Empowering energy independence
Our expert team is ready to help you harness the abundant power of the sun, seamlessly integrating solar panels onto your property to maximise energy production and minimise your carbon footprint.
We exist to empower individuals and businesses to embrace solar energy
That same hands-on approach now reaches well beyond Sydney. We design and install across New South Wales, with additional installer licensing in Queensland.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solar. Every home and every roof is different, so every system we design is built around your actual usage, your goals, and your property, not a generic package. Whether that means lower bills, battery backup, EV charging, or planning for future expansion, we design for where you’re headed, not just where you are today.
As a NETCC Approved Seller, we hold ourselves to a higher standard than the industry minimum: on our sales process, our installation quality, and our after-sales support. We work exclusively with proven, quality brands, including SunTech, Aiko, SigEnergy, and SunGrow, and every installer on our team, whether directly employed or a trusted licensed contractor, is fully licensed and accredited, so quality is never the thing that gets cut.
We service residential and commercial clients across NSW, with growing commercial and industrial capability as more businesses look to solar for genuine financial return.
We’re a NETCC Approved Seller
Solar is one of the biggest investments most people make in their home, so we don’t think accreditation should be optional. That’s why Riverside Solar became a New Energy Tech Approved Seller under the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC), the solar industry’s toughest consumer protection standard.

How do solar panels work?
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells within the panels capture sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity by an inverter for use in homes and businesses.
What factors determine the efficiency of solar panels?
The efficiency of solar panels depends on factors such as the quality of solar cells, sunlight intensity, temperature, shading, and panel orientation. Higher-quality panels with advanced technology tend to have higher efficiency ratings.
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels are designed to last for 25 years or more, with many manufacturers offering warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years. With regular maintenance, solar panels can continue to generate electricity efficiently for decades.
Will solar panels work on a cloudy day or night time?
While solar panels are most effective in direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity on cloudy days due to diffuse sunlight. However, their output may be reduced. Solar panels do not generate electricity at night, but excess energy generated during the day can be stored in batteries for use during nighttime.
How much space do I need for solar panels?
The space you need depends on the size of the system and the panels used. As a guide, allow roughly 5 to 7 square metres of roof per kilowatt, so a typical 6.6 kW home system needs around 30 to 45 square metres. We check your roof as part of your quote and design the layout to suit.
What are the financial incentives for installing solar?
In Australia, most households receive a discount through the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, which gives eligible systems Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that reduce the upfront cost. Many energy retailers also pay a feed-in tariff for the surplus power you send back to the grid. State programs can help too, such as the NSW Home Energy Saver loan (link to our NSW loan page once it’s live). Incentives change from time to time, so we’ll confirm what applies to you in your quote.
