Power & Water, Made Simple

homes & holidays meet the people regional style Oct 01, 2025

Meet the local team helping homes and properties take control of their energy and water needs.

As energy costs rise and climate conditions shift, more regional households and property owners are turning to solar and water solutions to regain control- and many of them are turning to SPS Solar + Water.

Based in Mudgee and servicing the wider Central West region of NSW, SPS is known for its no-fuss, local approach and its ability to integrate both solar and water systems into one streamlined setup. From rooftop panels in town to fully off-grid systems on remote rural blocks, the team at SPS design, supply and install tailored systems that last - and that work.

Why Go Solar?
Solar systems are no longer just a nice-to-have - they’re a smart long-term investment. But getting it right starts with asking the right questions:

Will the system suit both current and future energy use?
Are the components high quality and backed by warranty?
Who do you call if something goes wrong?

The best providers offer clear answers, genuine advice, and local after-sales support. That’s where experience makes all the difference.


Beyond the Sun: The Role of Battery Storage
One of the most common myths around solar is that it only works when the sun’s out. In fact, modern solar systems with battery storage can keep your home powered well into the night - even during cloudy weather. With the right setup, energy generated during the day can be stored and used later, reducing reliance on the grid and boosting self-sufficiency.

A Natural Fit: Solar-Powered Water Solutions
In rural and agricultural settings, solar and water go hand-in-hand. SPS designs efficient systems for dam pumps, bore pumps, tank transfers and full-property water supply - many of which can be run entirely on solar.

Not only does this reduce ongoing running costs, but it also ensures greater reliability in areas where mains power can be inconsistent. For farms and off-grid properties, this integrated approach is both practical and future-proof.

Incentives Worth Exploring
There are still several government rebates available for solar and battery systems, including Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and incentives under the Federal Battery Scheme. Many homeowners are also benefiting from feed-in tariffs and finance options to help manage upfront costs.

Knowing what you’re eligible for - and what’s worth pursuing - can make a big difference. Reputable providers will walk you through it without the sales pitch.

Local Knowledge, Long-Term Support
What sets SPS apart is their commitment to honest, in-house service. Their team of local designers, technicians and installers manage every project from start to finish - and they’re just a phone call away if support is ever needed down the track.
Whether it’s a family looking to slash their power bill or a remote property owner wanting to go fully off-grid, SPS is known for finding solutions that make sense - and last.

Client Story: Off-Grid, On Their Own Terms
One recent project saw the SPS team design a full off-grid solar and battery system for a family outside Mudgee. Previously reliant on a generator, they wanted more freedom and consistency. The result? A custom system that powers their home 24/7, with battery backup to carry them through darker days and nights - no fuel top-ups or noise required.

Start Small, Think Big
For those looking to take the first step, the advice is simple: start with awareness. Look at your energy and water use. Track where the load is coming from. Even small changes like switching to efficient appliances or updating pump systems can have a noticeable impact.
