Types of Systems We Install

Solar isn't one-size-fits-all, and the right setup depends on how you use power and what you want out of the system. At Peter Gow Electrical, we install grid-connected, hybrid and off-grid solar systems across Lismore and the wider Northern Rivers. Grid-connected systems are the most common choice for homes and businesses in Lismore. They feed excess power back into the grid and draw from it when your panels aren't generating enough, keeping upfront costs lower while still cutting your bills. Hybrid systems pair solar panels with a battery, so you store surplus energy for use at night or during an outage while staying connected to the grid as a backup. It's a popular option for households wanting more control over rising power costs. Off-grid solar systems disconnect entirely from the grid, relying on battery storage to power your property around the clock. These suit rural properties on the outskirts of Lismore where grid connection isn't practical or available. We'll talk you through each option, what it costs to run day to day, and which one actually fits your property, rather than pushing a single solution.

Choosing the Right System Size

The right system size comes down to your roof space, household size and how much power you use, not a generic chart. A 6.6kW system suits many average households, while a 10kW system is better matched to larger homes, families with higher daytime usage, or properties running pool pumps, air conditioning or electric vehicle chargers. Business and residential properties also have different needs. A home with a small roof footprint might be limited to a smaller array regardless of usage, while a commercial site with more roof space and higher consumption can justify a larger system to make the most of that space. Rather than guessing at size from a table, we assess your actual usage, your roof orientation and shading, and your future plans, like adding a pool or an EV, before recommending a system. Getting the size right the first time means you're not paying for capacity you don't need or, worse, outgrowing your system within a couple of years. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote and we'll work out the right system size for your property.

Our Installation Process

We keep the process straightforward from first enquiry to switch-on. It starts with a site assessment, where we look at your roof condition, orientation and shading, and talk through your current and future power needs.

From there, we design a system tailored to your property and provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs. Once you're happy to proceed, we handle the paperwork, including grid connection approval, so you don't have to chase it yourself. Installation itself is carried out by our qualified, licensed electricians, with panels mounted, wiring run and the inverter connected to Australian safety standards. We test the full system before handover and walk you through how it operates, including any monitoring app or battery controls. Once you're up and running, we're on hand for ongoing maintenance and cleaning to keep the system performing at its best for years to come.

Solar Rebates & Incentives (NSW)

Rebates and incentives can make a real difference to the upfront cost of going solar, and depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for support through current NSW and federal schemes. Eligibility varies based on factors like your system size, household situation and the rules in place at the time, so figures and thresholds can change.



Rather than relying on outdated numbers, we recommend checking your eligibility directly with us. We'll factor any current rebates or incentives into your quote so you know exactly what you're paying, and what support might apply to your situation. Enquire today to find out what rebates and incentives you may be eligible for.
