Going solar in Carina
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.
Carina 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.

Carina: history and local area
Ebenezer Thorne owned an estate on Creek Road in the 1850s and named it after his daughter, Kate Carina, which is where the suburb got its name. Early Europeans came for farming and timber. By the 1880s and early 1900s Carina was the main settlement in the Shire of Belmont. Public housing after World War II drove fast growth through the 1950s and 1960s, and trolleybuses ran here from 1954 to 1969.
The eastern side is flat floodplain along Bulimba Creek, while the west rises toward Seven Hills and Camp Hill. Minnippi Park carries the Bulimba Creek Cycleway, and the Clem Jones Centre on Zahel Street is a big sports complex. Shops line Old Cleveland Road, there is a library on Mayfield Road, and San Sisto College is the local girls' secondary school. Buses replaced rail long ago.
Many of the post war homes here sit on flat Bulimba Creek floodplain blocks with open roofs, though owners in low spots may want batteries and inverters mounted up high with flood levels in mind.

What rebates are available in Carina?

For 2026 installs that is roughly $1,700 on a 6.6kW system and $3,400 on a 13kW system. The rebate drops by about a fifth on 1 January 2027. Batteries get the separate federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount. Queensland has no extra state rebate open right now.
