Frequently Asked Questions

Power & Solar Group is led by founder and director Kieran Garside, who swapped a marine biology degree for a trade career and has spent over 10 years designing and installing solar systems suited to this stretch of coast.

Local homeowners choose us because we're an in-house, fully licensed team that handles everything from panels to Level 2 electrical work ourselves, backed by a founder who still does site visits personally.

We provide residential and commercial solar installation, battery storage, EV charger installation, Level 2 accredited electrical work, solar pool heating, heat pump hot water and smart home energy management, all handled by the same in-house team.

Yes, we design systems for homeowners, landlords and businesses alike, from a standard residential rooftop install to 30kW-plus commercial arrays for retail, hospitality, office and warehouse sites.

Every system comes with a plain-English quote covering equipment and warranty terms upfront, and we hold ourselves to the standard Kieran would want on his own roof, so there's nothing to renegotiate once the work is done.

Yes, we offer a free site assessment so we can evaluate your roof, usage and coastal exposure before giving you a plain-English quote with every cost included.

Standalone Level 2 jobs like storm damage repairs are quoted upfront before any work begins, so you'll know exactly what you're paying, including any after-hours considerations, before we start.

Yes, founder Kieran Garside is Vice President of BNI 10X, a Belrose-based business networking group that supports local Northern Beaches businesses.

Our electricians and installers work in-house rather than being subcontracted in, so the same accountable local Northern Beaches team handles your job start to finish.

We service the whole Northern Beaches, from Manly, Fairlight, Balgowlah and Seaforth in the south to Newport, Avalon Beach and Palm Beach in the north, plus hinterland suburbs like Frenchs Forest and Belrose.

You can reach us by phone or through our website, and Kieran or a member of our team will get back to you directly rather than passing you to a call centre.

Yes, switching to solar reduces how much grid electricity, largely generated from fossil fuels, your household draws on, and around 28 percent of standalone Northern Beaches homes have already made the switch.

We install current-generation Tier 1 panels, hybrid inverters and lithium-ion battery systems, and specify marine-grade, coastal-rated components as standard rather than as an upsell.
