Solar panels in Kirra, installed properly
A family solar company that measures your roof, explains the numbers and installs it right the first time.
Why Kirra 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 Kirra quote starts with a free measure of your roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Kirra makes about 28.4kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 43kWh. Kirra 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. Our solar panels work in Kirra also covers neighbouring Rainbow Bay, Tweed Heads and Coolangatta, all within about 2km.
- Being close to the water, Kirra 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.

Kirra: a local snapshot
Kirra was seldom visited by Europeans before 1840, and holidaymakers only began arriving after that. In April 1914, 18 residential and business sites went under the hammer, and the opening of the South Coast Road in the 1930s made family camping popular. The name comes from Kirra Hill, which first appears on an 1883 survey plan and is believed to be Indigenous, though its meaning is unconfirmed.
Kirra is a beachside neighbourhood within Coolangatta. Kirra Point, a small rocky headland, divides Kirra Beach from Coolangatta Beach and is a famous surf break, although sand pumping from the Tweed River mouth since 2001 has changed how it breaks. Kirra Hill, the Kirra Surf Life Saving Club and the big and little groynes are all familiar sights.

Solar panels in Kirra: 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 Kirra?
Most Kirra 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 Kirra?
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 Kirra?
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 Kirra 4225 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Kirra is part of our Southern Gold Coast service area in the City of Gold Coast area, and we regularly work in Rainbow Bay, Tweed Heads, Coolangatta, Bilinga. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
