From Randwick and Coogee to Maroubra, Matraville, Little Bay and Botany, we design and install solar and home batteries with our own licensed team. Houses, townhouses, and strata buildings weighing it up.
Based in Peakhurst, installing across southern and eastern Sydney.
Free site assessment and written quote. Just your address and a recent electricity bill to start. No obligation.
Sydney Air & Solar handles solar panel installation and battery installation across Randwick, Coogee, Maroubra, Matraville, Botany and the rest of the eastern suburbs. We work on residential and commercial roofs, advise strata buildings, and add batteries to an existing solar system. Sites near the ocean get stainless fixings and wind-rated racking.
The eastern suburbs are a unit market. At the 2021 Census, 58% of homes across these eight postcodes were apartments. The houses that remain have taken up solar at the same rate as the rest of Sydney: about 34 registered systems for every 100 houses, and close to 2,000 home batteries since July 2025.
As solar installers we use our own crew, not subcontractors, and every system is tailored to your roof, your electricity bill and your energy needs. The business is family-owned and has run since 2000. Founder Alex Arnautovic is a licensed electrician and SAA designer who spent 16 years maintaining Qantas aircraft.

Share of homes that are apartments (2021 Census)
Clean Energy Regulator postcode data against the number of houses and townhouses at the 2021 Census. Apartments are left out of “per 100 houses”, because most apartment roofs are shared.

Postcode 2036 has the most solar systems and batteries in the region, and the highest rate at 40 per 100 houses.
Seven in ten homes in 2034 are units, yet the houses there carry 39 solar systems per 100, and almost 9 batteries per 100 houses.
New systems in 2019 over the last year averaged 15.6 kW, the largest in the region, helped by bigger roofs and small business premises.
With most homes in units, the most common question we get from the east is “can my building do it?”. Often the answer is yes, but the path is different from a house.
Ask us before the strata meeting. We can look at the roof and tell you what is practical.
The federal battery discount pays less above 14 kWh since 1 May 2026, and the east saw the sharpest drop in size of our four regions. Smaller homes and townhouses rarely need more than 10 to 15 kWh, which still earns the full rate. That is enough battery storage to store excess energy from the day and carry most evenings.
average battery, 1,616 installed
average battery, 365 installed
If a battery is on your list, note that the rebate is set on installation day and drops by about 16% from 1 January 2027.
Clovelly, Coogee, Maroubra, Malabar, Little Bay and Phillip Bay sit close to the ocean. We use stainless fixings and coastal-rated equipment.
Homes on the headlands and higher streets catch strong southerlies. Schletter racking is wind-rated, and we size the fixings for the site.
Semis and terraces in Randwick, Kensington and Kingsford often have small, part-shaded roofs. Enphase microinverters keep each panel working on its own.
Running a business or adding an EV? We also handle commercial solar and EV charger installation.
Written workmanship warranty of up to 10 years, on top of the manufacturer warranties.
Accreditation: our designers and installers hold Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) accreditation, which replaced Clean Energy Council (CEC) installer accreditation in May 2024, and we are a NETCC approved solar retailer.
Paperwork we handle: the STC and battery rebate claims, the grid connection application and network approval, and the electrical compliance certificate. What you see in your quote is the price after the rebate.
And tell us if it is a house, townhouse or unit.
Layout, battery size, rebates already off, one price. For strata, a summary you can take to the committee.
Our own crew; parking and access planned in advance.
App set-up, walk-through, and the grid connection lodged with Ausgrid.
Reviews from our solar, battery and air conditioning customers across southern and eastern Sydney.
We’ve used Aleks and team at two different homes and have referred him to many friends, family and neighbours. Prompt, efficient, safe and tidy. The team are lovely and Aleks goes above and beyond to help clients. Great company!
We engaged Alex and the team to replace a failed ducted aircon, and took the opportunity to install solar at the same time.
The process from inspection and advice, through to specification and quoting…
If you are considering a Solar System , do yourself a favour and talk to Sydney Air and Solar.
From the first part of the process it was made extremely easy to understand all of the options available and what would occur…
Yes, and across Matraville, Malabar, Little Bay, Phillip Bay, Hillsdale, Botany, Mascot, Kensington and Kingsford. We work Monday to Friday.
Often yes, if the roof gets sun for most of the day. Solar power cuts what you buy during the day, whether it is a home or business, and the savings show on your energy bills straight away. A 5 to 6.6 kW system fits many semis and terraces. We will tell you if your roof is too shaded to pay back.
It needs the owners corporation’s approval and a plan for sharing the power. We can assess the roof and give the committee a clear proposal.
Salt spray shortens the life of the wrong fixings. We use stainless hardware and coastal-rated equipment on sites near the ocean.
About 2,000 batteries were installed in these postcodes between July 2025 and August 2026, around 7 for every 100 houses.
On most homes, no. Rooftop solar is exempt development under the NSW Transport and Infrastructure SEPP 2021. If your home is a heritage item or sits in a heritage conservation area, panels on the roof facing the street need sign-off from Randwick City Council or Bayside Council first. We check this before we quote.
