Going solar in St Lucia
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.
St Lucia 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.
- Low-lying pockets of St Lucia sit inside council flood mapping. Where it matters we mount inverters and batteries above the flood planning level and keep isolators easy to reach.

St Lucia: history and local area
Sugar cane covered this river bend in the 1860s, when it was known as Indooroopilly Pocket. In 1882 William Alexander Wilson bought the Coldridge Plantation and renamed it after St Lucia in the West Indies, where he was born. He subdivided it for housing in 1883. The local primary school dates from 1870, though it only took the Ironside name in 1904.
A peninsula in a big Brisbane River bend, St Lucia is home to about 12,200 people and the main University of Queensland campus, 7.3 km by road from the city. The north is flatter with apartments and riverfront towers, while the hilly centre and south hold family homes. Two CityCat terminals, the Eleanor Schonell Bridge, a golf course and 15 parks serve residents.
Family homes on the hilly southern streets usually have their own roof to work with, whereas the units and towers up north need a strata conversation. River frontage also makes sensible equipment placement worth a thought.
