Solar Installations

Custom-designed residential solar with an on-site inspection, a detailed proposal, Clean Energy Council compliant panels and a follow-up after your first bill.

Solar installations, designed for your roof

Solar is a significant investment in your property and should not be taken lightly — that’s why we choose only a limited few brands that match our quality of work. Most quality inverters and installers in Brisbane offer a 10-year warranty, and we match that with our own 10-year workmanship guarantee.

  • Site inspection & Clean Energy Council compliant install
  • Customised proposal: layout, tilt, shading, savings
  • 10-year workmanship guarantee
  • Smart metering with remote monthly checks

A thorough, transparent process

From the start you get a site inspection to make sure everything will install correctly and that all panels meet Clean Energy Council guidelines. We also advise if the meter box needs upgrading to meet Energex requirements. You then receive a customised solar proposal in full detail — panel location, tilt, shading issues and expected savings.

We don’t finish at install

Once the installation is done we make sure you fully understand how the system works and how to operate it correctly, and we follow up a few months later to check you’re satisfied after your first energy bill. We also install smart metering, and where it’s fitted we run a remote monthly check to make sure everything is functioning correctly.

Solar Installations FAQ

Your solar installations questions, answered

What does the solar installation process look like?+
It starts with a site inspection so we can make sure everything will install correctly and that all panels will meet Clean Energy Council guidelines. We then provide a customised solar proposal in full detail — panel location, tilt, shading and expected savings. After installation we make sure you fully understand how the system works, and we follow up a few months later once you have seen your first energy bill.
Are your solar installations Clean Energy Council compliant?+
Yes. Part of our site inspection is confirming that the installation and all panels will meet Clean Energy Council guidelines. We also advise if the meter box requires upgrading to meet Energex requirements, so the whole installation is done correctly and to standard.
How do you choose panels and inverters?+
Solar is a significant investment in your property and should not be taken lightly, so we choose only a limited few brands that match our quality of work. Most quality inverters and installers in Brisbane offer a 10-year warranty, and we match that with our own 10-year workmanship guarantee. We will explain the options in your proposal so you understand what you are getting.
Will my meter box need upgrading?+
Sometimes. As part of the site inspection we check whether the meter box needs upgrading to meet Energex requirements. If it does, we will let you know up front so it is included in the plan rather than being a surprise later in the process.
What happens after my solar system is installed?+
We do not finish at installation. We make sure you fully understand how the system works and how to operate it correctly, and we follow up a few months later to check you are satisfied once your first energy bill has come through. We also install smart metering, and where it is fitted we run a remote monthly check to make sure everything is functioning correctly.
Do you monitor solar systems after installation?+
Where smart metering is installed, we run a remote monthly check on the systems we have installed to confirm everything is functioning correctly. Ongoing visibility means a developing fault can be picked up early rather than going unnoticed until your generation drops.
How do I know if solar is worthwhile for my home?+
The honest answer comes from the site inspection and proposal. We look at your roof, panel location, tilt and any shading, then put together a detailed proposal including expected savings so you can make an informed decision. We take a friendly, non-salesy approach — the proposal is there to help you decide, not to pressure you.
How do I get a solar quote?+
Contact us to arrange a site inspection. Once that is done you receive a customised solar proposal in full detail covering panel layout, tilt, shading and savings. That gives you a clear, property-specific picture before you commit to anything.
