    I contacted Darren after being recommend by my Electrician to sort out my solar battery system upgrade and they were great to deal with and provided over and above service (even on a weekend) to identify the problem and issues. Installation was done and other issues requiring correction were addressed and the workmanship and attention to detail was great. Good to see a company that prides on its service and delivers on that promise...

    Fantastic experience with STE Solar! From the initial consultation, everything was smooth and professional. Darren was incredibly helpful. He took the time to explain all the details clearly and made sure I understood how the system would work. His knowledge and patience were much appreciated. Communication throughout the process was excellent. I was kept informed every step of the way, and any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. The installation on the day was flawless. The team was punctual, efficient, and took the time to walk me through the system once it was up and running. They also showed me how to use the app to track performance, which was super easy to understand. STE Solar made the whole process simple and stress-free. Highly recommend!

    STE are pros. They have great communication from the start with a comprehensive consult at our home to getting the quotes and they provided great and clear advice on financing options. The install day was awesome with an efficient and respectful team that got a large install done in one day and tidied up after themselves. Darren is a great person to work with who came highly recommended and did not disappoint!

    We had been shopping around for a solar and battery setup for our property. Every solar company we reached out to seem to be more interested in delivering a sales pitch by someone who couldn't provide us with the technical information we needed. We then found the team at STE solar. Darren was punctual, polite, and a technical solar expert, not a salesman looking to make the most out of recent government rebates. They installed the system and did not ask for a cent until the battery back order was filled and the system was fully operational. The STE team left the property clean and took the time to talk us through all the functions within the app. We are extremely happy with our solar and highly recommend this long standing family business.

    Darren and his team at STE did an impressive and professional makeover of our old solar system. From very clear planning, to sticking to promised timelines, to removing the old system, updating our tired old meter box, installing the new panels, advising and installing a battery and finally being very diligent with monitoring and follow-up. His attention to detail is very impressive. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. You can employ this team with full confidence.

Frequently asked questions

How much do solar installers typically charge?
Solar costs vary widely depending on system size, equipment choices, roof access and whether additional electrical upgrades or battery work are required. Simple panel adds or routine maintenance are typically much less involved than full system installs or battery integrations. This page shows live pricing to help compare current rates alongside the specific scope of your job.
Do solar installers charge call-out fees?
Yes — call-out fees are common for solar installers and are often charged to cover attendance and an initial assessment. Call-outs are usually separate from hourly labour and materials, and after-hours or emergency visits typically attract higher rates. Confirm whether a call-out fee is included or listed separately when comparing quotes.
Do solar installers need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Solar installation work is required to be carried out by a licensed installer in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW installers are licensed through NSW Fair Trading. Many installers also hold industry credentials such as Clean Energy Council accreditation and may display a valid state electrical contractor licence on quotes, as well as public liability insurance. These credentials can help indicate the installer has relevant training and compliance practices.
