Solar Panels Heathwood: 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 Heathwood system around your roof, your shading and your bills.
A typical 6.6kW system in Heathwood makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Heathwood 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 southside covers older post-war suburbs like Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, the busy family areas around Sunnybank, Mansfield and Carindale, and newer pockets at Pallara and Forest Lake. We look after Heathwood and the surrounding suburbs of Larapinta, Doolandella and Forest Lake, so a free on-site measure in 4110 is easy to book.

About Heathwood
Heathwood was carved out of Acacia Ridge and became a suburb in its own right in 1970, although some records list 1975 as its start. The name honours an early settler of the district. Since then the area has developed along two separate tracks, with houses going up in the north and industry taking hold in the south west.
The Logan Motorway cuts the suburb in two. North of it are streets of homes, the south west is an industrial estate where Asahi Beverages operates, and the south east is still undeveloped. Oxley Creek runs along the south western boundary. Two bus routes serve the area, with trains from nearby Richlands. Pallara State School sits on the boundary for younger kids.

Call 0449 942 735How much does solar cost in Heathwood?
Most Heathwood 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 Heathwood?
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 Heathwood?
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 Heathwood 4110 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Heathwood is part of our Brisbane Southside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in Larapinta, Doolandella, Forest Lake, Ellen Grove. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
