Solar panels in Newport, installed properly
Tier 1 panels, proven inverters and a clean install from a team that answers the phone after the job is done.
Solar panels for Newport, planned around your home
Whether it is your first system or you are replacing an old one, we size solar for Newport homes around real usage, not the biggest number we can fit on the roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Newport makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Newport 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.
North Brisbane and Moreton Bay run from Albany Creek and Strathpine through North Lakes and Narangba to Caboolture and Bribie Island, taking in the Redcliffe Peninsula and acreage around Samford and Dayboro. From Newport to nearby Kippa-Ring and Scarborough, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Newport 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.

Getting to know Newport
Newport began as the Newport Waterways housing estate in the late 1970s, and water first flowed into its canals in 1979. For decades the area was split between Scarborough and Kippa-Ring. An attempt in the 1990s to make it a suburb failed, but Redcliffe City Council tried again in 2006 and Newport was gazetted in August 2008. New canal stages are still being dug to the west.
Canals define Newport, with homes backing onto the water and boats moored at the end of the garden. Spinnaker Park was voted Australia's favourite playground in 2021, and Mariner Plaza handles everyday shopping. More than ten smaller parks are scattered between the streets. There are no schools inside the suburb, so students head to Scarborough, Kippa-Ring or Redcliffe.

Solar panels in Newport: 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 Newport?
Most Newport 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 Newport?
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 Newport?
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 Newport 4020 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Newport is part of our North Brisbane & Moreton Bay service area in the City of Moreton Bay area, and we regularly work in Kippa-Ring, Scarborough, Redcliffe, Rothwell. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
