Charlie Sparks installs solar across the Inner West every week, from Ashfield through to Balmain and down to Marrickville and Tempe.
Inner West roofs are a different beast to new estates: slate and terracotta tiles, heritage conservation areas (Haberfield is heritage-listed practically street to street), tight terrace access, and Inner West Council’s own requirements around visible panels. We navigate all of it regularly, so your install runs smoothly instead of stalling on approvals or surprises on the day.
And because we are local, we are still here when you need a service call, a warranty claim, or a battery added down the track.
Power prices across Sydney keep marching upward, and Inner West households on time-of-use tariffs feel it hardest in the evening peak. Solar wipes out your daytime grid draw, and a battery shifts your free power into those expensive evening hours.
The federal STC incentive knocks thousands off the upfront cost and is deducted directly from your quote. NSW battery incentives can stack on top, and we handle all the eligibility checks and paperwork so nothing is left unclaimed.
Your own generation shields you from retailer price rises and network charges you cannot control. Add a battery and you also get backup power for essentials during outages, useful in older parts of the Ausgrid network where storms still knock things about.
The Inner West community takes sustainability seriously, and rooftop solar is the most effective contribution a household can make. Every unit of power from your own roof is one less pulled from fossil fuel generation.
We’ve kept the process straightforward, with no high-pressure sales calls or surprise charges along the way.
Our teams are in the Inner West constantly, so a fault or monitoring dropout gets sorted in days, not weeks. You are dealing with a local operation that answers the phone, not a call centre interstate.
All our installers hold current Clean Energy Council accreditation, mandatory for STC rebate eligibility, and every system is installed to AS/NZS 5033 and AS/NZS 4777 with proper isolation, labelling, and handover documentation.
Slate roofs in Stanmore, heritage streetscapes in Haberfield, skillion additions in Marrickville, we have worked on them all. We know which mounting systems protect old tiles, how to run cable through double-brick walls, and what Inner West Council expects when panels face the street.
Every electrician we send out is fully NSW-licensed and our solar installers hold current CEC accreditation. Complete public liability and workers compensation cover applies on every job from the moment we arrive.
We install equipment with a proven Australian track record: Tier 1 panels backed by local support offices, and inverters from Fronius, Sungrow, SolarEdge, and GoodWe. No obscure imports that leave you stranded when a warranty claim comes up.
Our quotes are scoped properly the first time, switchboard condition, roof access, and tile handling are all checked before we price the job. You will never cop a surprise extra on installation day.
We do the job the way tradespeople used to: straight conduit, torqued and labelled connections, a swept site, and a walkthrough before we go. Call us six months later with a question and you will get an answer, not voicemail purgatory.

Most Inner West homes are done in a single day. Terraces with laneway-only access, slate roofs needing extra care, or commercial projects can stretch to two or three days, and your quote will state the timeframe clearly upfront.
Roof space is often the deciding factor in the Inner West. Terraces and semis typically suit 5 to 6.6kW using high-efficiency panels, while freestanding federation homes and commercial roofs can go 10kW and beyond. We size from your actual bills rather than a sales target.
They are. Current Clean Energy Council accreditation is held by every installer on our team, it is what makes your system eligible for the federal STC rebate and compliant with Australian standards.
Yes, and you will never see the paperwork. The STC rebate comes off your quoted price before you pay a cent, and we lodge the assignment forms on your behalf as part of every job.
Expect a 25-year performance warranty and a 10 to 15 year product warranty on Tier 1 panels, and 5 to 10 years on inverters depending on the brand, with extensions often available. Our own workmanship warranty covers the installation on top of that.
