Home Solar Installers NSW
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.
With over 12 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. Our solar system
size guide walks through solar system sizing in more detail, or jump straight to our solar
and battery packages
to see pricing on each size.
Small Home Solar Systems
A well matched system for smaller households with modest daily usage. It cuts your daytime power bill, keeps installation simple, and leaves room to add a battery later.
Medium Solar Systems
Built for families who run air conditioning, dishwashers, washing machines and electric hot water through the day. It covers most of your daytime usage and exports the rest.
Large Solar Systems
For larger homes, working from home, pools, and households planning for an electric vehicle. It gives you the most generation from your roof and the biggest cut to your power bill. Compare packages and battery options
WHAT AFFECTS THE COST OF HOME SOLAR?No two homes cost exactly the same, because the price depends on a few things: |
Your roof. Size, direction, pitch and material all change the design and the labour. How much power you use. Your bills show us how big a system makes sense. Your power supply. Single phase and three phase homes differ in requirements. The equipment. Panel quality, inverter brand and whether you add a battery. |
Instead of relying on bigger solar companies that may prioritise profit, getting
the job done, and subcontract all their projects, you can trust the best solar installers from
Cessnock to
Port Stephens
to
prioritise you. Discover the solar
installation process today.
Every solar journey begins with a conversation. Getting in touch with our team enables homeowners to consult with industry professionals to help explore the best solar systems possible.
Once your requirements have been identified, our qualified solar designers create a custom-designed system, optimising roof space, orientation, and size for the ideal solar system.
When it's time to get your home solar system installed, our team will arrive to your house with all the gear required. It can take between 1-2 days installation days, depending on the size.

Partnering with Plenti, we offer fee and interest-free solar and battery loans for NSW households looking to

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 options and incentives to help you gain access to solar energy faster.
Is there a solar rebate in NSW? 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 and battery systems.
Explore the available rebates & incentives that you could be eligible for today.
Elite Power Group install residential solar panel systems throughout the Hunter Valley - from Nelson Bay, to Lake Macquarie, 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-licensed residential solar installers servicing the greater Hunter region.
With over 10 years in operation, our SAA-accredited team handle every step in-house: site assessment, system design, installation, and ongoing support.
