large-scale, industrial installation will help NCIA’s heavy energy consumption in their day-to-day operations.
We are thrilled to see this massive installation come together. It has been an exciting journey, and we’re
looking forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on not only NCIA’s power bill, but the environment as well.
Our friends over at Tillys continue to invest in solar systems for their Childcare Centres in Cardiff, Fern Bay, and Gillieston Heights.
Since their installations, each Tillys building has seen up to a 95% reduction in their electricity bills, compared to their pre-solar bill.
Like most childcare centres, Tillys consumes most of their power throughout the day with general consumption, commercial kitchens, and ducted air conditioning running until closing time, which could reach up to 190 kWh per day.
The 39kW of JA solar panels and 30kW Sungrow inverter was chosen due to the best all-round value for self-consumption, with the option of adding battery storage in the future.
Our neighbours in the heart of Thornton can now take full advantage of their solar production with over 90x Trina solar panels with a 30kW Sungrow solar inverter.
This system is designed to offset the building's daily energy consumption, and even charge fleet and customer electric vehicles with the solar-compatible myenergi Zappi EV charger.
With a total 39.6kW of solar energy, this system is more than capable of reducing the business's operational
expenses.

From day-one savings to long-term protection against rising prices, here's what a commercial system actually changes for your business - not just the sustainability talk.
By offsetting your daily electricity consumption by using renewable energy, you increase your independence and reduce your overall operational expenses.
Depending on your usage and chosen system size, you can offset a significant portion of your consumption, enabling a quicker return-on-investment timeframe.
As the renewable transition continues, you can also approach sustainability from a branding point of view, to show your customer your environmental efforts.
Because of the increased reliance on renewable energy, you greatly reduce your carbon footprint and environmental impact that your business may have.
With futures being uncertain, it is getting increasingly important to shield yourself from uncontrollable circumstances that may affect higher operational costs like energy.
Overtime, your business will evolve and so will your energy requirements. You have the ability to upgrade your solar to keep up with demand, or add a commercial battery.
Finding a solar installer you can trust to still be around when a warranty claim comes up isn't always easy. We're based in Thornton, our team is in-house rather than subcontracted, and there's no call centre between you and the people who actually installed your system.
Fill out the form below for a free quote on solar, battery, EV charging or electrical work — wherever you are across Newcastle, Maitland,
Lake Macquarie, Singleton and the Hunter.
I don't see any prices?
Every quote is custom. We don't run standard "one-size-fits-all" packages, because no two properties have quite the same roof, usage pattern or budget.
Electricity is one of the biggest controllable overheads on a commercial
site, whether you're running an office, a warehouse or a manufacturing plant. We design systems from around 10kW for smaller sites right
through to 60kW and beyond for higher-consumption operations, sized to your actual daytime usage rather than a standard package.
40kW Solar Power & Inverter System for Businesses
39.6kW Commercial Solar Package: A 40kW system suits businesses with higher daytime electricity use - offices, retail strata or light industrial sites — offsetting a larger share of consumption and shortening payback compared with a smaller system.
90 x 440W Solar Panels & a 30kW Solar Inverter
60kW Solar Power & Inverter System for Businesses
64.6kW Commercial Solar Package: Our largest standard package, built for warehouses, manufacturing sites and other high-consumption operations where daytime draw is substantial enough to justify a bigger array and a faster overall payback.
147 x 440W Solar Panels & a 50kW Solar Inverter
20kW+ Solar Power & Inverter System for Businesses
26.4kW Commercial Solar Package: A solid entry point for smaller offices, retail units or strata buildings with moderate daytime use - enough to offset a meaningful share of consumption without paying for capacity that you may not use.
60 x 440W Solar Panels & a 20kW Solar Inverter
