Join our Installation team
Work Local, Make a Difference
Hi, we’re Chris and Kate Avery!
We started Avery Solar & Electrical in 2018 as a family-owned business serving Penrith, Blue Mountains, and Hawkesbury.
We’re passionate about helping our neighbours reduce their energy costs with quality solar solutions.
Why Work With Us?
We genuinely get excited about what we do: designing innovative solar and battery systems that perfectly suit each home and business. Whether it’s a straightforward rooftop installation or complex setups with battery storage and EV chargers, we take real pride in our workmanship.
While solar is our main focus, we handle all electrical work too, from simple jobs to complex projects. With our Level 2 electrician on staff, no job is too big or small.
We’re committed to quality and supporting local business. No cheap imports or knock-offs here. We use quality components from local suppliers because we believe in systems that last.
You’ll work with a fully licensed, accredited, and insured team. With Chris’s 20+ years of electrical experience, you’ll learn from someone who truly knows the trade.
