Going solar in Mount Cotton
The Redlands coast runs from Capalaba and Birkdale through Cleveland and Victoria Point to Redland Bay and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, with plenty of larger blocks around Mount Cotton and Sheldon.
Redlands homes face Moreton Bay, so salt air, sea breezes and the island communities all shape how we design and install systems from Capalaba to Redland Bay.
Mount Cotton 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.
- Plenty of Mount Cotton properties are on acreage, which opens up ground-mounted arrays, sheds and larger systems. Rural feeders also see more outages, so battery backup is popular here.

Mount Cotton: history and local area
German families settled here in the late 1860s, forming a Lutheran congregation in 1872 and dedicating their first church in 1875. Surveyor Robert Dixon named the peak after Major Sydney Cotton, commandant of the Moreton Bay penal settlement. Poultry farms followed from 1933, a motor racing hillclimb opened in 1968, and Sirromet Winery arrived in 2000. New housing estates have spread in recent years.
The mountain itself climbs to 233 metres in the middle of the locality, and the whole area is a koala conservation zone. Venman Bushland National Park protects bush along Tingalpa Creek in the west, with a wildlife corridor heading toward Eprapah Creek. Sirromet Winery, the 946 metre hillclimb circuit and St Paul's Lutheran Church are well-known spots.
Hilly blocks and koala habitat mean many homes are surrounded by mature gum trees, so a careful shade check of each roof plane helps decide panel layout, and acreage lots may have space for a ground mount.
