With solar panels in Brisbane, you can produce electricity for less than the price of buying from your energy retailer. This renewable power is a way to reduce your household's reliance on the grid and help to protect it from climate change.
Sun Solar Australia sells QCells and Sunpower solar panels, along with Fronius inverters, microinverters and monitoring systems. The company often runs promotions offering 'SolarPacks' that include panels, storage and an inverter for a lower cost than purchasing each component separately.

Australia is a great place for solar power, and Brisbane is no exception. By installing a solar power system, you can offset your home energy consumption by generating your own electricity from the sun during the day and, with a battery, even into the night.
Picking the right solar installation company is crucial. You want to ensure that the company you choose is CEC accredited, and offers quality, reputable products. This includes the panels and inverters you use, as well as the brand and model of your solar system.
Sun Solar Australia, for example, offers CSUN and Trina panels, Alpha-ESS and Fronius inverters, and Tesla and LG battery storage systems. The company also provides a free solar assessment. A network connection agreement application must be lodged with your electricity distributor and approved before the installation can begin.
Generous solar rebates are available at present to make going solar in Brisbane much cheaper. These are in the form of Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and are linked to both the size of a solar power system and its location. The more sunlight a suburb receives, the more clean energy it is likely to produce, and therefore the higher its STC value.
A professional solar installer will be able to calculate the STC value of your home and then deduct this from the quote price. This will greatly reduce the upfront cost of your solar system.
Additionally, households can take advantage of feed-in tariffs and other incentives aimed at improving system performance. The latter is especially important because it ensures your solar panels are positioned to maximise energy efficiency and maximum savings.
As the capital of the sunshine state, Brisbane receives 5.2 peak sun hours per square metre on average each day. As a result, solar power systems generate plenty of usable energy throughout the day and, with battery storage, well into the night too.
Many of Australia’s leading solar retailers offer a range of different PV system packages. For example, Bradford Energy offers a 'SolarPack' and 'ChargePack' that bundles together panels, inverters, and monitoring equipment. The company also sells individual components including batteries, inverters and a range of modules.
Another installer that sells a variety of products is Gem Energy. Its 'SolarPacks' include modules from QCells, Hanwha Q-Cells, SunPower and LG and inverters from Fronius, SMA, and Enphase. It also sells batteries from a range of manufacturers and is a Premium Tesla certified installer for the popular Powerwall.
Inverters are at the heart of a solar power system and are what converts continuously varying DC voltage into constant AC voltage. This voltage is then used to generate electricity from solar panels.
On-grid systems are connected to the main energy grid so homeowners can earn credits on their bills and sometimes even small net income from selling surplus energy back into the grid. This type of system can be cheaper to install than off-grid systems.
Sun Solar Australia is a Brisbane-based retailer that offers on-grid and hybrid battery systems. It installs panels from QCells, Sunpower and Trina Solar, matched with inverters from Fronius, Sungrow and Enphase, as well as Tesla battery storage systems. It aims to be green through its solar power systems and focuses on manufacturers with offices in Australia for customer support.
If your solar system requires maintenance, you can contact a Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited electrician. These are licensed professionals who have extensive experience, certifications and specialised expertise in managing complex solar and backup power projects.
With solar booming in Queensland, there are now more than half a million rooftop solar systems on homes across the state. This makes it the nation’s leading solar state in terms of penetration. To know more about Solar Installation Brisbane, visit the Sun Solar Australia website or call 1800931992.
While it may seem like a big investment, households in Brisbane can typically expect their solar system to pay for itself in three to five years, thanks to the feed-in tariff and lower electricity costs. However, the exact payback time varies by household. This is because the size of your system, your usage patterns and installation complexity all play a role in your overall cost.
