Solar Installation Across the Northern Rivers
Northern Rivers Power designs and installs solar for homes and businesses throughout the Northern Rivers NSW. Every system is sized around the property, the roof and how the electricity is actually used — not a packaged deal.

Most Northern Rivers homes have good sun and roof space to work with. We look at your daytime and evening usage, roof orientation, pitch and shading, then design a system that covers as much of your own consumption as practical — so you buy less electricity from the grid.
Commercial solar
Businesses that run through the day are often the best fit for solar, because generation lines up with demand. We work across shops, offices, sheds, workshops and rural operations, sizing the array against the site's load profile and available roof or ground space.
Solar system design and sizing
There is no single correct system size. The right one depends on your electricity consumption, roof area, budget and what you plan to add later. Sizes we commonly discuss include:
- Approximately 6.6kW
- Approximately 10kW
- Approximately 13kW
- Larger custom systems
- Three-phase and commercial arrays
- Ground-mount where roof space is limited
Reducing what you buy from the grid
Solar savings come from self-consumption: every kilowatt-hour you generate and use yourself is one you don't buy. Understanding your household's usage pattern — when appliances, pool pumps, air conditioning and hot water run — matters as much as the panel count. We go through this with you before recommending anything.
Battery-ready and EV-ready installations
Plenty of customers start with solar and add storage later. Where that's likely, we design the system and switchboard so a battery can be added without reworking the installation. The same applies if EV charging is on the horizon — it's easier to allow for it now than to retrofit later.
System sizes shown are indicative and used to frame the conversation — they are not fixed packages, and the appropriate system depends entirely on your property and electricity requirements. Any savings discussed are estimates, not guarantees.
