The best solar installers in Canberra for 2027 are SolarHub, SunBuilt Solar, Huglo Solar, Sunstak, Solargain, ECG Electrical, Climate Plus, Shaw Electrix, Energy Matters and 1KOMMA5°. This list is part of our Canberra business services hub.
Canberra is one of Australia’s strongest solar markets. Clear winter days, high rooftop uptake and the ACT’s push to electrify homes mean many households are now adding batteries, EV chargers and heat pumps alongside panels.
The ACT Government’s Sustainable Household Scheme offers low-interest loans for eligible batteries and electrification products, and the federal Cheaper Home Batteries program provides an upfront discount on eligible batteries. Check current eligibility before signing, as scheme rules change.
This list of top solar installers in Canberra covers long-running local installers, multi-trade firms and national companies with a Canberra presence. For related work, see our lists of electricians in Canberra and air conditioning companies in Canberra.

We started from Canberra business directories, ACT battery program installer lists and local review platforms, then checked each company’s website, products and service area. We favoured installers with a Canberra presence, accredited designers and installers, battery expertise and consistent positive reviews. Read more about how we research and rank.
Yes for most owner-occupiers with a suitable roof. Canberra gets strong sunshine, and pairing solar with daytime electricity use, a battery or a heat pump improves the payback.
A battery makes most sense if you use a lot of power in the evening or want backup. The federal battery discount and ACT loans can reduce the upfront cost, so compare total system price after incentives.
Look for designers and installers accredited through Solar Accreditation Australia, and a retailer that has signed the New Energy Tech Consumer Code. Accreditation is also needed for small-scale technology certificates.
Check the panel product warranty, the inverter and battery warranties and the installer’s workmanship warranty. Ask who handles warranty claims if a manufacturer leaves the Australian market.
For high-volume local experience, SolarHub is the obvious starting point, while SunBuilt Solar and Huglo Solar offer local residential focus.
Also worth a look: Sunstak for batteries and EV chargers, Solargain for its long ACT history and Climate Plus or Shaw Electrix for multi-trade upgrades.
Whoever you choose, get at least two quotes, confirm accreditation and compare the total cost after incentives.
