We're not one of the big mobs. That's a good thing.

You know the ones: call centres, cookie cutter quotes and subcontractors who rush the job and vanish. The solar industry is full of them, and homeowners are the ones who pay for it later.

CGF Electrical does solar differently. We’re licensed electricians first and solar installers second, so every system we put on a roof is wired properly, built to last and backed by people who actually answer the phone afterwards. We use Tier 1 panels, quality inverters and zero subcontractors. The same crew designs, installs and supports your system from start to finish.

To qualify for government incentives, your system must be designed and installed by an accredited solar professional. Our installers are [SAA] accredited, and every install meets AS/NZS 5033 and AS/NZS 3000, the Australian Standards that govern solar PV arrays and electrical wiring.

For Your Home

Want solar that actually cuts your power bills and doesn’t fall apart in five years? We build a system around your roof, your energy habits and your future plans, whether that’s a battery now or just the wiring ready for one later.

We install for family homes, units, terraces and new builds across Sydney. A 6.6kW system, the most common size for Australian households, typically costs between $5,500 and $9,000 after rebates, depending on your roof and the gear you choose. Older homes may need a switchboard upgrade first, and we’ll tell you upfront if yours does.

For Your Business

We work with clinics, offices, retail spaces, warehouses and more. Commercial solar cuts your operating costs from day one, and the payback is often faster than business owners expect. Our commercial electrical team plans it properly, installs it professionally and stays out of your way while we do it.

FAQs – Solar Panel Installation Sydney

After the federal STC rebate, a 6.6kW system, the most popular size for Australian homes, typically costs between 5,500 9,000 installed. A smaller 5kW system runs around 4000 6,000, while a larger 10kW system can range from 8000 12,000. Commercial systems cost roughly $0.85 per watt on average in Sydney. We provide upfront, detailed quotes with no hidden charges.

The federal government’s Small scale Renewable Energy Scheme creates STCs (Small scale Technology Certificates) based on your system size and location. In 2026, a 6.6kW system in Sydney (Zone 3) creates roughly 36 STCs worth around $1,368. Most installers including us take the rebate off your upfront cost, so you pay the post rebate price.
Tier 1 panels come from manufacturers with strong financial backing, high production volumes and long track records rated by independent agencies like Bloomberg New Energy Finance. They’re not necessarily more expensive but they’re far more likely to still be around to honour a 25 year warranty. We only install Tier 1.
Absolutely. We can install a battery now or wire your system so it’s ready for one down the track. Battery prices in Sydney start around 5,000 installed for a 5kWh system and range up to 15,000+ for a 15kWh system. A Tesla Powerwall 3 typically runs 14000 16,500 fully installed.
A standard residential system usually takes a single day. Larger commercial installs or systems with batteries may take 2–3 days. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the quoting process.
You’ll still receive a bill but it’ll be significantly lower. Most households with a properly sized solar system see their electricity bills drop by 50–80%, depending on when they use power. The feed in tariff (around 7.7–9.4 cents per kWh exported in NSW for 2026) provides a credit for excess energy you send to the grid.
