HCB Solar Newcastle
A local business looking after local Hunter People properly
HCB Solar is a long-standing Newcastle and Hunter based specialist in the design and installation of solar power and battery storage systems. Having completed over 1000 residential systems on Hunter homes and more than 500 installations for New South Wales schools, our experience is built on a foundation of quality and technical expertise.
In addition to our residential work, HCB Solar has delivered large scale projects such as the installation of 1100kW of commercial solar in 2015. Our passion for the potential of solar energy has driven us to provide products of the highest efficiency to all of our commercial and residential clients.
While HCB Solar is no longer taking on new solar or battery installations, we remain dedicated to our existing customers. We continue to provide information and support for anyone who has invested in a solar future with us. Our focus is now exclusively on managing warranty claims and ensuring that the high quality systems we have installed across the region continue to perform reliably for years to come.
HCB SOLAR GOVERNMENT PARTNER
Government programs have relied on HCB Solar for years, which is why we are the experts choice.
Being “the experts choice” isn’t the easiest position to be in and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The fact that government programs, commercial projects and home owners alike have come rely on HCB Solar’s knowledge, service and expertise is a legacy we take pride in and work hard to live up to.
Our systems may not necessarily be the cheapest on the market, but we guarantee that they provide the best value to our customers. This is vitally important in the long run. Longer-lasting, more efficient products pay themselves off quicker, require fewer ongoing costs and provide more savings overall. Whereas a cheap quality system may only save you money today, but will cost you well into the future.
HCB Solar has a team with an accredited designer and installer of grid feed solar systems using the highest quality panels and inverters available. We have a team of SAA (Solar Accreditation Australia) accredited installers and qualified licensed electricians, and only use the highest quality of products, which provide a premium installation and guarantee customer satisfaction.
