Solar and batteries in Campbelltown
Campbelltown is close to our Gregory Hills address. We install solar and home batteries for Campbelltown homes and businesses, and size each system from the household's bills and the roof it's going on.
The homes we see in Campbelltown
Much of Campbelltown was built out from the 1970s through to the 1990s, so a lot of the houses we're asked about are single and double-storey brick homes with concrete or terracotta tile roofs, in suburbs such as Ambarvale, Rosemeadow, Eagle Vale, Blair Athol, Leumeah and Minto. Newer estates sit alongside them, and there are larger semi-rural blocks on the edge of the council area, in places like Varroville and Kentlyn.
| Type of place | What we usually check first |
|---|---|
| 1970s to 1990s brick and tile | Tile condition, hip roof layouts that split the panels across two or three faces, an older switchboard, and whether there is already an old small solar system on the roof. |
| Newer estates | Whether the builder fitted solar, what inverter it has, and whether it can take a battery or needs a second inverter. |
| Larger semi-rural blocks | Single or three-phase supply, the run from the roof or shed to the switchboard, and whether a shed roof is the better place for panels. |
| Businesses | Roof area and structure on warehouses and workshops, daytime load, and the switchboard and meter set-up. |
If you already have an older solar system
Plenty of Campbelltown houses had a small system put on years ago. If that's you, there are usually three options, and the right one depends on the inverter you have and the age of the panels:
- Leave the panels and add a battery with its own inverter, if your current inverter can't take one.
- Replace the inverter with a hybrid inverter and add a battery to the existing panels.
- Add panels if the roof has room, so there's more daytime solar to store.
We'll tell you which makes sense once we've seen the inverter model and your usage. Our guide on whether a home battery is worth it explains how to work out whether you have enough spare solar to fill one.
Sizing for a Campbelltown summer
Campbelltown sits well inland from the coast, and summer afternoons often mean air conditioning running into the evening. That pattern, daytime solar followed by a heavy evening load, is the one a battery is designed for, so it's worth looking at your summer bill as well as your winter one. We'd rather size from both than guess from a single quarter. The method is set out in our solar sizing guide.
Network: Endeavour Energy
Campbelltown is in Endeavour Energy's network area (Endeavour Energy lists the Campbelltown council area). Endeavour approves solar and battery connections and sets the inverter and export rules for your connection. We make that application as part of the install, so the system is designed to fit those rules from the start.
Businesses in Campbelltown
For workshops, warehouses and offices, such as those in the Ingleburn and Minto industrial areas, we install commercial solar and batteries, and offer solar PPAs where we fund and own the system and you pay for the power it produces.

Campbelltown questions
Is Campbelltown close to your office?
Yes. Our address is 8/56 Central Hills Dr, Gregory Hills NSW 2557, and Campbelltown is part of the Macarthur area we think of as our local patch. We service all of Greater Sydney.
Which network is my home on, Endeavour or Ausgrid?
Campbelltown homes are normally on Endeavour Energy's network. Your bill shows your distributor, and the Australian Energy Regulator has a guide if you can't find it.
My roof is tiled with several different faces. Is solar still practical?
Usually, yes. Hip roofs often split panels across east, north and west faces, which spreads production across the day. We check the layout from satellite imagery and visit if we need to.
Can I add a battery to the solar I got years ago?
Often. It depends on the inverter model. Send us the model number or a photo of the inverter and we'll tell you what's possible.
Do you work on businesses around Ingleburn and Minto?
Yes. We install commercial solar and batteries and offer PPAs for businesses across Greater Sydney, including the Campbelltown area.
