Solar Power Systems

The Right Solar System for Your Home, Custom Designed, Locally Installed

Every home on the Central Coast is different, roof orientation, shading, household size, energy consumption patterns, and electricity goals all vary. That’s why we don’t sell cookie-cutter solar panel packages. We design each solar power system specifically for your home based on a thorough site assessment and analysis of your actual energy usage.

Central Coast Energy installs residential solar systems from 6.6kW through to 13kW+ and commercial systems from 10kW to 100kW+. All systems use Tier 1 solar panels from Trina, Jinko or Sungrow paired with premium inverters from Fronius, Enphase, SMA, Sungrow or GoodWe, backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty and full manufacturer warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solar System FAQs

Common questions about choosing, sizing and installing a solar panel system on the Central Coast.

The right size depends on your household’s energy consumption, roof space and budget. As a general guide: a 6.6kW system suits 1–2 person households or smaller homes, a 10kW system is ideal for average families of 3–4 people, and a 13kW system suits larger families or homes with pools, ducted air conditioning or EV charging. During our free on-site consultation, we analyse your actual power bills and roof to recommend the exact right size for your situation.

We install Tier 1 solar panels from Trina Solar, Jinko Solar and Sungrow. All are bankable, internationally certified manufacturers with strong Australian warranty support and proven long-term performance. We pair these with premium inverters from Fronius, Enphase, SMA, Sungrow and GoodWe — recommending the best combination for your specific installation.

A typical residential solar installation is completed in a single day — usually 4–6 hours depending on system size and roof complexity. From signing your quote to having the system installed is usually 2–4 weeks, which includes ordering equipment, scheduling the installation date, and handling all paperwork. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process.

Some older homes on the Central Coast have switchboards that don’t meet current electrical standards required for solar installation. We assess your switchboard during the on-site consultation and let you know upfront if an upgrade is needed. If so, we include it in your quote — no surprises. A switchboard upgrade also improves the overall safety of your home’s electrical system.
