Solar and battery installation in Parramatta and surrounds
Set Energy installs rooftop solar, battery storage and commercial energy systems across Parramatta, Harris Park, Westmead, Northmead, Rydalmere and Granville.
Designing for Parramatta
Older tile roofs and newer townhouses. Both push the design toward fewer, higher-wattage panels.
Parramatta mixes older tile-roofed housing with newer townhouse developments and a growing commercial core on three-phase supply, on the Endeavour Energy network.
- Tile roofs take longer and cost more to install on, so fewer, higher-wattage panels are often the better choice.
- Townhouses and duplexes bring smaller, more segmented roofs, where panel selection and string design decide whether a worthwhile array fits at all.

Export limits in this area
Endeavour Energy sets your export limit. Not your installer, and not your retailer.
- Single-phase homes are typically capped well below three-phase ones.
- Conditions on your street can lower the allowance further.
- Our standard process is to lodge the application before you pay a deposit, so the approved figure is known rather than assumed.
The full picture is in NSW export limits and DNSP connection rules.
What we install here
- Rooftop solar, designed to the roof and the load, not to a package.
- Home battery storage, sized from interval data, with federal and NSW incentives assessed for eligibility and shown as separate line items.
- Hybrid systems and backup circuits.
- EV charger installation with a supply capacity assessment. Standard installs can be ordered online.
- Commercial solar and battery systems.
Incentives available here
Solar certificates and both battery incentives apply in this area.
- All of NSW sits in solar Zone 3, with a zone rating of 1.382.
- The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program and the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme battery incentive can be claimed on the same installation.
- The state incentive is created by an IPART-accredited certificate provider. We are not an ACP ourselves and work with one, so PDRS can be claimed on jobs we install.

Common questions
Do you install solar and batteries in Parramatta?
Yes. Parramatta is within our core service area, covering Parramatta, Harris Park, Westmead, Northmead, Rydalmere and Granville. We hold NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 467699C.
Which electricity network covers Parramatta?
Endeavour Energy.
Your distributor determines your export limit and handles the connection approval for your system — it is separate from your electricity retailer, and it is named on your bill.
How do I know what export limit I will get?
It is determined by a pre-approval application lodged with your distributor before installation, and it depends on whether your property is single or three phase as well as local network conditions on your street.
We lodge that application before you commit.
Do you do commercial work in this area?
Yes — commercial rooftop solar, battery systems for demand management and trade supply, alongside residential work.
Does a tile roof cost more for solar?
Yes. Tile takes longer to work on than tin, needs different roof fittings and carries a risk of broken tiles, so the install costs more. It is also why fewer, higher-wattage panels are often the better choice on a tile roof.
Can townhouses get solar?
Usually, subject to roof area and — where there is a strata scheme — the by-laws. Smaller segmented roofs favour higher-wattage panels and careful string design. Where the property is strata-titled, approval sits with the owners corporation, and we scope that early.
