CHOOSING THE RIGHT SOLAR SOLUTION FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD.

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.

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.

WHY INVEST IN SOLAR ENERGY?

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.
