Solar panels in Figtree
Solar, batteries and EV chargers across Figtree 2525, from the streets by the highway to Figtree Heights. Homes on a hillside rarely have one big north-facing roof, so this page is about splitting an array across several faces, and how to tell whether a quote has done it properly.
- 6.6kW systems estimated from about $3,990 after the STC discount
- Each roof face on its own inverter tracker
- Quotes that show panels per face, not just a total

Estimates only, including GST, checked October 2026. STC figures use postcode 2525, 2026 deeming and an assumed $38 per certificate — the discount you receive depends on the certificate market on your installation date. Savings are modelled on typical usage and tariffs and are not a guarantee.
Split roofs
Solar across more than one roof face in Figtree
A hip roof on a sloping block gives you two or three usable faces rather than one. That is fine for solar. It just needs a layout and an inverter chosen for it, and it is where two quotes for the same system size often stop being the same.
One tracker per face
Panels facing different ways see different sun. Each face needs its own inverter input, or the weakest face sets the pace for all of them.
East and west work
Less output at noon than north-facing panels, but an earlier start and a later finish. More of it lands when the house is using power.
Shade on one face
A tree or a neighbour's second storey shading part of the array is the case for optimisers or microinverters. On a clear roof they are rarely worth it.
Read the quote by roof face
Two quotes can both say 6.6kW and describe very different systems. Ask each installer for the number of panels on each face, which inverter tracker each face connects to, and the inverter's model. If a quote cannot answer those, ask whether anyone measured the roof.
Network rules change and every connection is approved on its own merits — we confirm the limit that applies to your address in writing before install day.
Batteries
Adding a battery in Figtree
Home batteries attract two separate incentives. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes an estimated $3,402 off a 13.5 kWh battery, and NSW’s NSW VPP connection incentive (battery via federal program) can add more on top. Already have solar? We check your inverter first — some systems take a battery as they are, others need a hybrid inverter.
≈ $3,402
Estimated federal rebate on 13.5 kWh of usable storage
+ NSW
NSW virtual power plant (VPP) incentive when you connect an eligible battery to a VPP, on top of the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount. The NSW upfront battery discount ended for installs from 1 July 2025.
Planning an EV?
Size your solar for it now. Our 10kW package comes pre-wired for a battery and an EV charger, so adding one later is a small job rather than a rebuild.
From quote to switch-on
How a Figtree install works
- Step 1
Free assessment
We measure each roof face, note which way it points and what shades it, and look at the switchboard and a recent bill. On a split roof the layout is decided here, not on the day.
- Step 2
Written quote
A quote showing how many panels go on each face, which inverter input each face connects to, and the panel and inverter models. Every extra is itemised.
- Step 3
Network approval
We lodge your grid-connection application and confirm any export limit before install day.
- Step 4
Installation
CEC-accredited electricians install, test and commission the system, checking each string separately, then clean up.
- Step 5
Switch-on
Your retailer updates the meter and we set up monitoring. On a split array you can see each face's output, so a problem on one is easy to spot.
