When half the street already has solar
With so many panels on Sunshine Coast roofs, export limits and low feed-in tariffs matter. The value is in using more of your own solar, which is why a battery or a well-planned upgrade often makes more sense than simply adding panels. Our Sunshine Coast solar and battery guide explains it.

What we look at
Your existing system
Many homes already have an older system. We check whether to add to it, replace the inverter, or start again, and explain why.
Coastal conditions
Near the beach, fixings and racking need to suit salt air and wind.
Hinterland homes
Trees and hills bring shading. We design the layout around it.
Batteries and backup
Sized to your evenings, installed to the battery standard. See how we install a battery.
Where we work
We travel to the Sunshine Coast with our own team, from Caloundra and Kawana to Maroochydore, Noosa and the hinterland. No hand-offs to a local subcontractor: the people who quote are the people who install.
Rebates
The federal solar rebate comes off your quote. The federal battery rebate steps down every six months and is set by the install date. We show you what applies 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.
Questions we get asked
Do you install on the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. The Sunshine Coast is fully serviced by our own team, from Caloundra to Noosa and the hinterland.
Can you upgrade my old solar system?
Often. We check your panels, inverter and switchboard and explain whether to add, replace or leave it.
Do I need a battery if I already have solar?
Not always. It depends on when you use power and your export limit. We will tell you honestly.
How much does it cost?
We do not publish prices. You get a written quote after a free consultation and a site visit.
