Sullec Solar and Electrical

If you’d rather deal with one trusted electrician than a rotating cast of installers, Sullec Solar & Electrical is exactly the kind of business you’re after. It’s run by Tom Sullivan, a licensed NSW electrical contractor based in Hamilton who spent years working across residential and commercial jobs in Newcastle before specialising in solar. His approach is simple: visit every site in person, keep the work in-house, and stay accountable for it long after the invoice is paid.

That starts before you’ve committed to anything. Tom visits your property himself to assess your roof, switchboard and actual usage before quoting, rather than working off a phone call or a satellite photo, and he’ll tell you honestly if solar doesn’t stack up for your home rather than sizing a system to hit a sales target.

The same person who quotes the job installs it too alongside his in house team. Tom personally carries the product warranty on every system, so the person who designed it is also who you call if anything needs attention down the track.

On the product side, Sullec has settled on a considered short list rather than chasing whatever happens to be cheapest that month, working predominantly with Sigenergy batteries alongside Sungrow and Enphase inverters and panels from Aiko, Suntech and REC. Choosing a smaller range of proven brands means the team genuinely knows how to get the best out of them, whether that’s a straightforward grid-connect system, a battery retrofit or a fully off-grid setup for a rural property.

The scope goes well beyond a standard solar install too. Sullec handles battery storage, off-grid systems, EV charger installation, solar panel maintenance, and general electrical work like switchboard upgrades and renovation wiring, so the same trusted electrician can look after most of what your home needs rather than juggling separate tradespeople.

It’s also worth noting that one of Tom’s former apprentices was named NSW Apprentice of the Year, a good sign of the standard he trains his team to.

For homeowners across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley who want a straightforward, honest conversation about solar rather than a sales pitch, Sullec Solar & Electrical is a strong local option to reach out to.
