Going solar in Newmarket
Brisbane's west takes in leafy riverside suburbs like Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Chapel Hill, the Centenary suburbs, and hillier, tree-lined streets around The Gap, Ashgrove and Ferny Grove where shading needs careful planning.
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.
Newmarket 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.
- Many Newmarket homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

Newmarket: history and local area
Known first as The Three Mile Scrub, the area took a new name when Brisbane's saleyards moved in around 1880 and became the new market. Trains came in 1899 and trams in 1903, a year before the state school opened. The saleyards left for Cannon Hill in 1931, and houses were planned on the old site two years later.
Enoggera Creek runs along the southern edge, with a linear park and bikeway beside it. About 5,080 people live in this 1.7 square kilometre suburb, 5.1 km by road from the CBD. Pre-war and post-war Queenslanders sit beside newer townhouses and units. Newmarket Shopping Centre added cinemas in 2018, the hotel dates from 1897, and Sedgeley Park has a public pool.
Pre-war Queenslanders often have tin roofs that suit panels well, while townhouses and unit blocks typically need body corporate approval and a plan for sharing limited roof space between residents.
