Going solar in Brighton
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.
Brighton 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.
- Being close to the water, Brighton gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

Brighton: history and local area
The Brighton Hotel, thought to be named after the seaside town in Sussex, lent the suburb its name. A Methodist church and the state school both opened in 1920. In October 1935 the Hornibrook Bridge linked Brighton to Clontarf across the water. During World War II, an RAAF training school ran on reclaimed land from 1940 to 1946, and Nashville State School and St Kieran's opened in 1960.
Bramble Bay wraps around the north-east and east, with the Pine River on the north and the Brighton Esplanade running along the beach. Third Lagoon and the Brighton Wetlands occupy the south-west, draining to the bay via Copold Creek. Around 30 parks are spread through the suburb, and the Brighton Health Campus sits on Nineteenth Avenue. Trains leave from nearby Sandgate.
Homes along Bramble Bay face salt spray and strong breezes, so coastal-rated equipment, stainless fixings and solid wind-load engineering matter more here than in inland suburbs.
