Going solar in Burleigh Heads
The southern Gold Coast stretches from Coolangatta and the beaches of Palm Beach and Burleigh back to Robina, Mudgeeraba and the valleys of Currumbin and Tallebudgera, with everything from beachfront units to acreage.
Over half of Gold Coast houses already have rooftop solar, so a lot of our work here is batteries, upgrades and fixing tired systems, alongside new installs in growth areas like Coomera, Pimpama and Ormeau.
Burleigh Heads 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, Burleigh Heads 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.

Burleigh Heads: history and local area
Surveyor James Warner named the headland in 1840, reportedly because of its bulky look. Town lots were surveyed in 1871 and sold the following year, yet by 1885 there was still just one accommodation house. Bathing resorts and guesthouses grew around the turn of the century, the Norfolk pines along The Esplanade went in in 1934, and the Koala Park area was built in the 1960s.
The 80-metre headland stands at the northern mouth of Tallebudgera Creek, covered by Burleigh Head National Park. James Street is the main shopping and cafe strip, with high-rise towers behind the beach and homes spreading inland along the creek. David Fleay Wildlife Park, Bill Godfrey Oval and the Old Burleigh Theatre Arcade are local fixtures, and about 10,600 people lived here in 2021.
Between beachfront high-rise, older homes along the creek and leafy streets near the national park, Burleigh roofs vary a lot, so shading from towers and trees needs checking before a system is designed.
