Want to go solar, but don’t know where to start?

Inner West Community Energy is a registered charity on a mission to transition Sydney’s Inner West to 100% renewable energy. We provide free, practical advice and structured support for individuals, businesses and community organisations.

How we can help you

  • Ready to power your home with renewable energy? We can connect you to an installer capable of equipping your home with a quality rooftop solar system. Learn about our process, or contact us to get started.

  • A heat pump hot water system is a highly efficient hot water system which runs on electricity and has a storage tank. They’re a great step to take in your home electrification journey. Contact us for advice, and assistance sourcing a trustworthy quote.

  • Electrifying your home with efficient appliances will maximise your comfort, while minimising your bills! Learn more in our Resources section.

  • We believe in leveraging our collective power and investing in solar and electrification projects that benefit the Inner West community. We love welcoming new volunteers, and we’re always grateful for donations in support of our mission.
