Solar Panels Petrie: 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 Petrie system around your roof, your shading and your bills.
A typical 6.6kW system in Petrie makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Petrie 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. We look after Petrie and the surrounding suburbs of Lawnton, Kallangur and Bray Park, so a free on-site measure in 4502 is easy to book.

About Petrie
Thomas Petrie built his Murrumba homestead on the Pine River in 1858 and later subdivided land for a town called North Pine. The railway station took the Petrie name in 1911, and the suburb followed. The big change came in 1957, when a paper mill opened on a 250-hectare former dairy site, turning a small farming town into a residential area. The North Pine School of Arts dates from 1889.
The North Pine River runs along the south and Yebri Creek the south-east, with old pine plantations and farmland now being built on. The town centre stretches along Gympie Road, Dayboro Road and Anzac Avenue. The University of the Sunshine Coast has a campus on the old mill site, and Petrie station connects to Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and Kippa-Ring.

Solar panels in Petrie: 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 Petrie?
Most Petrie 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 Petrie?
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 Petrie?
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 Petrie 4502 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Petrie is part of our North Brisbane & Moreton Bay service area in the City of Moreton Bay area, and we regularly work in Lawnton, Kallangur, Bray Park, Joyner. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
