Solar, batteries and EV chargers for Warners Bay, Eleebana, Lakelands, Speers Point and Valentine — the whole 2282 postcode. Around Warners Bay, Eleebana, Lakelands and Valentine, the typical job is a larger two-storey family home running ducted air conditioning, a pool pump and often an EV or teenage household peaking every evening. A generic 6.6kW quote often leaves those homes still buying expensive evening grid power.
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 2282 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 2282, 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.
A 6.6kW system generates roughly 26 kWh a day averaged over the year. That is plenty for a modest three-bedroom house, but in Warners Bay, Eleebana and Lakelands a single-speed pool pump (8.8 kWh/day) and ducted air conditioning (10–15 kWh on a warm afternoon) can swallow almost all of it before dinner is cooked.
Many homes sloping down toward the eastern shore of Lake Macquarie have strong west or north-west roof planes facing the water. Putting part of the array on the western face extends generation past 4pm when the air conditioner is working hardest.
Moving pool filtration and heat-pump hot water onto a 10am–3pm timer uses your own solar directly instead of exporting it for a few cents and buying it back at night.
Since 1 May 2026, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate pays its full per-kWh rate on the first 14 kWh of usable capacity, making a 10kWh to 13.5kWh battery the sweet spot for covering evening cooking and aircon.
Two homes in Warners Bay can have the same $750 quarterly bill for completely different reasons: one runs a pool pump and home office during daylight, and the other is empty until 5:30pm and runs ducted heating and cooling all evening. The first home saves immediately with panels alone; the second needs either western panels and load timers or a battery. Use our appliance system builder to test your actual load before choosing between 6.6kW, 10kW and 13.2kW.
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.
Before picking between a 6.6kW and a 10kW array, check how many kilowatt-hours your pool pump and ducted air conditioner consume each day — and how much drops off your bill simply by moving the pool timer into midday solar.
Pool pump running costs and solar timer guideHome 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 look at your daytime and evening usage — pool filtration, ducted AC, hot water and EV plans — alongside your roof planes.
Clear pricing for 6.6kW, 10kW or 13.2kW solar, with optional battery storage and the federal rebates itemised.
We lodge the connection application with the distribution network and confirm your export limit.
Accredited electricians complete the two-storey or single-storey install with full fall protection and neat conduit work.
We set up your monitoring app and show you which daytime hours to schedule your pool pump and heat pump.
Every install below is a real Kratos job, with the suburb and month it was completed. As we finish work around Warners Bay, 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 installed a 10.13kW solar system and am extremely happy with the product (Sungrow inverter and Trina panels) as well as the price. Mr. Nessar, CEO of Kratos Energy, is dependable and true to his word. He provided detailed information, a competitive quotation, and completed the installation within a week. The electricians were highly professional and took great care with my roof tiles.”
“Kratos Energy arranged my solar battery installation, and the entire process went very smoothly. I was kept informed every step of the way. Logan from LJ Electrical arrived on time and completed an excellent installation. He explained everything clearly and even helped me install the monitoring app before leaving.”
We install across Lake Macquarie and the wider NSW service area, including Eleebana, Lakelands, Speers Point, Valentine.
