Going solar in Sheldon
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.
Sheldon 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 Sheldon 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.

Sheldon: history and local area
For a long time this was quiet, mostly empty rural land. It was officially named in 1980, stitched together from pieces of Capalaba and Mount Cotton, and the name most likely comes from a village in Devon, England. Sheldon College, a private Prep to Year 12 school, opened in 1997 and has become the main landmark.
Under 2,000 people spread across nearly 23 square kilometres of eucalyptus forest and acreage. Tingalpa Creek starts here and runs down the western edge, feeding the Leslie Harrison Dam catchment. Brisbane Koala Bushlands, the Emu Street reserve and the Ford Road Conservation Area all sit within it, and Venman Bushland National Park lies just to the south. A quarry and a native bee hive maker also operate locally.
Acreage lots surrounded by eucalypt forest often have big sheds and room for a ground-mounted array clear of tree shade, and a battery helps on rural feeders where outages can take longer to fix.
