Solar panels and batteries for Kempsey and the Macleay Valley

What we do
Home solar, batteries, commercial and off-grid systems, designed by us and installed by local install teams.
Solar panels
A system sized for your roof, your bills and your budget, so you use more of your own power during the day.

Solar batteries
Keep your spare daytime solar for the evening instead of sending it back to the grid for a few cents. Systems set up for backup can keep the lights on in a blackout.

Commercial solar
Solar and battery systems for businesses, farms, schools and community sites. We look after the design, rebates, install and ongoing support.

Off-grid solar
Stand-alone solar and battery systems for homes, sheds and properties out of reach of the grid, built to keep running day and night.

- Free, with no obligation
- Reviewed by an SAA-accredited designer
- Tailored to your home and energy needs
Brands we trust
We mostly install Sungrow, Trina and Deye: proven gear we know well and can back up locally. We can also supply SMA, Fronius, Tindo, Tesla, Jinko, LONGi and BYD if you’d prefer one of those.
Help with the cost
A battery is a bigger spend, so it’s worth knowing what help is out there.
- Solar and battery rebates: Because we’re SAA accredited, we can apply the solar and battery rebates for you on eligible systems and take them off your price, so you’ll see them on your quote. The rebate is scheduled to reduce from 1 January 2027, so we’ll show you the current amount for your system when we quote.
- NSW Home Energy Saver loan: We’re an approved supplier with Brighte and Plenti. Eligible households may be able to borrow up to $15,000 at 0% interest to spread the cost. The loan is for households only, and the lender decides on approval. See the NSW Government’s Home Energy Saver loan page.
Eligibility criteria apply. We’ll check what you may be eligible for and set it out clearly on your quote.
Local to the Macleay Valley
We live here too. When you call, you’ll talk to someone local who knows the area, not a call centre, and the people quoting your job are the same team installing it.
- Based in South Kempsey
- Local licensed electricians
- Owner Andy Colban is SAA accredited for grid-connect and stand-alone (off-grid) design and install

What locals say
Real reviews from our customers on Google.
“South Kempsey Solar were great to work with. They designed a solar and battery system that suited our school's specific needs and made the whole process really straightforward. The team were friendly, professional, and worked around our schedule to get everything done with minimal fuss. We're already seeing the benefits in our energy savings. Would definitely recommend them to other schools, organisations or home owners looking to go solar!”
Adrian McManus, Campus Manager, Kempsey Adventist College
“We've had the pleasure of working with South Kempsey Solar for two separate solar installations across our business office locations, and we couldn't be more impressed with the service and results. From the initial consultation through to the final installation, their team has demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise. Communication throughout both projects was clear, timely, and proactive — we always felt informed and confident in the process. The quality of workmanship is exceptional, with every detail completed to a high standard. Both installations were delivered on schedule and with minimal disruption to our daily operations. We would highly recommend South Kempsey Solar to any business or homeowner looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy solar provider.”
Alison Koivu, Administrative Secretary, Team Spirit Sports, South Kempsey
