Solar panels in Clontarf, 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 Clontarf, planned around your home
Whether it is your first system or you are replacing an old one, we size solar for Clontarf homes around real usage, not the biggest number we can fit on the roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Clontarf makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Clontarf 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.
North Brisbane and Moreton Bay run from Albany Creek and Strathpine through North Lakes and Narangba to Caboolture and Bribie Island, taking in the Redcliffe Peninsula and acreage around Samford and Dayboro. From Clontarf to nearby Margate and Woody Point, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Clontarf 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.

Getting to know Clontarf
Land sales started in 1881, when 108 allotments of the Hayes Inlet Estate went up for sale. The Clontarf estate followed at auction in September 1882, and Clontarf North sold that December. The golf course has been there since 1936. Schools came later, with Clontarf Beach State School in 1950, the state high school in 1964 and Grace Lutheran Primary in 1971.
Facing Bramble Bay on the south west of the peninsula, Clontarf has two beaches, Clontarf Beach and Bells Beach. Hornibrook Pier, built from what was left of the old Hornibrook Bridge, is a favourite fishing spot. Grey kangaroos and koalas live on the Redcliffe Golf Course. Kroll Gardens and Pelican Park are well used, and the western side holds the largest industrial area around Redcliffe.

Solar panels in Clontarf: 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 Clontarf?
Most Clontarf 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 Clontarf?
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 Clontarf?
Yes. We install on concrete and terracotta tiles, corrugated iron, Colorbond and Klip-Lok, with tilt frames where a flat roof needs them. Near the coast we use stainless fixings and corrosion-resistant racking.
Do you service Clontarf 4019 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Clontarf is part of our North Brisbane & Moreton Bay service area in the City of Moreton Bay area, and we regularly work in Margate, Woody Point, Kippa-Ring, Redcliffe. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
