Lismore homeowners call us for new systems and for replacements when an old or damaged system needs to come off the roof. We recently replaced a 6.6kW system after fire damage, and we handle the inspection, design and installation ourselves rather than subcontracting it out. Every one of our solar panel installations, Lismore included, is designed, installed and commissioned by our team.
Solar in Lismore: rebates & network connection
Most solar panel installations, Lismore included, qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) under the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, which typically cuts around 30% off the upfront cost of a new system as an instant point-of-sale discount rather than a rebate you claim later. Lismore falls in STC Zone 3, and like the rest of the scheme the certificate value steps down every year on the way to a full phase-out by 2030 — so a system installed today earns more certificates than the same system installed in a couple of years, all else equal.
Lismore is connected to the Essential Energy network, and we lodge your connection application directly with them as part of the installation, so there's no separate paperwork on your end. Because the exact STC value depends on your system size and the certificate price on the day, we show it as a line item on your actual quote rather than a generic estimate — rebate rules do change, so we always confirm current eligibility before you commit.
Homeowners in Lismore may be eligible for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which has applied to eligible battery installations between 5 and 100kWh since 1 July 2025. It works the same way as the solar STC scheme — it generates certificates that reduce your battery's upfront cost as an instant discount, rather than a rebate you claim after the fact, with the exact figure depending on your battery's capacity and the certificate price on the day.
If you're adding a battery to an existing solar system, that system may still be earning STCs of its own on top. Lismore sits on the Essential Energy network, and we handle the connection paperwork for the battery as part of the installation. Because program details and certificate values can change, we confirm your current eligibility and show the exact discount on your itemised quote before you commit to anything.

Yes. Before your solar installation begins, we tell you how much your system should produce based on your roof, panel orientation and local sun hours. If it materially underperforms because of our design or installation, we fix it at our cost, including adding more panels if that’s what’s needed.
Lismore is on the Essential Energy network. We lodge your solar or battery connection application with Essential Energy as part of the installation, so there’s no separate paperwork for you.
Most solar systems in Lismore qualify for STCs (STC Zone 3), applied as an upfront discount. Eligible batteries may also qualify for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Because certificate values change, we confirm your eligibility and show the exact discount on your quote.
Yes. We inspect the damaged system, provide a written report if your insurer needs one, and design and install a complete replacement. We recently replaced a fire-damaged 6.6kW system in Lismore.
Often, yes. We first check your existing inverter, solar capacity, switchboard and monitoring to work out the best way to add storage, and explain exactly what the battery will and won’t back up during an outage.
