NSW Home Energy Saver: make your upgrade cheaper upfront
The NSW Government’s Home Energy Saver helps eligible households cover the upfront cost of solar, home batteries and EV chargers. There are two parts to it. A zero-interest loan of up to $15,000 is open now for property owners, repayable over up to 10 years. A discount of up to $4,000 for lower income households and renters is opening soon.
The rules catch people out. If you want both, you have to apply for the discount first, then use the loan to cover the balance. Do it the other way around and the discount cannot be used on that purchase. Your installer also has to be an approved supplier under the program.
We’ll tell you straight which support your household qualifies for, what it covers, and handle the paperwork with you.
- Zero-interest loan up to $15,000: repayable over up to 10 years, open to NSW property owners now.
- Discount up to $4,000: opening soon for households under $80,000 income or holding an eligible concession card.
- Renters can claim too: with landlord approval, so you are not stuck with a cold house you don't own.
- Landlords are eligible for the loan: a cheap way to lift the value and rating of an investment property.
- No interest, ever: It is a NSW Government backed loan, not a finance company product with a rate attached.

What is Residential Solar?
Residential solar is a home solar power system that uses rooftop solar panels to generate electricity. That electricity powers your home first. Any extra can be exported to the grid (feed-in) or stored in a battery (if installed).
A typical residential solar setup includes:
Solar panels to generate electricity
Solar inverter to convert energy into usable power
Bi-directional meter so imports and exports are measured correctly
Optional battery storage to store excess energy for night use
Optional heat pump to reduce hot water running costs
Residential Solar in Sydney, designed for your home
Sydney homes vary a lot. Roof angles, shading, switchboard location, and usage habits change the outcome.
That is why we size residential solar systems based on:
Your recent power bills (or interval data if available)
Roof space and orientation (north, east/west, mixed)
Shading and usable roof zones
Your household usage pattern (daytime vs evenings)
Future upgrades (battery readiness, EV charging, heat pump hot water)
Why Sydney Homeowners Install Residential Solar
Lower electricity bills
Generate power during the day and reduce how much you buy from the grid.
Better control over energy costs
Residential solar reduces exposure to price increases.
Battery-ready options
If you want energy stored for evenings later, we can design the system battery-ready from day one.
Add EV charging later
If an EV is on the horizon, we can plan for it now so upgrades are simple.

Our Choice of Solar Panels
Most Australian roofs run out of space long before they run out of sun. The Vertex S+ range answers that by packing more watts into a standard panel footprint, including the Australia-exclusive G3 515W module that squeezes 515W out of roughly two square metres. Fewer panels, more output, and a full black finish that actually looks good from the street.
Why homeowners choose it
- More system on a small roof. Up to 515W per module at 23.2% efficiency, so a tight or awkward roof can still carry a serious system size.
- Built for Australian weather. Rated to 5400Pa load and 4000Pa wind uplift, with a low temperature coefficient of -0.26%/degree so output holds up through a Sydney summer.
- Dual glass durability. A 1.6mm + 1.6mm dual glass build handles heat, humidity and salt air far better than a standard backsheet panel.
- 25-year product warranty plus a 30-year performance warranty, from a top-tier manufacturer that has been making panels since 1997.
- Genuinely good looking. Full black and black frame options in the range, designed to sit flush and quiet on the roofline instead of shouting for attention.
- Higher efficiency cells. Zero-busbar and zero-gap cell technology cuts electrical losses, which means more of what your roof collects reaches your meter.
- Battery and EV ready. Pairs neatly with the SigenStor and FoxESS storage on this page, so you can add a battery now or later.
The Neostar 2P 500W–525W solar panel delivers higher power from every panel, helping homes and businesses generate more energy from the available roof space. Its clean, no-front-grid design also creates a sleek, modern finish that looks great on any property.
Second-generation partial shading optimisation helps maintain stronger performance when sections of the panel are affected by trees, rooflines or passing clouds. A better temperature coefficient and high-temperature restriction also support reliable energy production during Australia’s hottest conditions.
Built with improved micro-crack resistance, the Neostar 2P offers lasting strength and dependable performance. Its high output can also reduce balance-of-system costs, making it a smart choice for anyone looking for greater efficiency, durability and long-term solar savings.

FOX ESS Hybrid Inverters provide smart control over solar generation, battery storage and household energy use within one efficient system. Available in single-phase and three-phase models from 3kW to 125kW, the range includes options for homes, larger properties and commercial applications.
High-voltage battery compatibility supports strong round-trip efficiency, allowing more stored solar energy to be used when it is needed most. Flexible configuration, plug-and-play setup and built-in protection also help make installation straightforward, while selected models provide rapid backup power during a grid outage.
Built for Australian conditions, FOX ESS Hybrid Inverters feature weather-resistant designs suitable for outdoor installation. Owners can also monitor solar generation, battery storage and system performance remotely through a smartphone app or online portal, providing greater visibility and control over their energy use.
The second-generation Sigen Hybrid Inverter brings smart energy management into a remarkably slim 99mm design. Its sleek die-cast metal body takes up minimal wall space, while the fanless construction operates at just 25dB, making it well suited to homes where quiet performance matters.
Selected three-phase models achieve up to 99% efficiency using Silicon Carbide technology, helping convert more solar energy into usable power. An IP66 protection rating and an operating temperature range from -30°C to 60°C also support reliable performance through demanding weather conditions.
The Sigen Hybrid Inverter is ready for future battery integration, allowing a solar system to be upgraded with Sigen Battery and backup power when required. It can also connect with smart loads, virtual power plants and dynamic electricity tariffs, while the mySigen app provides clear tracking of energy generation and consumption.
Enphase Energy is an American company that develops, manufactures and sells solar micro-inverters, energy generation monitoring software and battery energy storage products, primarily for residential customers. The company was established in 2006 and is headquartered in Fremont, California.
The company was the first to successfully commercialize the micro-inverter, which convert the direct current (DC) power generated by a solar panel into grid-compatible alternating current (AC) at the individual panel level. As of December 31, 2021, the company had shipped more than 42 million micro-inverters to 1.9 million solar systems in more than 130 countries.
Since 2017, Enphase has been offering its “IQ” series micro-inverters which use a simplified cabling system with two conductors (down from four) that eliminated the need for a neutral line. The first to be introduced was the IQ6, with the older M215, M250 and S280 remaining on sale but updated to use the new cabling system. The updated IQ7 series was launched in 2018, followed by the IQ8 in 2021. The IQ8 adds the ability to continue to produce power during grid outages during daytime without the need for batteries.
As of June 2022, the company also sells the IQ Battery, a home energy storage device, along with electric vehicle charging stations from ClipperCreek.
