What We Do
Solar Services Northern Rivers
At 888 Solar Tek, we specialise in delivering cutting-edge solar and battery solutions tailored for homes, businesses, and off-grid living across the Northern Rivers and beyond. Our mission is to help you achieve energy independence, reduce electricity bills, and contribute to a sustainable future.
Grid Connect
Smart Energy Sharing
"Adding solar panels to your home is a smart first step toward energy independence. While feed-in tariffs are now lower than in the past, a grid connect solar system still slashes your daytime electricity costs, helping you take control of rising power bills.
The real opportunity now? Massive government rebates for battery storage. With a solar-ready system in place, you’ll be perfectly positioned to add a battery and store the power you generate—giving you more energy independence and even greater savings."
Off Grid Systems
Complete Energy Independence
Dreaming of a self-sufficient lifestyle? Our
off-grid solar systems provide reliable, standalone power solutions, perfect for remote locations or those seeking total independence from the electricity grid. With robust battery storage and efficient solar panels, you can enjoy uninterrupted power supply, even in the most isolated areas.
Hybrid
Flexibility & Control
Combine the benefits of solar power with battery storage and grid connectivity. Our hybrid systems offer the flexibility to use solar energy when available, store excess power for later use, and draw from the grid when necessary. This approach ensures optimal energy efficiency and cost savings.
Commercial
Powering Business Success
Elevate your business's sustainability and reduce operational costs with our commercial solar solutions. Tailored to meet the unique energy demands of your enterprise, our systems help you take control of your energy expenses while showcasing your commitment to environmental responsibility.
Battery Storage
The Smart Energy Solution
With the introduction of the federal government's Cheaper Home Batteries Program starting July 1, 2025, eligible households can receive a 30% rebate on the cost of a new battery system. This initiative makes battery storage more affordable than ever, allowing you to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night, reducing reliance on the grid and maximising your solar investment.
Maximize Savings with Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)
The Smart Energy Solution
From July 1, 2025, NSW residents can earn up to $1,500 by connecting their battery systems to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). VPPs aggregate multiple battery systems to provide energy back to the grid during peak demand, offering you additional income streams and contributing to grid stability. You can also access free power from the grid to charge your batteries every day!

Testimonials
What Our Customers Say About Our Solar Services
Just got installed! very happy with my new solar system. Every thing was smooth, the sales guys was very thorough and the design was installed exactly as i was shown without any issues. five stars because it feels great to have actually dealt with a company that does what it says it does.
Joanne F. - Goonellabah
Couldn't Be happier! Just had my new solar system installed with Solar Tek and the experience was great. We knew we had called the right people when they came out and delivered us with a detailed quote, they just knew thier stuff... unlike some of the others we had quotes from. The installation was smooth and all up and running within 3 weeks of signing up. I usually don't leave reviews but they left a lasting impression I thought others should know about. We were nervous to find a solar provider we could trust and who would really look after us as we knew very little about solar
Barry J. - Girards Hill
The team at 888 Solar Tek were fabulous. I was referred to them by a friend years ago, but decided to approach them in mid 2022 for an assessment on replacing our recalled LG batteries, and also to enlarge our Solar PV system to prepare for the arrival and charging of an Electric Vehicle. I also approached the installers of our original system. 888 Solar Tek came our streets ahead in price, system design, support and listening to our needs.
Needless to say, we went ahead with 888 Solar Tek and our system was partially replaced and significantly updated in November 2022.
We are extremely happy with how the system is operating a year on. We are on the land near Byron Bay and have several water pumps, septic pumps, a pool pump, 3 x A/C systems and EV charging. We use a lot of electricity!
Our last electricity bill which incorporated the Winter period and also EV charging was $14 for the quarter. Who can complain about that?
888 Solar Tek is highly recommended by us.
Mark G.- Myocum
Great Service, good price and really easy to deal with. the only draw back was essential energy took weeks to approve our grid application, but 888 solar tek always kept us up to date through the process
Joy S. - Ocean Shores
Good Company and Installation. I researched a lot about solar before I was ready to get any quotes. I found Solar Tek to be very knowledgeable, although on some points the sales guys didnt know as much as I had learnt he knew enough for me to make an informed choice. The installation was done really well. I check the wiring in the man hole and it all looks proper, the panels are symmetrical and there's no rail hanging out the side. The system is really generating a lot of power and I am getting the results I was promised. Hope this helps any one else considering them

Frequently Asked Questions
What size solar system do I need?
Most Australian homes install a 6.6kW system, which typically produces around 26 kWh on an average day and pairs with a 5kW inverter. Households with a pool, an EV, ducted air conditioning or a battery often step up to 10kW, which produces about 40 kWh a day. At your free on-site consultation, we work out the right size from your recent bills and your roof.
How long does Essential Energy take to approve my solar connection?
Essential Energy aims to respond to basic applications within 10 business days and standard ones within 15 to 20 business days. We lodge the application for you and keep you updated while it’s assessed. Essential Energy usually sets a fixed export limit of 5kW, which is the most your system can send back to the grid at once. It doesn’t limit how much solar you can install to power your own home, and a 6.6kW array on a 5kW inverter sits within it.
What size solar battery do I need?
What size solar battery do I need?
Most homes suit a battery of 10 to 13.5 kWh, because it only needs to cover the hours after the sun goes down. A typical household uses 40 to 50 per cent of its electricity after 5pm, so a home using 20 kWh a day needs roughly 8 to 10 kWh overnight. A 6.6kW system usually has enough surplus to refill a 10 kWh battery most days. We size yours from your actual usage.
Can I get the battery rebate on an off-grid system?
Yes, off-grid homes can claim the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount, and off-grid batteries don’t need to be capable of joining a Virtual Power Plant the way grid-connected ones do. Generally, the property needs to be at least 1km from a grid line or face a grid connection cost above $30,000. The discount is stepping down over time, so ask us for the current amount when we quote.
How long do solar batteries last?
Quality home batteries typically last 10 to 15 years, and most major brands back them with a 10 year warranty. Most are lithium iron phosphate, rated for 6,000 to 10,000 charge cycles, and many warranties guarantee at least 70% of original capacity at year 10. Solar panels usually outlast batteries, at 25 to 30 years.
