Going solar in Tweed Heads South
The Tweed runs from the border at Tweed Heads down the coast to Pottsville and inland along the river to Murwillumbah and Uki, a mix of beach houses, river-flat towns and hinterland acreage.
From the river towns around Murwillumbah to the beach suburbs of Kingscliff, Cabarita and Pottsville, the Tweed sits on the NSW side of the border, so it runs on Essential Energy's network and NSW energy rules.
Tweed Heads South is on Essential Energy's network, so your system is designed to Essential Energy's connection rules (typically a 5kW export limit) and NSW feed-in tariffs. We handle the network application for you.

Tweed Heads South: history and local area
Not much has been written about how Tweed Heads South was first carved out, so it is best understood by its setting. The suburb lies on low ground beside the Tweed River, about 3 km south of the Tweed Heads town centre, within Tweed Shire in the Northern Rivers. Over the years it has become the base for several of the area's long-standing sporting clubs.
Close to 7,950 residents were counted here in 2021. Weekends revolve around sport: Dave Burns Field hosts South Tweed RLFC and the Tweed Banora Colts cricketers, Arkinstall Park is home to Tweed United Soccer Club, and golfers head to the Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf Club. There is also a skatepark on Heffron Street, right beside Tweed River High School.
Being low-lying river country at around 6 metres above sea level, it pays to mount inverters and batteries up off the ground and well clear of any garage floor that could take water in a big wet.
