Home Solar Installers Newcastle
More and more Australian homeowners are switching to residential solar power to cut electricity bills and take control of their energy. Our local team of in-house solar professionals help you find the right solar system for your home - whether that's a 6.6kW system for a small household or a 13.2kW+ system for high-consumption properties.
We service homes across Newcastle, Maitland, the Hunter
Valley, Lake
Macquarie,
Port Stephens,
and Cessnock.
With over 15 years of experience in residential solar installation and electrical work, Elite Power Group are specialists in
custom-designed home solar systems built for long-term performance.
Every household uses energy differently, which is why we don't believe in a standard recommendation. Smaller households or those with lower
daytime usage are often well-served by a smaller system, while larger families, all-electric homes, or properties running pool pumps and air
conditioning typically benefit from a larger setup. Rather than guessing, we'll walk you through your usage patterns and recommend a system
size that actually fits — with full package details, components, and pricing available on our solar
system packages page.

We understand that when looking into solar power for your home, the initial cost of the system can be a big barrier. We offer financing and loan options to help you gain access to solar energy faster.
Is there a solar rebate in Newcastle? Yes, there is an active solar subsidy, designed to reduce the total cost of installing solar Australia-wide.
Developed by the Australian Government, the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) is a subsidy to enable customers to save on their first solar system.
Similar to the federal battery rebate, the solar rebate is available but its value is slowly decreasing as the years continue, and is expected to finish in 2030.
Elite Power Group install residential solar panel systems throughout the Hunter Valley - from Newcastle and Maitland to Cessnock, Singleton, and beyond. The Hunter Valley's climate makes it ideal for solar, with strong year-round sun exposure delivering excellent daily generation for homes and properties. If you're looking for a residential solar installer in the Hunter Valley, our local team are ready to design and quote a system that works for your property.
With NSW solar rebates through the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) still active, financing options available, and electricity
prices continuing to rise, residential solar installation is one of the best returns on investment a homeowner can make. The cost of a
solar system varies by size and property - a 6.6kW system suits most households, while a 10kW or 13.2kW system suits larger families
or those with higher consumption.
Switching to solar significantly reduces your power bills, giving you long-term savings and protection from rising energy prices in the Hunter region. With the right system, your solar panels can pay for themselves within just a few years.
Based in Thornton NSW, Elite Power Group are authorised and fully-licenced residential solar installers servicing the greater Hunter region - including Newcastle, Maitland, Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Port Stephens, and the Hunter Valley.
