Solar & batteries in Charlestown
Charlestown is a mix of everything: post-war brick, sixties brick veneer, newer townhouses and a good number of homes with old 3kW and 5kW solar systems that have been up for a decade. A lot of our work here is upgrading rather than starting fresh, and adding storage to systems that were never designed for it.
What matters in Charlestown
- Plenty of ageing solar in this area — we assess whether the existing array is worth keeping before quoting a replacement.
- AC-coupled battery retrofits suit most of these homes and avoid touching the working solar side.
- Older switchboards are common and are checked as part of the quote.
- Ridge-top positions catch the wind, so mounting spec matters more than people expect.
- Twelve minutes from the workshop.

“We are extremely happy with the job that Newy Solar has done to install/upgrade our existing solar/battery system. Newy Solar did an excellent job. The knowledge shown and communications with ourselves ensured that the installation progressed without a hitch, during a very busy period. The installed (SigEnergy) solar/battery system is working very well for us and we have not imported from the grid since the installation work was completed (2 months). Excellent service and professional job by Newy Solar. We would definitely recommend Newy Solar (and have done to friends).”
