Rooftop or ground-mounted?
Around Murrumbateman and on the blocks outside Yass, many homes sit on a few acres. When the house roof is small, shaded by trees or faces the wrong way, a ground-mounted array can do better: it can be pointed and tilted for the best year-round output, kept clear of shade and reached for cleaning without a ladder.
Ground mounts cost a little more in frames, footings and the cable run back to the switchboard, and those costs are itemised on your quote. On sheds and farm buildings we often find generous, well-oriented roof space that suits a larger system, especially where the business or farm uses power through the day.
Rebates and pricing
Website prices apply as they stand in Murrumbateman. For Yass, Gunning, Binalong and Boorowa: the prices on this website are for the ACT and within 35 km of Canberra. Out here the same system usually costs about 15–30% more, for travel, time away and the warranty responsibility that comes with distance. We confirm the final price in writing before you commit to anything.
Every NSW home gets the same federal support as Canberra: small-scale technology certificates (STCs) come off the price of solar panels, and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes a tiered amount off an approved battery. Both are applied on your quote, so there is nothing to claim afterwards.
NSW’s upfront battery installation incentive has been closed to households since July 2025. What NSW does offer is a one-off incentive when you sign a battery up to a virtual power plant (VPP), and discounts on eligible heat pump hot water through the NSW Energy Savings Scheme. The ACT’s Sustainable Household Scheme loans are for ACT homes only. Our incentives page has the current figures, and your quote shows each discount as its own line.

Common questions
Are website prices the same in Yass as in Canberra?
Murrumbateman, yes. Yass, Gunning, Binalong and Boorowa usually cost about 15–30% more for travel and time away, and we confirm the price in writing before you commit.
Do you install solar on sheds and farm buildings?
Yes. Sheds often have large, well-oriented roofs. We check the structure and the cable run to the switchboard, and size the system to how much power you use during the day.
How far can a ground-mounted array be from the house?
It depends on the cable size and the power involved. Longer runs need heavier cable, which adds cost, so we place the array as close as is practical and show the trade-off on the quote.
Can I get the NSW battery rebate here?
The NSW upfront battery installation incentive has been closed to households since July 2025, so the main discount on a new battery is the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which we apply on your quote. If you sign the battery up to a virtual power plant you can also earn a one-off NSW incentive through the VPP provider.
Your next step
Send us your address, a few photos and a recent bill. We will tell you whether the roof or a ground mount makes more sense and price both if needed.
