Solar in Brisbane in 2026
Brisbane homes are on the Energex network. Export limits, dynamic connections and low feed-in tariffs mean a system that suited a home five years ago may not be the right design today. It pays to use more of your own solar, which is why many Brisbane homes now add a battery or plan for one. We explain the detail in Brisbane solar and batteries in 2026.

Designed around your home
Your usage
When you use power matters more than how much. We look at your day and evening use before sizing anything.
Older homes
Queenslanders and older brick homes often have switchboards that need work before solar or a battery. We check first and tell you before we quote.
Roofs and shading
Leafy streets, split roofs and tin or tile all change the design. We plan the layout around what your roof can actually do.
Batteries
We have installed more than 500. We size them to your evenings and tell you if a battery does not suit you yet. See home batteries.
Where we work in Brisbane
We install across Brisbane, north and south of the river, and in Logan between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Every job is done by our own team, so the people who quote are the people who turn up.
Rebates
The federal solar rebate (STCs) comes off your quote as a discount. The federal battery rebate steps down every six months and is set by the install date. We show you exactly what applies to your home and lodge the paperwork. Eligibility is set by the government.
Buying direct from the installer
Many national retailers sell the job and hand it to an installer you have never met. When you buy direct from Green Coast, it works like this.
| Many national retailers | Buying direct from Green Coast | |
|---|---|---|
| Who gives you the quote | A salesperson | Ashley or one of our tradesmen |
| Who installs it | A subcontractor, often chosen after you sign | Our own staff, on every job |
| Who you call if something goes wrong | A call centre | The Arundel office that did the job |
| Workmanship warranty | Depends on the contract | 10 years, in writing |
How it works
- A free phone or video chatAbout your home, your power bills, when you use power, and what you want: lower bills, backup, an EV, or all three. No pressure, no obligation.
- An on-site assessment and designIf it is a fit, one of our tradesmen checks the roof, shading and switchboard, then we design the system around how your household uses power.
- A written quoteEvery price comes in writing, after the site visit. Rebates are shown as a discount on the quote. Quotes are valid for 30 days.
- The install, by our own teamNo subcontractors. We handle the paperwork, grid connection and rebate lodgement, then stay on call for support.
Warranties
Manufacturer warranties cover the panels, inverter and battery, and our 10-year workmanship warranty covers how it was installed, in writing.
Questions we get asked
Do you install solar in Brisbane?
Yes. Brisbane is fully serviced by our own install team, north and south of the river.
Are you a Brisbane company?
Our office is in Arundel on the Gold Coast, about an hour from the city. Every Brisbane job is installed by our own staff, not a subcontractor.
How do Energex export limits affect my system?
They can cap how much solar you send to the grid. We design around the limit that applies to your home, and often that makes a battery more useful.
