Going solar in Tweed Heads West
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 West 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.
- Being close to the water, Tweed Heads West 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.

Tweed Heads West: history and local area
Tweed Heads West sits on Bundjalung country, and the written record of its early European years is slim. What is clear is its position on the western side of Tweed Heads near the Tweed River, inside Tweed Shire, with part of Gold Coast Airport reaching across the border into the suburb. Cobaki Creek runs close by, past Boyd Family Park on Piggabeen Road.
Around 6,200 people call this part of Tweed Heads home. Surfers Paradise is roughly 31 km to the north, and the airport is right next door. For a family outing, Boyd Family Park on Piggabeen Road has barbecues, a shelter, picnic tables and a drinking fountain near Cobaki Creek, a handy spot for a weekend sausage sizzle.
With Cobaki Creek and the Tweed River close by, it is sensible to place batteries and inverters above any likely flood height, while the open airport land next door leaves many roofs with wide, unshaded skies.
