Why Go Solar in Northern Rivers?

The Northern Rivers region enjoys some of the best sun exposure in Australia, making it ideal for solar and battery systems. With over 2,500 hours of sunshine annually, it’s no surprise that more than 885,000 homes across NSW have already installed rooftop solar — and many are saving $1,500 to $2,000 per year on energy bills.

As power prices continue to climb, investing in solar and battery installation in Northern Rivers provides both immediate savings and long-term energy independence. When you combine generous government rebates, feed-in tariffs, and low-maintenance technology, it’s one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your home.

Every Northern Rivers property is different — and your solar system should be too. We design a custom setup that considers your roof size, daily energy habits, battery storage goals, and long-term lifestyle plans. The result? A future-ready solar & battery system that performs all year round.

Rebate & Grid Approval Paperwork – We Handle It All

From federal STCs to NSW battery rebates and grid connection approvals, we take care of every form, submission, and technical detail. Northern Rivers homeowners trust us to get it right the first time — so you can focus on the savings, not the admin.

Mr Phil

We had contacted several other local companies to discuss installing solar panels on our roof without success when we came across Local and Licensed. Communication from Callum was excellent from the get-go. The installation team led by Ben was punctual, polite, and informative, and left our site neat and tidy. Would recommend for any electrical work – large or small.

Cecily S

L&L put in a new panel to our house some years ago, and more recently debugged a problem with one of the circuits in the house. They were polite, professional and punctual. They came when they said they would, and completed the work for the amount they said they would. We will certainly use them again.

I will definitely be using Local and Licencsed again for all my future Electric & Air Conditioning needs. 11 out of 10, A+, 5 Stars !

Paul Caukill

I’ve used them multiple times for complex and unusual (from a domestic perspective) electrical work. What I like is that they arrive on time and don’t try to do any dodgy up-sells. Just come and do the job.

These guys are fantastic! Personable and genuine. They not only explained the problems and solutions in very easy to understand everyday language, but also shared some excellent advice about future works. They are timely and available, and showed excellent and efficient workmanship. On top of all of that, they did an amazing job cleaning up! So respectful, knowledgeable, and great to have around. I’m so glad we went with this company. Would recommend!

Gracie, Luke and Kelsey were amazing as well taking the calls and following up .

As soon as a appointment became available I got a call from Luke , he was wonderful .

All staff were so polite and professional.

I definitely recommend this company 10/10!

Great work to all and thank you for the wonderful work. Everything is working perfectly now abd better than before 🤩😃

Dalia Omar

I would highly recommend Local and Licensed Electrical for their services to anyone in need of electrical work. I have used them last December for a range hood installation and some light and switch repairs. This time it was an ongoing fault. Not related to the previous work.
The electrician, Peter arrived on time and quickly assessed the electrical issue that I was experiencing. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear and concise manner, which helped me understand the scope of the work that needed to be done.
He was very thorough in his work, and even took the time to re-straighten a light switch.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the service that I received from Peter and Local and Licensed, I would highly recommend them. The receptionist is nice too.

Bronwyn

From the initial contact I have found this was the only company that took the time to follow up my original enquires, despite an unforeseen situation on my behalf, that delayed the quotation and my acceptance. They kept in respectful touch from initial contact to after service support.
I also congratulate the efficiency of all contact staff from the first enquiry and subsequent calls to job completion.
Sam showed his excellent product knowledge when quoting repairs my somewhat neglected unit.
He is cheerful and very informative re the maintenance and care of the product, and had the work done efficiently in the time he quoted. He was also willingly prepared to go the extra mile by wiping a non related but old annoying stain off the wall next to the reverse cycle inside unit. ( thanks again Sam). He also kept in touch when necessary and able to answer all my questions on the reverse cycle air-conditioning Unit. It works so well, now.
Thank you Admin and Sam great job from start to finish

Cybele Spanjaard (Cyberchook)

Such a great experience dealing with Local & Licensed Electrical. Callum came and quoted on our job and also did a complimentary safety inspection which highlighted some concerns with our circuit breakers not being protected to current standards.

We had brand new LED downlights installed in our living areas and replaced some old halogen downlights to new LED also.

They fixed an issue with some light switches that weren’t wired correctly from a previous company and will be back to install all new powerpoints and switches.

Even did a full service on our air-conditioner.

The team were on time, prompt, professional, tidy and very respectful. Couldn’t have asked for a better job. I know all my future electrical work will be sent their way.

Anthony Azzopardi

Today Callum carried out electrical repair work at my home. It was all done in a timely and professional manner. It’s the 3rd time I’ve employed Local & Licenced as I know they will arrive at the designated time and do a great job.

Callum’s team took on a difficult and dirty job in the subfloor of my house. They moved an exhaust fan and relocated a power point. Now the appliance can easily be accessed should it be necessary in future. Ben worked hard in cramped circumstances to complete everything to my satisfaction and Nigel patiently answered my questions. This is the 2nd job I’ve engaged Local & Licensed for and it’s been another excellent experience.

Honest Solar & Battery Advice You Can Trust in Northern Rivers

If we sent you a quote, it’s because your home is genuinely a great fit for solar and/or battery storage. At Local and Licensed, we don’t believe in pushing systems where they won’t deliver value. In fact, we’ve walked away from jobs that weren’t a good fit — because earning your trust matters more than closing a sale.

We’ll always give you clear, honest recommendations — whether it means moving forward with a solar system or telling you it’s not the right time. That’s the kind of integrity Northern Rivers homeowners deserve.

Common Misconceptions About Solar

Absolutely. Even on cloudy or rainy days, solar panels continue to produce power — just at a slightly reduced rate. The Northern Rivers region receives consistent sunlight year-round, making it one of the best locations in NSW for reliable solar and battery performance.

If your home gets decent daytime exposure, solar is very likely to be worth it — especially when paired with battery storage to use power after the sun goes down.

Not anymore. With access to NSW solar rebates, ‘Pay As You Invest’ Options, and affordable solar + battery packages, many Northern Rivers households can get started with $0 upfront. The best part? Monthly savings often cover your repayments — meaning your system can pay for itself from day one.

Nope. Most modern solar panels are self-cleaning, especially with the regular rainfall we get in the Northern Rivers. They’re built to last and require very little upkeep. That said, we do offer optional maintenance plans and system performance checks — just in case you’d rather we keep an eye on things for you.

Not at all. Both federal STCs and NSW solar battery rebates are still available in 2025 — but they’re being phased out over time. That means the sooner you act, the more you can claim. We help Northern Rivers homeowners apply for every rebate and incentive they’re eligible for, before they expire.
