Solar Panels Ashmore: local, honest, done right
Solar is a 25-year decision, so the panels, inverter and installation quality matter far more than shaving a few hundred dollars off the quote. RS Energy is a family-run solar company and we design every Ashmore system around your roof, your shading and your bills.
A typical 6.6kW system in Ashmore makes about 28.4kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 43kWh. Ashmore 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.
The central Gold Coast takes in the high-rise strip from Broadbeach to Main Beach, the canal homes of Bundall, Benowa and Isle of Capri, and family suburbs like Ashmore, Nerang and Carrara. We look after Ashmore and the surrounding suburbs of Benowa, Molendinar and Southport, so a free on-site measure in 4214 is easy to book.

About Ashmore
Blackbutt forest and wetland once covered much of this ground, and part of it was sold off with the Benowa sugar estate in 1887. Change came quickly in the 1970s, when Sydney investor Jim Donellon built the Ashmore Village housing estate and Ashmore Plaza followed late in the decade. The state school opened in 1978, and the suburb was formally named and bounded on 1 December 1982.
Ashmore today is mostly suburban housing with business and industrial parks mixed in, plus a small pocket of farmland beside the Gold Coast railway line. The Nerang River forms the south-western edge. Ashmore City Shopping Centre on Southport Nerang Road is the main place to shop, Trinity Lutheran College and two state primary schools serve families, and there is a TAFE campus on Heeb Street.

Solar panels in Ashmore: questions
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 Ashmore?
Most Ashmore 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 Ashmore?
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 Ashmore?
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 Ashmore 4214 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Ashmore is part of our Central Gold Coast service area in the City of Gold Coast area, and we regularly work in Benowa, Molendinar, Southport, Bundall. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
