A family solar company that measures your roof, explains the numbers and installs it right the first time.
Why Hastings Point homes choose RS Energy for solar panels
Plenty of companies sell solar on price alone. We sell it on quality, because a system that is designed and installed well keeps paying you back for decades. Every Hastings Point quote starts with a free measure of your roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Hastings Point makes about 28.4kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 43kWh. Hastings Point 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.
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. Our solar panels work in Hastings Point also covers neighbouring Cabarita Beach, Pottsville and Bogangar, all within about 3km.
- Being close to the water, Hastings Point 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.

Hastings Point: a local snapshot
Aerial photos tell part of Hastings Point's story: between 1947 and 1962 its foredunes stood up to 16 metres high, but by 1977 they had dropped to between 6 and 9 metres. The area is traditional country of the Ngandowal and Minyungbal-speaking Bundjalung people and today forms part of Tweed Shire on the far north coast of NSW.
Hastings Point borders the South Pacific Ocean, with Cudgera Creek, Pottsville, Dum Dum, Round Mountain and Bogangar as neighbouring localities. At the 2011 census it had 582 residents and a median age of 62, well above the national median of 37. It sits in the Tweed state electorate and the federal Division of Richmond.

Solar panels in Hastings Point: 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 Hastings Point?
Most Hastings Point 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 Hastings Point?
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. Essential Energy 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 Hastings Point?
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 Hastings Point 2489 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Hastings Point is part of our Tweed Heads & Tweed Coast service area in the Tweed Shire Council area, and we regularly work in Cabarita Beach, Pottsville, Bogangar, Tanglewood. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
