Going solar in Auchenflower
Inner Brisbane is full of character: Queenslanders, workers cottages and townhouses on small lots in places like Paddington, West End, New Farm and Bulimba, where neat installs and careful panel layout matter.
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.
Auchenflower 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.
- Low-lying pockets of Auchenflower sit inside council flood mapping. Where it matters we mount inverters and batteries above the flood planning level and keep isolators easy to reach.
- Many Auchenflower 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.

Auchenflower: history and local area
Around 1880 Thomas McIlwraith named a rural estate here using a Gaelic phrase meaning field of flowers. Estates such as Torwood in 1887 and Drysllwyn in 1920 were sold off for housing, and trams ran along Milton Road between 1900 and 1962. Auchenflower was treated as part of Toowong from 1975, then regained its status as a suburb in its own right on 16 November 1986.
Hills and pockets of green space run down to the Brisbane River, where the Bicentennial Bikeway follows the bank. The Wesley Hospital on Coronation Drive is the best known landmark, and Auchenflower Stadium hosts basketball. A station on the Ipswich line serves commuters. Heritage places include Moorlands and the McIlwraith Croquet Club. Riverside streets went under during the January 2011 floods.
Hilly streets give some homes great elevated roof exposure, while lower riverside houses that flooded in 2011 should keep batteries and inverters well clear of the ground.
