Where we work

Solar & battery across Western Sydney

We cover most of Western and South-West Sydney, the Hills and the Blue Mountains. We travel to country NSW for bigger jobs. Here is the bit most installers won't tell you: the rules change depending on who owns the poles and wires on your street.

Why it matters who owns the wires on your street

The company that owns the poles and wires in your area sets the rules for connecting your solar, including how much power you are allowed to send back to the grid. Get it wrong and the job can fail inspection. We know the local rules, and we get the approval for you.

Common questions

How much solar can I send back to the grid?
Most homes have a standard power supply. In our main area, Endeavour, those homes can usually send about 5 kW of spare solar back to the grid. Electricians call that a single-phase supply. You can still fit a bigger system — the limit is only on how much goes back out, not on how much you make and use yourself. We check your exact limit before we fit anything.
Is the limit different in other areas?
Yes. It depends on who owns the wires on your street. Ausgrid areas usually allow more than Endeavour. Your address decides it, and we get the approval for you.
What is the sun tax?
It is a small charge for sending your solar out to the grid in the busy middle of the day, after a free daily amount. You get paid more for sending it out in the evening instead. For most homes it is only a few dollars a year, and using your own power, or having a battery, avoids it.
Do you sort the grid approval?
Yes. We put in the application and get the written approval before we fit anything. Never let anyone start work before that approval is in your hand.
Do you cover my suburb?
We cover most of Western and South-West Sydney, the Hills and the Blue Mountains, and we travel to country NSW for bigger jobs. If you are not sure, just ask us.
