- Being close to the water, Scarborough 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.

Scarborough: history and local area
Scarborough began as a marine township in 1878, when the first blocks went under the hammer, and the leftover lots sold in 1882. The state school arrived in 1925, and then the Hornibrook Highway opened in 1935, giving Brisbane residents a direct road link and sparking a fast run of building on the peninsula's northern tip.
Water surrounds Scarborough on three sides, with Deception Bay to the north west and Moreton Bay to the north and east. The 13.7 hectare boat harbour is one of the busiest spots, and divers know Turner Reef, an artificial reef about one nautical mile offshore. Landsborough Avenue is the main street, full of cafés. Points and beaches line the shore, from Castlereagh Point to Queens Beach.
Exposed headlands mean strong onshore winds and salt, so wind rated mounting and coastal grade panels make sense. Compact blocks here often rely on making the most of every roof face.
