Your trusted partner for all your solar and battery needs in Sydney.

Established in 2016, Smooth Current Electrical & Solar emerged as a residential electrical specialist before diversifying into solar. Today, with double-digit in-house employees and a well-earned reputation as one of Sydney's premier solar installers, we deliver a tailored, high-quality and personable service — from our Northern Beaches headquarters and warehouse in Cromer.

    We exclusively utilise our in-house teams for all installations, with no subcontractors used — every job done by qualified electricians.

  • Trusted experts

    We pay meticulous attention to every component of your system, ensuring durability in the face of salty coastal air and Sydney's challenging environmental elements.

From my first engagement with Smooth Current my experience has been highly professional. They catered for all my requirements without question where other companies wanted to take short cuts. I've worked in the building industry for over 30 years and Smooth Current's installers are up there as some of the most professional I have come across.
Matthew ThornSydney, NSW
We had a great experience with SCE and we're very happy with our system. Communication was great and follow up after install has been great too. The installation team were highly professional, did a great job and even cleaned up after themselves. A big plus for us was that SCE do not use subcontractors.
Susan WilliamsonSydney, NSW
Could not recommend more highly. Significant time was spent developing and explaining the best solution plus answering all my questions. The team who did the installation were just fantastic — hard working, courteous, efficient and perfectionist. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was right.
