Solar panels for Currumbin Waters, planned around your home
Whether it is your first system or you are replacing an old one, we size solar for Currumbin Waters homes around real usage, not the biggest number we can fit on the roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Currumbin Waters makes about 28.4kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 43kWh. Currumbin Waters 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 southern Gold Coast stretches from Coolangatta and the beaches of Palm Beach and Burleigh back to Robina, Mudgeeraba and the valleys of Currumbin and Tallebudgera, with everything from beachfront units to acreage. From Currumbin Waters to nearby Cobaki Lakes and Tugun, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Currumbin Waters
The name started life as a real estate development title. Currumbin itself is said to come from Bundjalung, possibly meaning 'high trees', or to be a corruption of kurrohmin, meaning kangaroo. Schools have helped define the suburb: St Augustine's moved here from Coolangatta on 27 January 1987, and Coolangatta Special School relocated on 1 July 2006.
Currumbin Creek winds through the suburb from Currumbin Valley toward the sea. North of the creek is mostly housing, with an industrial estate in the north-east and a residential canal estate in the middle, while the south-east is still farmland used for grazing. The suburb borders NSW and the Pacific Motorway, and almost 9,800 people lived here in 2021.

Solar panels in Currumbin Waters: 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 Currumbin Waters?
Most Currumbin Waters 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 Currumbin Waters?
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 Currumbin Waters?
Yes. We install on concrete and terracotta tiles, corrugated iron, Colorbond and Klip-Lok, with tilt frames where a flat roof needs them.
