Use your solar at night. CEC accredited battery installs for homes across Newcastle, Maitland, Singleton and the Hunter Valley, sized to your home and quoted up front.
Harris Electrical & Solar is a local team of licensed electricians and solar installers with offices in Newcastle and Singleton. If you already have solar, a lot of what your panels make in the middle of the day goes back to the grid while you’re out. A home battery stores that power so you can run the house at night. We check your existing solar, inverter and switchboard, explain your options in plain English and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
From adding a battery to your existing solar to a full solar and battery package, here’s what we do most.
We supply and install home batteries sized to how your household actually uses power, so you store more of your own solar and buy less from the grid at peak times.
01.
Already got panels on the roof? We check your inverter and system to see what’s compatible and recommend the right battery to add, without starting from scratch.
02.
Starting fresh? We design the panels and battery together so the system suits your roof, your usage and your budget from day one.
03.
Older boards often need work before a battery can go in. As licensed electricians we handle the switchboard upgrade as part of the same job, so there’s no second trade to chase.
04.
Want the essentials to keep running in a blackout? Some battery setups can provide backup power. We’ll talk you through what’s possible with your system.
05.
System not performing like it used to, or showing errors on the app? We inspect, test and sort out the problem so you’re getting the most from your solar and battery.

In most cases, yes. Some inverters can connect a battery directly, others need a hybrid inverter or a separate battery inverter. We check your system first and explain what it needs in plain English.
It comes down to how much power you use at night and how big your solar system is. We look at your bills and usage and size the battery so you’re not paying for capacity you won’t use.
Most home battery installs are done in a day. If your switchboard needs work first, we’ll tell you up front and handle it as part of the same job.
There are federal and NSW incentives for home batteries, and the amounts change from time to time. We check what applies to your home when we quote. You can read more on our NSW home battery rebates page.
