Solar panels in Priestdale, installed properly
A family solar company that measures your roof, explains the numbers and installs it right the first time.
Why Priestdale 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 Priestdale quote starts with a free measure of your roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Priestdale makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Priestdale 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.

Priestdale: a local snapshot
Surveyors named Priest's Gully in the early 1860s, though nobody is sure who the priest was. By 1912 a 1,861 acre grazing property called Priestdale sat on the western branch of Tingalpa Creek. In 1916 it was cut into 50 farms of 20 to 40 acres and sold as fruit-growing land. Priestdale became a locality in 1979 and a suburb in 1991, and the Chung Tian Temple was built in bushland in 1992.
Only 160 people live in Priestdale. Rural residential blocks fill the north and north-east, while the south and west remain undeveloped, with Daisy Hill Conservation Park reaching into the middle and providing important koala habitat. The Chung Tian Temple on Underwood Road has a museum, gallery, tea room and meditation spaces. Underwood Park offers sports fields, barbecues and a wedding venue.

Solar panels in Priestdale: 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 Priestdale?
Most Priestdale 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 Priestdale?
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 Priestdale?
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 Priestdale 4127 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Priestdale is part of our Logan service area in the Logan City Council area, and we regularly work in Springwood, Daisy Hill, Rochedale South, Sheldon. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
