Solar Panel Installers in Sydney
Sydney homes are taking up solar faster than almost anywhere in the country, and the gap between a system that pays for itself and one that underwhelms usually comes down to who puts it on the roof. Our Clean Energy Council accredited installers handle the whole job across Sydney, from the first roof assessment through to grid connection, so your panels are sized, angled and wired for the way the sun actually hits your street.
Greenlight Solar has fitted rooftop systems for homes and businesses right across the Sydney basin, from the Hills District and Western Sydney out to the Inner West and the coast. We supply panels, batteries and inverters we would happily put on our own roofs, back the work with a workmanship guarantee, and offer $0 upfront finance so the switch fits your budget rather than blowing it.

Rebates and incentives for Sydney homes
Most Sydney households qualify for the federal small-scale certificate discount, which comes off the system price at the point of sale rather than as a rebate you claim later. If you are adding a battery, current federal and New South Wales battery incentives can bring the storage cost down further, and the amounts change over time. We work the eligible incentives into your written quote so the price you see is the price after support. For the current figures and eligibility rules, see our federal solar battery rebate guide.
How much do solar panels cost in Sydney?
Sydney pricing moves with system size, panel quality, roof complexity and whether you add storage. As a guide, here is where our fully installed systems start after the federal certificate discount is applied:
6.6 kW
Units and smaller homes
$3,099
10 kW
Average family homes
$4,990
13.3 kW
Larger homes, higher usage
$5,555
20 kW
Big homes and small business
$9,999
These are starting prices for standard installs. Your final quote depends on the site assessment, the brands you choose and any battery you add. We give you the full figure in writing before anything is booked, with no obligation to proceed.
What a Sydney solar installation involves
Every job starts with a proper look at your property, not a number over the phone. We assess roof orientation and pitch, shading from neighbouring builds and trees, the state of your switchboard and your meter type, then design a system around your real electricity use. That last part matters in Sydney, where a west-facing array can suit a household that uses most of its power in the afternoon and evening.
Most residential installs are done in a day. Battery retrofits and larger arrays can stretch into a second day. Once the system is on, we handle the paperwork for your grid connection and metering so you are not left chasing the network yourself.
Apartments, heritage-listed homes and some strata properties come with extra approval steps. Tell us the address when you book and we will flag anything council or strata related before we quote, so there are no surprises later.

Why Sydney homeowners choose our team
Our installers are CEC accredited and work for us directly, so the crew that quotes your job is the crew that does it. We are a NETCC approved seller and a certified Tesla Powerwall installer, which means the battery side is handled to the standard the manufacturers require. Every install carries our own workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer product and performance warranties, and if a panel or inverter ever underperforms, our local support team sorts it rather than pointing you back to an overseas supplier.
The panel, battery and inverter brands we install

For panels we fit Jinko, Trina, Sunpower and Aiko.
For batteries we install the Tesla Powerwall, Sungrow, Sigenergy, BYD, AlphaESS, GoodWe, Growatt, FoxESS, SAJ and Neovolt.

What Our Customer Says
Get a free Sydney solar quote
Who installs solar panels in Sydney, and are they accredited?
Our own Clean Energy Council accredited installers do the work. We do not subcontract the install to a third party, so the same team that quotes the job carries it out.
Do I need council approval to install solar in Sydney?
For most standard rooftop systems on a freestanding home, no. Heritage-listed properties, some apartments and certain strata buildings can need approval, so give us the address when you book and we will check before quoting.
How long does a solar installation take?
Most homes are finished in a single day. Larger arrays and battery retrofits can run into a second day. We handle the grid connection and metering paperwork afterwards.
Am I eligible for a solar or battery rebate in New South Wales?
Most Sydney households qualify for the federal certificate discount on the system, and current federal and NSW battery incentives can reduce storage costs. Amounts change, so we apply whatever you are eligible for directly in your quote.
Is a solar battery worth it in Sydney?
For households that use a lot of power in the evening, or want backup through outages, a battery shortens payback and cuts more off the bill. We size it against your usage so you are not paying for storage you will not use.
What size solar system does a typical Sydney home need?
A 6.6 kW system suits many smaller households, while family homes with higher usage often do better on 10 kW or more. We recommend a size based on your actual bill rather than a rule of thumb.
Do you install solar for apartments and businesses in Sydney?
Yes. We handle strata and commercial rooftops as well as standard homes. The approval path differs, so we scope it upfront when you get in touch.
