Solar panels in Alderley, installed properly
Tier 1 panels, proven inverters and a clean install from a team that answers the phone after the job is done.
Solar panels for Alderley, planned around your home
Whether it is your first system or you are replacing an old one, we size solar for Alderley homes around real usage, not the biggest number we can fit on the roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Alderley makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Alderley 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.
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. From Alderley to nearby Grange and Newmarket, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Alderley
Alderley Edge in Cheshire inspired the name when the area was established in 1878, the same year its post office opened. Turrbal people are the traditional owners. The railway station followed in 1899, and housing estates were auctioned in waves in 1890, 1914, the early 1920s and 1937. Council trams ran here between 1949 and 1968.
Hemmed in by Newmarket, Ashgrove, Enoggera, Grange, Stafford, Kedron and Everton Park, Alderley covers 2.5 square kilometres with about 6,750 residents, roughly 7 km from the city. It has its own train station, a community shopping complex with a supermarket, warehouses and a police station. Parks include Alderley Grove and Greenhills, and the old brickworks chimney on Mina Parade is heritage listed.

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
Call 0449 942 735How much does solar cost in Alderley?
Most Alderley homes pay between $4,800 and $7,000 for a quality 6.6kW system and $7,400 to $11,000 for 10kW, after the federal rebate. We give you a fixed price after a free on-site measure, so there are no surprises on install day.
What size solar system do I need in Alderley?
Look at your bill. Most families using 20 to 30kWh a day suit 6.6kW to 10kW. If you run pool pumps, ducted air or an EV, or plan to add a battery, 10kW to 13kW usually makes more sense. Energex export limits also shape the right inverter size.
Is solar still worth it with low feed-in tariffs?
Yes, if the system is sized for self-use. Every kWh you use from your panels saves you the full retail rate, which is far more than the few cents you get for exporting. Running dishwashers, pool pumps and hot water in the middle of the day makes a big difference, and a battery stretches it into the evening.
How long does installation take?
Most homes are done in a single day. We book the install once your network approval comes back, then arrange the meter change with your retailer.
Do you install solar on tile, tin and Klip-Lok roofs in Alderley?
Yes. We install on concrete and terracotta tiles, corrugated iron, Colorbond and Klip-Lok, with tilt frames where a flat roof needs them.
Do you service Alderley 4051 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Alderley is part of our Brisbane Westside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in Grange, Newmarket, Stafford, Wilston. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
