Solar & Batteries in Newcastle
Newcastle and the Hunter get plenty of sun, and plenty of salt air near the coast. We design and install systems that make the most of the first and stand up to the second.
Solar in Newcastle
From the beaches to the Hunter Valley, here is what we plan for.
Built for salt air
Close to the coast we use mounting and fittings suited to salty air, so the system lasts as long as it should.
Room to grow
Bigger blocks in the Hunter often have space for more panels, a larger battery or an EV charger later. We design for it from the start.
Businesses and workshops
Workshops, farms and businesses that run in daylight get the most from solar. We size it to your daytime use.
Ausgrid
Newcastle and the Hunter are on the Ausgrid network. We handle your connection application with them.
