Solar Installation Narrabeen Homeowners Can Trust
Power & Solar Group is a
Northern Beaches based, licensed and SAA-accredited solar business installing and connecting systems from the lagoon side streets to the ridge lines above Narrabeen Beach. We are a local team, not a call centre that subcontracts the job out, and founder
Kieran Garside personally attends site visits. Our electricians hold NECA Level 2 accreditation in-house, and every system carries marine-grade hardware as standard, because we know what salt air off Narrabeen Beach and Collaroy does to cheap fittings. Whether you are on a lagoon-facing block with tree cover, a beachfront property, or a home toward Elanora Heights, we design for your roof, not a template.

Smart home energy management so you can see what your system produces and uses
If you are wondering whether a tree-shaded lagoon block or an exposed beachfront rooftop suits solar, our site visits assess orientation, shading and your bill before we recommend anything.
What We Do
Our Services
We design and install solar panels sized to your Northern Beaches roof and household usage, using marine-grade mounting hardware built to handle salt air, storms and coastal humidity.
We install hybrid inverter battery systems that store your daytime solar for evening use, cut reliance on expensive grid power, and keep essential circuits running through blackouts and coastal storms.
We fit string inverters, power optimisers or microinverters based on your roof's shading, always rated for marine environments, so your Northern Beaches system performs reliably well for decades to come.
We design commercial solar systems from 30kW to 100kW-plus for Northern Beaches retail, hospitality, office and warehouse sites, where peak demand lines up with peak solar production for faster payback.
We install solar-integrated EV chargers that divert your surplus solar power straight into your car instead of exporting it to the grid, making the most of every kilowatt you generate.
Our in-house, NECA-accredited Level 2 electricians handle meter alterations, mains connections and service line work, so your solar installation never waits on a second contractor on the Northern Beaches.

Narrabeen Local Snapshot
Narrabeen sits about 23km north-east of the Sydney CBD on the Northern Beaches, built around Narrabeen Lagoon and the beach strip that shares its name, and Power & Solar Group treats every roof here as its own microclimate rather than a postcode average. The lagoon covers roughly 2.2 square kilometres with a 55 square kilometre catchment fed by five waterways — Deep Creek, Middle Creek, Mullet Creek, Narrabeen Creek and Nareen Creek — and just under half that catchment is still bushland, some of it inside Garigal National Park. That mix of mature lagoon-side tree cover and open ridge lines is exactly why two roofs a few streets apart can perform so differently.
- Narrabeen Beach runs through North Narrabeen, Narrabeen, South Narrabeen and into Collaroy — four beaches, each with its own surf life saving club and a long competitive surfing pedigree
- Regular storm swell and lagoon-entrance erosion are a fact of life on this stretch, a reminder of how much salt-laden wind the roofline copes with here
- Housing spans older fibro cottages close to the lagoon through to newer builds on the ridges toward Elanora Heights and Warriewood
- Around 8,255 people call Narrabeen home (2021 Census), median age near 42, with a strong mix of long-term families, professionals and retirees
- Postcode 2101 sits within STC Zone 3, the same federal solar rebate zone as the rest of greater Sydney
Whether your roof sits under lagoon-side trees or catches sun straight off the ridge, that's the starting point for how Power & Solar Group designs your system — not an afterthought.
Understanding Solar Energy in Narrabeen
Solar panels convert sunlight into usable electricity, and in Narrabeen the number that actually matters is your own roof's sun exposure, not a suburb-wide average. Narrabeen sits in STC Zone 3, the same zone as the rest of greater Sydney, averaging around 4.6 peak sun hours a day. A well-positioned 6.6kW system here typically produces about 9,600kWh a year, though winter output can fall 30 to 40 percent below summer levels.
- IPART's 2026–27 flat feed-in tariff benchmark is 3.4 to 6.5 cents per kWh, down from 4.8 to 7.3 cents the year before
- Time-of-day tariffs pay far more for power exported between 4pm and 9pm on the Ausgrid network — benchmarked at 17.2 to 18.7 cents per kWh — which changes the economics for anyone running a battery or EV charger
- Grid electricity on Ausgrid's 2026–27 Default Market Offer sits around 33.1 cents per kWh, so the gap between what you're paid to export and what you pay to import makes self-consumption the real driver of savings
- 28 percent of Northern Beaches houses already have solar, up from 21 percent in 2023, among more than 23,000 rooftop systems installed council-wide
- Typical Northern Beaches households save $1,400 to $2,300 a year, and a lagoon-side Narrabeen roof under tree cover can still be a strong candidate, provided the system is designed around that shading rather than ignoring it
Narrabeen Solar Buying Tips
Buying solar in Narrabeen comes down to matching system size, panels and mounting hardware to your roof and its exposure, and Power & Solar Group runs every quote through the same checklist whether you're beachfront in North Narrabeen or up on the ridge toward Elanora Heights. Worth knowing before you get quotes:
1
Ask for a plain-English, itemised quote rather than a single lump-sum figure
2
Check whether Level 2 meter work is subcontracted out, since that's often where delays and a second contact point creep in
3
Confirm marine-grade stainless fixings and anodised rails are standard, not a paid extra, given how much salt air this stretch of coast copes with
4
Ask how the quote handles shading from lagoon-side trees, since it determines whether microinverters or optimisers are worth the extra spend
5
Confirm the installer's SAA accreditation is current, because that's what makes your system eligible for the STC rebate
6
Compare hardware brands line-by-line across quotes, not just the bottom-line number
We provide free, obligation-free quotes for Narrabeen homes and businesses, and because we design every system in-house rather than through a broker network, the quote you get is exactly what our own team will install.
Solar Cost Guide for Narrabeen
Solar cost scales with system size, and Power & Solar Group provides upfront, itemised pricing so Narrabeen customers know exactly what they're paying for. As a guide, current indicative pricing after the STC rebate:
3-5kW system
From $3,700 to $4,900-plus.
6.6kW system
(Most common): $5,000 to $7,000-plus.
8-10kW system
$7,000 to $9,500-plus.
13kW+ system
$10,000 to $13,000-plus.
Adding a battery
Adds $8,000 to $20,000-plus, with the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program currently discounting battery costs by roughly 30 percent.
A 6.6kW system produces around 25 to 28kWh a day, saving $1,700 to $2,300 a year and paying back in 3 to 4 years. An 8 to 10kW system produces 30 to 40kWh a day, saving $2,300 to $3,100 a year over 4 to 5 years, while a 13kW-plus system produces over 50kWh a day, saving $3,300 to $4,500 a year over 5 to 6 years. Solar-plus-battery runs a longer 6 to 10 year payback, but for lagoon-side homes that have weathered their share of storm-related outages, the backup value on offer often counts for more than the numbers alone show. Commercial solar from 30kW to 100kW-plus is priced on bulk rates with accelerated depreciation available.
Designed for Narrabeen
Solar Solutions for Narrabeen Properties
Narrabeen's property mix is wide — lagoon-side cottages under established trees, exposed beachfront homes, and larger blocks on the ridges — so Power & Solar Group designs to the roof in front of us, not a standard package. A beachfront home needs different hardware to a shaded lagoon-side property, and both differ again from a larger block toward Elanora Heights.
North-Facing Roofs
North-facing roofs pitched 15 to 30 degrees perform best and set the output benchmark.
East-West Roofs
East-west roofs, common on the older blocks around Ocean Street and through central Narrabeen, still capture 80 to 90 percent of that output.
Shaded Lagoon-Side Roofs
Shaded lagoon-side roofs benefit from microinverters or power optimisers, so one shaded panel doesn't drag down the whole array.
Flat Roofs
Flat roofs, more common on newer unit developments, use angled mounting frames to hit the right tilt.
Larger Blocks
Larger blocks toward Elanora Heights and Warriewood can support bigger systems — 8kW to 13kW-plus — for heat pumps, pool pumps or EV charging.
Pathfinder Shading Analysis
Every site visit includes a pathfinder shading analysis and a switchboard load capacity check.
Narrabeen Rebates and Incentives
Solar rebates on the Northern Beaches reduce the upfront cost of a system through the federal STC scheme, and Power & Solar Group handles the entire claims process in-house, so Narrabeen customers see the rebate applied at point of sale, not chased afterwards. Postcode 2101 sits within STC Zone 3 alongside the rest of greater Sydney, meaning a 6.6kW system installed here currently generates in the order of 45 to 70 STCs. Key incentives:
STC rebate: a one-off, upfront discount cutting roughly $1,700 to $4,000 off a typical 6.6kW system
Federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program: still worth around 30 percent off battery storage costs following the May 2026 changes, though the discount now tapers as battery capacity increases
NSW feed-in tariff: 3.4 to 6.5 cents per kWh for flat exported power in 2026–27, rising to roughly 17 to 19 cents per kWh under Ausgrid's time-of-day evening benchmark
Accelerated depreciation: available to eligible commercial installations
The difference is timing: the STC rebate is a one-off discount applied upfront, while the feed-in tariff is an ongoing credit for every kWh you export. The STC scheme steps down every 1 January and is legislated to phase out completely by the end of 2030, so the rebate only gets smaller from here — and the Northern Beaches, which has already recorded the highest number of home battery installations of any council area in NSW, is a reminder of how quickly local households are moving on this.

We’ve just had solar panels, battery and a gateway installed by Kieran and the team and we would highly recommend them. They are friendly, professional, and turned up on time. They were also very helpful with information about providers and apps and will continue to monitor down the track. The installation looks great, and the quality of their work is excellent.
Great team led by Kieran who installed a new PV + battery along with a three phase upgrade to support a planned EV charger. Fast turnaround , excellent quality of work, and great communication over the course of scoping and execution. Can recommend Kieran and the team at Power & Solar Group.
Brilliant work installing a Battery and more Solar Panels. Really impressive attention to detail, great service including visiting the site before even estimating the job, and then a really competitive price, and great service and hard work to do a really high quality install. Overall highly recommended!
We highly recommend Kieran and his team who very efficiently, cleanly and cheerfully installed solar over some extremely hot days! They never complained! Every effort was made to ensure installation of the panels and the battery was totally balanced and symmetrical. The job was completed quickly and they left our property spotless! They are like ninjas! We are very grateful for their amazing service and professionalism!
Kieran and his team installed 15kW of Solar and 32kWh battery. All work was carried out professionally and within the timeframe nominated. What I really like about Kieran and his team is they actually did what they said and committed to do. Overall a great experience.
Kieren and his team are a 6-star outfit. They provided a proven solution that met our requirements to the letter. Over a 3-day install in 30-degree heat, they worked hard, got it right first time, and delivered on schedule. What impressed me most was the sheer proficiency - everything done with ease and efficiency, polite and clear communication at every stage. Can be trusted to deliver a high standard at a competitive rate. Highly recommend.
FAQs about Solar Installation in Narrabeen
How much does solar installation cost in Narrabeen?
Solar-only systems cost $4,500 to $12,000-plus after the STC rebate, with a 6.6kW system around $5,200 to $7,500-plus. Battery storage brings total cost to $8,000 to $22,000-plus.
Do I need council approval for solar panels in Narrabeen?
Most residential systems under 10kW do not need council approval under NSW SEPP provisions. Heritage properties, strata buildings and larger commercial sites sometimes need it.
Does solar still work on a Narrabeen roof that is not north-facing?
Yes. East-west roofs, common across older Narrabeen housing stock, still produce 80 to 90 percent of north-facing output. Angled frames and microinverters lift performance further on shaded roofs.
How much can a Narrabeen household save with solar?
Typical Northern Beaches households save $1,400 to $2,300 a year, with payback of 3 to 5 years for most residential sizes.
Who is the best solar installer near me in Narrabeen?
Look for a licensed, insured, SAA accredited installer using marine-grade hardware as standard, with a founder personally involved in site visits. Power & Solar Group meets all of this, in-house.
What is the difference between STCs and the feed-in tariff for Narrabeen solar systems?
STCs are a one-off rebate applied upfront, cutting $1,700 to $4,000 off a 6.6kW installation. The feed-in tariff is an ongoing credit, currently 4.8 to 7.3 cents per kWh, for exported solar electricity.
