Going solar in Calamvale
Brisbane's southside covers older post-war suburbs like Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, the busy family areas around Sunnybank, Mansfield and Carindale, and newer pockets at Pallara and Forest Lake.
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.
Calamvale 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.

Calamvale: history and local area
Early settler and landowner James Calam built his family homestead on a rise at the top of Calam Road, and his name stuck long before the suburb was gazetted in 1972. In 1984 the family sold the homestead to the McGuires, who built the Calamvale Hotel. Real urban growth began in the early 1990s and rolled out in stages.
Calamvale Creek, part of Scrubby Creek, runs through the lower part of the suburb, flanked by the Golden Pond wetlands, two stormwater wetlands built in the late 1990s. There are three shopping centres, a police station and plenty of parks including Calamvale District Park. Calamvale Community College takes students from Prep to Year 12, and nine bus routes run through.
Most houses here went up from the early 1990s onward, so roofs are usually in reasonable shape, and the mix of owner-occupiers with mortgages suits solar and batteries that trim ongoing household bills.
