What Westmead roofs are like
Westmead is largely single-storey brick homes on generous blocks, plus a growing band of medium density. Big uninterrupted roof planes here often take a 10kW system without compromise.
That is why we do not quote a system size off a package name. We read twelve months of your usage, measure the useable roof rather than the total roof, and model the output face by face. You get the number and the assumptions behind it in writing.
What we install in Westmead
- Solar panel installation
Rooftop solar sized on your actual bills, installed by our own crew, with the price agreed in writing first.
- Home battery storage
Store what your roof makes during the day and use it at night, on a new system or fitted to the one you already have.
- System design & sizing
The part that decides whether your system was worth it, done on your usage and your roof before anything is ordered.
- Inverter replacement
The part that fails first, replaced without touching panels that are still doing their job.
- Service & maintenance
Checks, fault finding and repairs, including on systems we did not install and brands that have left the market.
- EV charger installation
A proper wall charger wired into your switchboard, set up to take what your roof is making rather than what the grid is selling.

What decides the job in Westmead
Some of the easiest roofs in the area
A long unbroken plane with a simple pitch is the cheapest kind of roof to install on, and Westmead has a lot of them. It is one of the few suburbs where the published starting price is often the actual price.
Room for the array a battery deserves
Where the roof takes 10kW without compromise, pairing it with storage stops the extra generation going out at a few cents. That is the pairing worth costing here.
Medium density is the other half of the suburb
The newer apartment and townhouse band is a different conversation, and often a body corporate one. We will tell you early if a building is not a job we can quote.

Solar in Westmead, common questions
The ones that come up on nearly every first call, answered straight.
Not on the list? Call 1300 958 778 or send it through.
Will a 10kW system fit on a Westmead roof?
On the single-storey brick stock, usually yes and without splitting the array across awkward faces. That is not true everywhere in Western Sydney, which is why we measure rather than assume.
Do you install for apartment buildings in Westmead?
Not as a rule. This is a residential rooftop business and shared roofs bring body corporate approvals and metering arrangements that sit outside what we do. We will say so rather than string it out.
Do you install in Westmead?
Yes. Westmead is inside our regular run across Parramatta and Western Sydney, and it is our own crew rather than a subcontractor. DSW Energy works under NSW electrical licence 497806C.
How much does it cost to install solar in Parramatta?
Our starting prices are $4,500 for a 6.6kW system and $8,500 for 10kW, for a standard single-storey install. What moves the number is the roof, not the postcode: two storeys, tile instead of sheet, a switchboard that needs upgrading, or an array split across several faces all add labour. We confirm the final figure in writing after a site assessment, so the price you accept is the price you pay.
Is there a solar rebate in NSW in 2026?
Not on panels, and that surprises people. There is no New South Wales rebate for rooftop solar. The discount you hear about is federal, it comes off the price as a point-of-sale deduction rather than a cheque you claim later, and every accredited installer in the state gets the same one. Batteries are different: a federal battery discount and a separate NSW incentive for connecting to a virtual power plant both apply, and they stack. We set out what you qualify for in writing with the quote, against the rules on the day.
What is the 33% rule for solar panels?
It is a rough guide that a solar system will typically cover around a third of a home's electricity use unless you change when you use power or add a battery. It is a reasonable sanity check on any sales pitch: if someone tells you panels alone will wipe out your whole bill, ask them to show you the numbers behind it. Shifting your washing, dishwasher and pool pump into daylight hours does more than most people expect, and a battery is what moves you past it properly.
Why do some people get rid of their solar panels?
Usually one of three reasons, and none of them is that solar stopped working. Systems installed a decade ago are reaching the end of their inverter life and get replaced rather than removed. Some were undersized for the household from the start and never delivered what was promised. And some were installed badly by companies that are no longer trading, which is the strongest argument for choosing an installer who will still be there in ten years. Panels themselves usually outlast everything else on the roof.
