Our Byron Bay Process
A Byron Bay job starts with where your property sits, and the steps follow from there.
- Free On-Site Consultation: Beachside, town or hinterland, every site is different. We visit your property and note how close you are to the coast, how far you are from the grid and what’s already on your roof.
- Plan What Stays On: Adding a battery? We agree which circuits keep running in an outage, such as the fridge, lights and pumps, before the quote is finalised.
- Written Quote: Your quote sets out the system, the price and the rebates that apply.
- Essential Energy Connection Offer: We lodge the application. Essential Energy replies with a connection offer that states your export limit, and we keep you updated while you wait.
- Installation Day: Licensed electricians install the system, and your compliance certificate is lodged within seven days.
- Monitoring Handover: We set up your monitoring app and show you how to read it. Ring the office whenever you need help, free of charge.
What We Do
Solar Services Byron Bay
At 888 Solar Tek, we help homeowners and businesses in Byron Bay and beyond take control of their energy with advanced solar and battery solutions. Whether you're looking to power your home, reduce business energy costs or embrace off-grid living, we provide tailored systems that lower electricity bills, increase energy independence and support a more sustainable future.
Grid Connect Solar
Keeping it Simple
Most Byron Bay rooftops don’t need council approval, though heritage-listed homes differ. Essential Energy usually caps exports at 5kW, so we size your system around what you use, cutting daytime bills.
Off-Grid Solar
Great Escape
Hinterland properties around Byron Bay often sit beyond the grid. Our off grid systems run pumps, cooling and everything else on solar and batteries.
Hybrid Solar
Perfect Power Solution
Byron’s storm season can mean long outages. A hybrid system pairs solar with a battery, keeping essentials like your fridge and lights running when the grid drops and cutting evening bills with stored power.
Commercial Solar
Increase Profits
Byron Bay businesses, from Arts and Industry Estate workshops to cafes and accommodation, can generate their own power and cut running costs. We design commercial systems around your trading hours and demand charges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council approval for solar in Byron Shire?
Usually no. Most rooftop solar in Byron Shire is exempt development, except on some heritage land. Heritage-listed homes can add systems under 10kW if the panels don’t face the street.
Does salt air damage solar systems near Byron Bay?
Yes, it can corrode mounting hardware and inverters over time. Coastal systems need panels tested to the IEC 61701 salt mist standard and corrosion-resistant fixings.
Will my solar keep working in a Byron Bay blackout?
Not without a battery. Standard grid-connected systems shut down in a blackout, even in full sun. A battery with backup circuits keeps chosen essentials running, and your panels can recharge it.
Can I add a battery to my existing Byron Bay solar system?
Yes. The federal battery discount covers batteries added to existing rooftop solar, if your system meets eligibility and safety requirements. We check your inverter, panels and switchboard first.
Should I wait for a Byron Shire community battery?
No. Council’s community batteries are still being investigated and are planned for council buildings, not homes. A home battery is the only option that protects your own property.
