    John at Sunset Solar was a pleasure to deal with. He promptly gave us a quote for our solar battery, which was very competitive & came to see the site explaining what would be done. We had extra panels added to our system also. The weather was an absolute challenge, but John communicated each day & worked tirelessly as the weather permitted. He explained all facets of the battery & made sure that I was familiar with the App & it's function. All documentation was made available to me. A job well done & I would highly recommend John at Sunset Solar.

    We had a solar system with solar panels and an inverter installed for just over 10 years when the inverter broke down and became unrepairable. The solar panels were still generating plenty of power. We sought to add a new inverter and upgrade with a battery. Our situation was slightly more complicated because we have 3-phase electricity. We then began a search for quotes to meet our needs. It soon became apparent that many companies employ salespeople with little understanding of the technicalities. Rather, they would quote for the same setup each time; a setup that always included solar panels despite us saying we did not need them. Each time we queried a quote, the salesperson went scurrying off to find an answer to our questions; and each time the price went up. With John from Sunset Solar it was different. John came in person to our residence, sized up the physical realities, and made suggestions for the placement of the system components; a benefit of having a local man. With that visit and follow-up emails, he sorted through both the technical issues and the supply issues. Within a month of giving a quote, he had the system installed, after working through some hot and very humid conditions. No doubt, most people will get at least three quotes for their solar system. We recommend you make one of those a quote from John Rutkowski’s “Sunset Solar”. We believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Excellent service from John with our solar panels and our new Tesla battery which worked perfectly during the recent serious power outage. The installation of both were neatly completed and worked perfectly. Having someone we could rely on who was a local meant John was able to answer any queries promptly. Having had very negative experiences with non local solar sub contractors in the past we have no hesitation to recommend Sunset Solar for value, service and professional competence. Thank you John

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.
Does Sunset Solar have a verified ABN?
Yes. Sunset Solar has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
