in Sydney
100% Aussie owned. Locally employed crews for your install. Gain peace of mind by choosing local.
Servicing Sydney, Western Sydney and Surrounds
First Sun Solar is a locally owned installation company headquartered in the Byron Shire, with crews servicing Greater Sydney from the Northern Beaches through Western Sydney and down to the Sutherland Shire. We were started by Australian engineers and tradespeople who wanted to offer something the solar industry often doesn’t: quality equipment installed by people who actually work for us, backed by a company that picks up the phone after the job is done.
Every system is designed in-house. And every job is owned by us from first call to final inspection, not handed off to a subcontractor you’ve never met.
- Locally employed installation teams
- In-house design engineers for every custom system
- Dedicated post-installation support and monitoring
- Transparent fixed pricing with no hidden charge

Find The Right Solar Technology
GET SOLAR & BATTERIES WITH A $15,000 INTEREST-FREE LOAN
The NSW Government’s Home Energy Saver program lets eligible households borrow up to $15,000 at 0% interest to install solar, batteries and other energy upgrades, repaid over up to 10 years. No interest, no fees, and nothing to pay upfront.
First Sun Solar is an approved installer under the scheme, which means you can apply directly through us. We’ll design your system, confirm your eligibility, and refer you to the government’s approved finance provider to complete your application. You only ever repay what you borrow, and for most households the savings on your power bill cover the repayments from day one.
The loan also stacks with the federal battery rebate, so your out-of-pocket cost drops before the loan even kicks in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the solar installation process take?
The installation timeframe varies based on the system size and complexity, but most residential installs are completed within a day. Some larger or more complex installations may require longer.
Typically most installations are completed within 2-4 weeks from placing an order.
Can I add a solar battery to my existing solar system?
Yes, it is possible to retrofit an existing solar system with a battery bank. For typical daily residential use, between 5kWh – 15kWh of storage is appropriate.
Some brands offer blackout protection by continuously providing power in case of a grid outage.
If the existing system is less than 6.6kW, consider adding additional panels to ensure you are producing enough electricity to fill your battery.
What is the cost of installing a solar system with First Sun Solar?
The cost varies based on factors such as system size, brand selection, roof type, and installation complexity. We offer personalized quotes during our free solar assessment, ensuring transparency and no hidden fees. First Sun Solar are positioned in the market as a high quality retailer with well priced systems that fit the needs of any budget.
What types of solar systems does First Sun Solar install?
We install solar and battery systems for on-grid and off-grid applications and only use reliable tier 1 panels, inverters and batteries.
What size solar system do I need for my Sydney home?
That depends on your energy consumption, roof space, orientation and budget. Sydney homes with ducted air conditioning, electric heating or electric hot water tend to have higher year-round consumption than many people expect. Most homes install between 6.6 kW and 13.2 kW of panels, often paired with battery storage. Our team will assess your specific situation and recommend a system sized to your actual needs.
What solar rebates are available in NSW?
The federal Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) scheme reduces the upfront cost of your system, and the discount is applied at the point of sale so the price we quote already reflects it. On top of that, the NSW Government offers a $15,000 interest-free loan for eligible households to install solar and battery systems. First Sun Solar is an approved installer on the scheme.
What are Solar Feed-In Tariffs (FIT)?
Solar Feed-In Tariffs (FIT) are programs where homeowners or businesses are paid for the excess electricity their solar panels generate and feed back into the grid. The amount paid per kilowatt-hour (kWh) will depend on which energy retailer you use and what specific plan you are on.
Typically, you might receive anywhere from 5c-20c/kWh for providing energy back into the grid.
There are no longer any federal or state rebates for feed-in-tariffs, thus you will only receive what your energy retailer pays you.
Are solar panels worth it in Sydney?
Sydney gets fewer peak sun hours than Brisbane or the Gold Coast, but electricity prices are among the highest in the country, which means the financial return on solar is still strong. Most well-designed systems pay for themselves within four to seven years, and battery storage closes the gap further by reducing what you buy from the grid at peak evening rates.
