Solar for Maitland homes, old and new
Maitland has a real mix of housing. There are historic homes in Morpeth, Bolwarra and central Maitland, established streets in Lorn, Tenambit and East Maitland, and large newer estates in Thornton, Aberglasslyn, Gillieston Heights and Metford. Older houses can have switchboards that need an electrician's eye, which is where our trade background really helps.
We install Jinko panels with Deye, Goodwe, Sungrow, Fronius or Sigenergy inverters. Typical home systems run from 6.6kW to 20kW, sized to how your household actually uses power.
Batteries for Maitland households
Many Maitland families are home in the afternoon and evening, so a battery can help you use more of your own solar. We install Pylontech, Deye, Dyness, Goodwe, Tesla, BYD, Sungrow and Sigenergy batteries, and our team is Tesla Powerwall certified.
We will give you an honest opinion on whether a battery is worth it for you right now, and we can add one to an existing system if that makes more sense.
If you are buying a battery with the future in mind, such as an electric car or a growing family, we can design the system so it can be extended later.
What solar costs and how we quote
We begin with your electricity bills and a chat about your household, then check your roof and switchboard. You receive a clear written quote with no pressure.
Grid-connected home systems generally cost about $5,000 to $23,000, depending on size, inverter and whether a battery is added.
If your Maitland home has an older switchboard, we will explain clearly what, if anything, needs upgrading and why, before you commit.
Local conditions in Maitland
Maitland sits on the Hunter River floodplain, so the city is flat, open and sunny, and many roofs get excellent sun exposure. The area has a long history of floods, and locals take storms and power interruptions seriously. We install equipment thoughtfully, with sensible placement of inverters and batteries, and we are happy to talk through what that means for your property.
Maitland City Council covers the whole city, including newer release areas such as Lochinvar and Gillieston Heights where there is plenty of new housing, and our team installs across all of them.
Finance, timing and aftercare close to home
Most installs take four to six weeks from consultation to commissioning. We can arrange finance through HandyPay Green Loans if that suits you.
Remote monitoring and aftercare are included with every system. Pick up the phone on 02 4017 1181 and start a conversation with a local team.
You can also read our Google reviews before you call. We have a 4.8 star rating from 136 reviews and would rather you see what real customers say than take our word for it.
