Hear From Our Customers

Friendly and knowledgeable people who are keen to help. Very happy with their product and installation process. Even after the installation their support is always readily available.

Very happy with our new solar battery. John Cherri was very professional and has been very helpful with my follow up enquiries.

My experience with R.I.A is 100% positive. From the moment Kait and John first spoke to me of the advantage and savings of having a battery installed to the install of battery and on going support. Very satisfied with the whole process. Great people to deal with.

It’s refreshing to find a company that prioritises "doing it once and doing it right" over just making a quick sale & disappearring. These guys monitor, follow up & tweak; whereas others install & disappear. Highly recommend. Thank you very much Rob & Rosie.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do solar panels cost in Newcastle?

A quality 6.6 kW solar system in Newcastle typically costs between $4,750 and $6,400 fully installed after the federal STC rebate. Larger systems (10 kW+) generally range from $7,000 to $10,500. The final price depends on the panels, inverter, and your roof setup. Renewable Industries provides transparent, itemised quotes with your exact rebate amount included.

What solar rebates are available in Newcastle, NSW?

Newcastle falls within Solar Zone 3 under the federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC) scheme. In 2026, a standard 6.6 kW system qualifies for approximately $1,700 to $1,800 in upfront rebate, applied directly by your installer. If you are adding a battery, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program offers around 30% off, and the NSW VPP incentive adds up to $1,500 when you connect to a Virtual Power Plant. These rebates can be combined.

How long does a solar installation take?

Most residential solar installations are completed in a single day. From your first enquiry to a working system, the process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, covering your free assessment, system design, Ausgrid approval, and installation scheduling. We keep you updated at every stage.

Do I need council approval for solar panels in Newcastle?

No. There are no Development Application (DA) requirements for standard residential solar installations in Newcastle. Ausgrid approval is required for grid connection, which Renewable Industries organises on your behalf as part of every installation.

Can I get a solar quote online?

You can fill in our contact form with your details and we will be in touch to arrange a free in-home energy assessment. For an accurate quote we review your electricity bills, roof layout, and energy goals so we can recommend the right system for your home and budget.

Is Renewable Industries a local company?

Yes. Renewable Industries is based in Carrington, NSW, right in the heart of Newcastle. Our team lives and works in the region and services Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Region, the Central Coast, Sydney, and Rural NSW. Every installation is completed by our own certified team, with no subcontractors involved.

What makes Renewable Industries different from other solar companies?

Unlike many solar companies that move on after installation, Renewable Industries monitors, follows up, and stays available long after the job is done. Our customers regularly mention this in reviews, noting that we are the team that ‘does it once and does it right’ rather than installing and disappearing. That ongoing relationship and local accountability is what sets us apart.
