Solar panels in Redland Bay, installed properly
A family solar company that measures your roof, explains the numbers and installs it right the first time.
Why Redland Bay 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 Redland Bay quote starts with a free measure of your roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Redland Bay makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Redland Bay 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.
The Redlands coast runs from Capalaba and Birkdale through Cleveland and Victoria Point to Redland Bay and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, with plenty of larger blocks around Mount Cotton and Sheldon. Our solar panels work in Redland Bay also covers neighbouring Carbrook, Victoria Point and Mount Cotton, all within about 7km.
- Being close to the water, Redland Bay 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.
- Newer homes in Redland Bay usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

Redland Bay: a local snapshot
Settlers came in the 1860s and farming and fishing carried the place for nearly a century, with estates auctioned through the 1880s. A rail extension was surveyed in 1889 but never built. Flying boats operated from here between 1953 and 1971. Farms were steadily subdivided from mid-century and suburban streets had largely replaced them by about 2002. The Aboriginal name, Talwalpin, refers to a cottonwood tree.
Stretching over 52 square kilometres at the southern tip of Redland City, it takes its name from the bay on its eastern side. The red soil comes from old iron-rich volcanic lava. Ferries leave here for Russell, Macleay, Karragarra, Lamb and North Stradbroke islands, and Scenic Shores State School opened in 2024 to keep up with the growth.

Solar panels in Redland Bay: 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 Redland Bay?
Most Redland Bay 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 Redland Bay?
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 Redland Bay?
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 Redland Bay 4165 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Redland Bay is part of our Redlands service area in the Redland City Council area, and we regularly work in Carbrook, Victoria Point, Mount Cotton, Macleay Island. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
