Solar, batteries and EV chargers for Horsley, Avondale, Wongawilli and Huntley. Built up against the escarpment and higher than the plain below it, which makes how the array is fixed to your roof a real engineering question rather than a line item.
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 2530 taken off. What your home actually costs depends on your roof, switchboard and connection — we confirm it in writing after a free assessment.
Just right for most family homes

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 September 2026. STC figures use postcode 2530, 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.
An array is a large flat surface bolted to your roof for twenty-five years. How hard the wind pushes on it depends on where the house sits, how high it is and how sheltered the surrounding terrain is — which is why the same system is not fixed down the same way everywhere.
Mounting is designed for the wind region and terrain category of your address, using the racking manufacturer's own engineering — not a single layout applied everywhere.
On an exposed roof that usually means rails closer together, more roof attachments and shorter overhangs at the ends of each row.
Where an array fails in a storm it is almost always the connection to the roof, not the panel. That is an installation decision, so it is where the money belongs.
Ask what wind region and terrain category the mounting was designed for, and how many roof attachments your layout uses. Both come straight out of the racking software, so anyone doing the job properly answers immediately. A quote identical to one written for a sheltered block inland has not accounted for your site — and on this side of the postcode, that is the difference that shows up in a decade rather than on install day.
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.
The other thing this postcode does to hardware is corrosion: Lake Illawarra is salt water, and fasteners live outdoors for the life of the system. Our Dapto page covers what that means for metal grades and pairings, along with the escarpment’s effect on winter afternoons and an honest note on how local our generation figures actually are.
Solar in DaptoHome 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 — and how exposed the site is, because on this side of the postcode that decides the mounting design rather than being an afterthought.
A quote with the panel layout, inverter and every extra itemised, including the rail spacing and fixing count the site actually needs.
We lodge your grid-connection application and confirm any export limit before install day.
CEC-accredited electricians install, test and commission the system, then clean up.
Your retailer updates the meter and we set up monitoring so you can see every kWh.
Every install below is a real Kratos job, with the suburb and month it was completed. As we finish work around Horsley, those projects will appear here too.
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.

“I'd like to thank Nessar and my neighbour Hasan for doing a wonderful job organising the installation of solar panels on my house. Wei and his team worked incredibly hard, especially since my home is double-storey, making the installation quite challenging. They spent the entire day ensuring everything was completed correctly. I'm very happy with the service.”
“Loved the service and the quality of the products provided. The analysis and recommendations before installation were extremely helpful. Highly recommended.”
We install across Illawarra and the wider NSW service area, including Avondale, Wongawilli, Huntley.
