PROBEC designs, supplies and installs solar panel systems for homes and businesses in Wollongong, backed by SAA-accredited installers and straightforward advice from your initial consultation through to installation.
Wollongong sits between the ocean and the escarpment: a spectacular setting, and a great one for solar. As power prices rise across the Illawarra, more Gong households and businesses are turning their roofs into their own power stations to take control of their bills.
PROBEC Solar designs and installs solar panel systems throughout Wollongong and the wider Illawarra, from Fairy Meadow and Corrimal down to Figtree, Dapto and Shellharbour. We tailor every system to your roof, your energy use and the specific conditions of your street.
Because the Illawarra’s landscape can affect how much sun a roof gets, our accredited solar installers in Wollongong pay close attention to orientation and shading, so your system performs to its full potential.
We proudly serve Wollongong and the surrounding area, including Fairy Meadow, Corrimal, Figtree, Dapto, Shellharbour and Port Kembla.
Solar is winning over more households and businesses in Wollongong every year. Here’s why it makes sense locally:
Wollongong gets strong morning and midday sun, but the escarpment that hugs the western side of the city is a genuine local factor: homes in the foothills at Figtree, Mount Keira and Mount Ousley can lose late-afternoon sun earlier than a flat coastal block. That makes correct panel orientation and a proper shading analysis more important here than in many other regions. Coastal suburbs also need salt-resistant mounting.
Solar cuts carbon emissions and reduces reliance on fossil fuels, a practical way to power your home or business while contributing to a cleaner Wollongong and a healthier planet.
With grid prices climbing year after year, generating your own power sharply reduces what you draw from the grid. Those savings compound over the system’s 25-plus-year life.
Federal and NSW incentives, plus interest-free financing options, cut the upfront cost and shorten the payback period.
The ideal setup isn’t one-size-fits-all. It depends on your energy use and your property.
The size of your solar system, measured in kilowatts (kW), directly determines how much power it produces. Too small and it won’t cover your needs; too large and you may not get the best financial return. We analyse your recent electricity bills to recommend a size that matches your consumption:
Even the best system underperforms if it’s installed at the wrong angle or in the shade. Getting tilt, direction and shading right is critical.
On the coastal flats, a north-facing array works beautifully. In the escarpment foothills, we tilt or orient panels to capture the strong morning and midday sun before the ridge line shortens the afternoon, and we always run a shading study before we quote. Near the water at Wollongong, Corrimal and Port Kembla, we use corrosion-resistant racking.
System sizes, panel brands and technical specs can be overwhelming. That’s where accredited local installers earn their keep. PROBEC Solar is the top-rated authorised solar installation company serving Wollongong. We assess your property, analyse your usage, and recommend the right solution for your goals. You can see our flagship solar panels Sydney offerings for the full range.

At PROBEC Solar we believe in clear, competitive pricing with no surprises. Every Wollongong installation is designed for long-term value, with the federal STC discount and financing options making the switch easier.
The price of a solar system depends on its size, the panels and inverter you choose, your roof type and any extras such as a battery. For an accurate figure, speak with our consultants for a personalised quote rather than relying on a generic online average.
System size | Typical daily output | Best suited to |
6.6 kW | ~26 kWh | Mid-sized homes |
10 kW | ~40 kWh | Larger homes, high daytime use |
13.3 kW | ~53 kWh | Very large homes / small business |
Cheapest isn’t best. Poor installation shortens a system’s life and reduces efficiency. We prioritise quality products and expert workmanship so your system performs for decades, backed by warranties on both panels and installation.
Switching to solar in Wollongong is more affordable than many people realise, thanks to a stack of federal and NSW incentives (accurate as of 2026):
01
Under the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, your system earns Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that are applied as an upfront, point-of-sale discount, worth around $1,700–$1,800 off a 6.6 kW system. Components must be Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved and installed by an accredited professional.
02
If you add a battery, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discounts roughly 30% off the upfront cost of eligible batteries (5–100 kWh), also applied at the point of sale. From 1 May 2026, the discount tapers over time and is tiered for larger batteries, so timing matters. Learn more on our battery options page.
03
The old standalone NSW battery rebate has been folded into the federal program, but NSW still offers a one-off incentive (worth up to roughly $1,500) for connecting an eligible battery to an approved Virtual Power Plant. Eligible NSW households and landlords can also access interest-free loans of up to $15,000 for solar and batteries under the NSW Home Energy Saver Program.
04
Wollongong and the Illawarra are on the Endeavour Energy distribution network. Your federal STC discount is applied to the price up front, and your retailer pays a feed-in tariff for exported power. We handle the Endeavour connection approvals so your system is compliant and earning from the start. Over time, the combination of self-consumption, feed-in credits and rebates makes a noticeable difference to your bottom line.
Cutting corners on installation leads to reduced efficiency, potential electrical issues and a longer payback period. Trusting qualified, SAA-accredited installers is the single best way to protect your investment.
At PROBEC Solar, we provide warranties not only on your panels and inverter, but on our installation workmanship, which means genuine peace of mind and long-term local support.
Choosing SAA-accredited installers means your system is installed to the highest safety and performance standards. Our team is fully certified, so every Wollongong project meets strict Australian guidelines.
PROBEC Australia is an Approved Seller under the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC), building strong trust with valued customers. A 5-year warranty on the complete system is offered free of cost as part of the NETCC code. It means that if the manufacturer defaults within 5 years, PROBEC Australia will be responsible for the warranty claim.
We use panels, inverters and batteries that are CEC-approved and backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranties. Get quality and durability with every installation.
Every property is different, so we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. We analyse your energy use and design a system around your goals for maximum efficiency and savings.
Clear quotes with no hidden extras, plus rebates, loans and feed-in tariffs that make renewable energy genuinely affordable.
Our support doesn’t stop at installation. We’re here for consultation, monitoring advice and ongoing help for years to come.

A 6.6 kW system costs around $4,500–$6,500 after the federal STC discount, with larger systems costing more. A shading assessment ensures you don’t pay for panels the escarpment will shade out.
Yes. Even with the escarpment, a well-oriented Illawarra system pays for itself in about 3–5 years thanks to strong morning and midday sun.
It can. Homes in the foothills may lose late-afternoon sun, which is why we run a shading analysis and optimise orientation before quoting, something a spun ‘one-size’ quote won’t do.
Wollongong and the Illawarra are on the Endeavour Energy network. We manage all connection and metering paperwork.
We install across the Illawarra: Fairy Meadow, Corrimal, Figtree, Dapto, Shellharbour, Port Kembla and surrounds.
A typical house install is wrapped up in a day or two. Commercial jobs are different; they can run longer, and it really depends on how big the system is and how much complexity is involved.
Yes. Many customers start with panels and add a home battery later to store energy for evenings and blackouts. Our systems are designed to be battery-ready.
Good panels are built to last 25 years or more, which isn’t unusual. The inverter is the one part that tends to wear out sooner, around the 10‑ to 15‑year mark. That’s normal, and the warranties are there to back you up when that time comes.
