Solar & Battery Installers in Bathurst
From the newer estates in Kelso and Eglinton to rural blocks out towards Rockley and Perthville, Bathurst homes use plenty of power, especially for heating through frosty Central Tablelands winters. We travel to Bathurst and the surrounding region to install solar panels and home batteries, and we’ll recommend a system that suits your roof, your usage and your budget.
Our services
Residential solar from 6 kW
Our systems generally start at 6 kW and go up from there. Bathurst households with ducted heating, a pool or an EV often need more, so we size it from your bills rather than guesswork.
Home batteries
A battery lets you use your daytime solar on cold evenings, when heating demand peaks. Eligible batteries get an upfront discount through the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which we take off your quote. For batteries installed by 31 December 2026 it works out at roughly $270 per kWh of usable capacity for the first 14 kWh at current certificate prices, with a smaller discount for capacity above 14 kWh. The rate steps down on 1 January 2027.
Commercial and rural solar
Businesses, workshops and farm sheds around Bathurst often suit larger systems. We’ll review your energy bills and roof space and give you a clear proposal.
In NSW you may also be eligible for an upfront incentive under the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme when you connect your battery to a virtual power plant (VPP). It’s paid on up to 28 kWh of battery capacity, through participating VPP providers.

Designing for frost, storms and big sheds
Bathurst’s cold, clear winter mornings are good for panel efficiency, but shorter days mean less winter output, so we look at your usage across the whole year. Summer thunderstorms can bring hail, so we use panels that meet the IEC 61215 standard, which includes hail impact testing, and we install mounting rated for your site’s wind conditions.
On rural properties the shed is often the best place for solar. It may have a better angle, more roof space, or be closer to the meter board than the house. A shed wall can also be a good home for a battery, out of direct sun and weather. We’ll work out the best layout and cable run for your property.
Frequently asked questions
Which network is Bathurst on?
Most of the Bathurst region is on Essential Energy, and some areas are on Endeavour Energy. Your electricity bill shows which one you’re on, and we handle the connection either way.
Can you put panels on my shed instead of the house?
Often, yes. It depends on the roof structure, orientation and the distance to your switchboard. We’ll assess it on the free site visit.
How big a system do I need?
Most homes start at 6 kW. Bigger homes with electric heating or a pool often go larger. We’ll recommend a size once we’ve seen your bills.
