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. From Murwillumbah to nearby South Murwillumbah and Dunbible, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Low-lying pockets of Murwillumbah sit inside council flood mapping. Where it matters we mount inverters and batteries above the flood planning level and keep isolators easy to reach.

Getting to know Murwillumbah
Timber-getters came to the Tweed in the 1840s, but the town site was not surveyed until 1872 and became a village on 31 March 1879. The railway arrived in 1894 and a municipality followed in 1902. On 15 September 1907, remembered as Red Sunday, fire destroyed most of the business district, which was rebuilt in brick within a year.
Murwillumbah sits on the Tweed River in the south-eastern foothills of the McPherson Range, with Mount Warning (Wollumbin) close by. Many buildings are Art Deco, and the main streets have cafes, clothes shops and antique shops. Flood levees protect the town centre, the heritage-listed station marks the start of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, and the Tweed Regional Gallery is nearby. Sugarcane is the main industry outside tourism.

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