We’re the only dedicated solar shopfront on the Mid North Coast, with years of experience designing and installing solar systems for rural and residential properties across the region.


Whether you're building from scratch, switching from the grid, or upgrading an old system, we manage the full process—from quote through to connection. Our licensed installers work directly with you to design a system that matches your daily usage, budget and long-term energy goals. We only use quality panels, reliable inverters and safe, compliant installation practices to ensure your system performs in all seasons.


We also take into account the demands of local conditions like wind exposure, heat, and variable shading. Nabiac customers choose us because we don’t rush the job, and we don’t disappear once the system is switched on.

Tailored For Regional Properties

Solar systems in regional towns like Nabiac need to be robust, reliable and tailored to suit the way you actually use power. We take the time to properly assess your site—roof pitch, shade, daytime usage, and access—to ensure your install delivers more than just a short-term saving.


Our team uses high-quality mounting systems and weather-resistant materials to keep everything secure and performing in the face of local conditions. We also plan your panel layout to reduce impact from trees, ridges or obstructions and help you qualify for feed-in tariffs where applicable. Once installed, we walk you through the system’s operation and show you how to monitor performance through your inverter or smartphone.


We also design systems that are scalable, so if you want to add more panels or battery storage down the line, it’s easy to do. Every install comes with the peace of mind that you’re dealing with local professionals who know the area, stand by their work, and are just around the corner if you ever need help.

  • What are common issues that delay a solar installation?

    Several factors can delay a solar installation, even after you’ve signed off on the quote. One of the most common is approval wait times, including grid connection approvals from your energy provider or development applications with council if your property is in a restricted zone. Weather conditions—particularly heavy rain or storms—can also push back installation dates, as solar systems require dry, safe working conditions. Roof repairs or structural issues may be uncovered during inspection and need to be addressed before panels can go up. Delays in product availability, such as specific inverters or batteries, can occur due to supply chain issues. Finally, incorrect or missing paperwork—like meter numbers, energy bills or site details—can halt the process. Working with an experienced, responsive installer helps reduce these delays by ensuring all prep work is handled efficiently and any issues are flagged early.

  • Can you install systems on new builds and existing homes?

    Solar systems can be installed on both new builds and existing homes. For new homes, it's often ideal to plan the system during the construction phase so roof orientation, wiring, and mounting can be integrated more cleanly. On existing homes, the process is still straightforward, though it may require additional inspection to check roof condition or electrical compatibility. Both options offer strong long-term benefits in energy savings and property value.

  • Can I upgrade my old system during a new installation?

    Yes, it’s common to upgrade or replace outdated solar systems when installing a new one. This could include adding more panels, replacing an inverter, or switching to a hybrid setup with battery storage. Upgrading allows you to take advantage of better technology, improved efficiency, and modern monitoring features. Just be sure to confirm whether your existing hardware is compatible or if full replacement is the more cost-effective option.
