Going solar in Albion
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe.
Brisbane covers everything from Queenslanders with tin roofs and tight inner-city lots to big brick homes in the southern and western suburbs. Every roof is different, which is why we measure and design each one on site.
Albion is on the Energex network. Most homes can export up to 5kW per phase on a standard connection, and newer dynamic connections allow more. We size your inverter to get the most from those limits and lodge the Energex application for you.
- Many Albion homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

Albion: history and local area
John Petrie opened a quarry here in 1860, and its pale rock face reminded publican Thomas Hayseldon of England's white cliffs, so he called his pub the Albion Hotel. The name stuck. Estates went to auction through the 1880s, a Chinese temple was built on Higgs Street in 1885 to 1886, the Breakfast Creek Hotel opened in 1890 and Albion Park Racecourse followed in 1895.
Breakfast Creek forms the southern edge and Sandgate Road cuts straight through the middle, about five kilometres from the CBD. The heritage-listed Breakfast Creek Hotel is the best-known landmark, alongside Albion Park Paceway and Allan Border Field, home of Queensland Cricket. Housing runs from old workers' cottages to modern brick homes and unit blocks, with a busy train station on several lines.
Small workers' cottages near Breakfast Creek often have compact roofs, so it pays to size a system to daytime use and consider where a battery can sit safely above any flood-prone ground.
