Solar, batteries and EV chargers for Gosford, East Gosford, West Gosford, North Gosford, Point Clare, Narara, Wyoming, Niagara Park and Kariong — the whole 2250 postcode. A good deal of housing around Gosford dates from an era when asbestos cement sheeting was ordinary building material, and mounting an array means drilling the roof. That makes the first question here what your roof is made of, and it is a question some quotes are careful not to ask.
These are estimated starting prices, not fixed quotes. Each package starts from the figure shown for a straightforward installation and already has the federal STC discount for postcode 2250 taken off. What your home actually costs depends on your roof, switchboard and connection — we confirm it in writing after a free assessment.

Anything that applies to your home is itemised in your written quote before you commit to it.
Prices start from the figures above, fully installed net payable after the federal STC rebate and including GST for metro areas (regional areas subject to freight and travel costs; T&Cs apply). Checked October 2026. STC figures use postcode 2250, 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.
This is the one subject in rooftop solar where the correct answer costs us the sale, so it rarely gets written down. Asbestos cement sheeting was ordinary building material in Australian housing until it was phased out around the late 1980s, and plenty of it is still doing its job on roofs and eaves around this postcode. Left alone it is not the problem. A solar install does not leave it alone.
Every roof-mounted array is fixed through the roof. Drilling bonded asbestos cement is precisely the activity that releases fibres from material that is otherwise stable and harmless, which is why disturbance rather than presence is what the rules are written about.
In NSW, removing more than ten square metres of non-friable asbestos requires a licensed asbestos removalist, and SafeWork NSW recommends using a licensed professional for any amount at all. There is no version of this where a solar crew drilling your roof is the right arrangement.
Replace the roof first through a licensed removalist and install afterwards — usually the right order anyway on a roof that old. Put the array on a garage, shed or carport with a metal roof, feeding the same meter. Or ground-mount it if you have the land. We will quote any of the three, and we will tell you which one we would pick.
Ask what the roof sheeting is, and what they intend to fix into. An installer who has actually assessed the property will answer immediately. One who has not looked, or who offers to be careful and work around it, is proposing exactly the thing the rules exist to prevent — and the consequences of that stay in your roof space long after the crew has driven away. Two other things worth knowing. Do not cut, sand or drill a sample to find out what you have; a licensed assessor can confirm it properly and that is the only sensible route. And remember the eaves and wall sheeting, not just the roof, because cable runs and switchboard work pass through them. If this rules your house out for now, we would rather tell you that than take a deposit.
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.
Asbestos is the hard stop, but it is not the only reason the roof deserves a thought before a twenty-five year system goes on top of it. A roof with ten years left under an array with twenty-five is a problem you have simply postponed, and paid to remove and refit. Our St Clair page works through roof age against system life, and keeps the three warranties separate while it does it.
Roof age, system life and the three warrantiesHome 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. Battery prices start from $4,290 fully installed after rebates (incl. GST for metro areas; regional areas subject to freight and travel costs). Already have solar? We check your inverter first — some systems take a battery as they are, others need a hybrid inverter.
Estimated federal rebate on 13.5 kWh of usable storage
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.
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.
We review your roof, shading, switchboard and a recent bill. On an older house the first question is what the roof is actually made of, because that decides whether there is a job here at all.

We lodge your grid-connection application and confirm any export limit before install day.
Accredited electricians install, test and commission the system, then clean up. You are told who is coming.
Your retailer updates the meter, we set up monitoring, and you get the compliance paperwork rather than being told it is in the post.

Kratos Energy’s 5 MW solar project in South Australia showcases renewable energy infrastructure at scale. Featuring ground-mounted solar arrays and dedicated electrical infrastructure, the project forms part of our commitment to developing large-scale solar opportunities across Australia. The project photographs offer a closer look at the installation—from rows of solar panels to the supporting structures, cabling and electrical equipment behind the system. Project at a Glance Project detail Overview Location South Australia Capacity 5 MW Project category Large-scale solar Installation type Ground-mounted solar photovoltaic system Featured infrastructure Solar arrays, mounting structures, electrical equipment and control panels A Closer Look at the Solar Installation The site features rows of elevated solar panels arranged across open land, with access routes between sections of the installation. Ground-mounted systems allow the array layout to be planned around the site’s terrain, available space and maintenance requirements. The photographs also show the underside of the arrays, including structural supports and cable routing. These less-visible components are an essential part of a solar installation, alongside the panels themselves. Dedicated electrical enclosures and control equipment highlight the infrastructure required to support a project of this scale. Together, the images provide a practical view of the engineering involved in a large-scale solar site. Large-Scale Solar Expertise A solar farm requires coordination across site assessment, engineering, equipment selection, construction and network requirements. Kratos Energy’s large-scale solar services cover solar farm development, engineering and construction support, grid connection coordination, and operational support. We work with landowners, investors and commercial partners to assess opportunities and progress renewable energy projects.
