Solar panels in North Lakes, 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 North Lakes, planned around your home
Whether it is your first system or you are replacing an old one, we size solar for North Lakes homes around real usage, not the biggest number we can fit on the roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in North Lakes makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. North Lakes 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 North Lakes to nearby Dakabin and Mango Hill, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Newer homes in North Lakes usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

Getting to know North Lakes
Before the estate, this land bred police horses from 1891, then became a dairy, a pineapple farm and finally slash pine plantations. Lend Lease flagged a master planned community in 1995, and work began on a 1,000 hectare site in April 1999. Stockland took over Lensworth's share in 2004, and North Lakes was gazetted as its own suburb, separate from Mango Hill, in February 2006.
Built around Lake Eden, North Lakes was planned for roughly 8,500 homes, a town centre and a business park, and it has collected several industry awards for master planning. The library opened in 2014, and schools include North Lakes State College, The Lakes College and Bounty Boulevard State School. A 95 metre bridge over the Bruce Highway on Plantation Road links across to Dakabin.

Solar panels in North Lakes: 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 North Lakes?
Most North Lakes 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 North Lakes?
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 North Lakes?
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 North Lakes 4509 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. North Lakes is part of our North Brisbane & Moreton Bay service area in the City of Moreton Bay area, and we regularly work in Dakabin, Mango Hill, Kallangur, Kurwongbah. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
