Solar panels in Rothwell, installed properly
A family solar company that measures your roof, explains the numbers and installs it right the first time.
Why Rothwell 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 Rothwell quote starts with a free measure of your roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Rothwell makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Rothwell 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. Our solar panels work in Rothwell also covers neighbouring Kippa-Ring, Mango Hill and Newport, all within about 4km.
- Newer homes in Rothwell usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

Rothwell: a local snapshot
The suburb is named after Thomas James Rothwell, president of the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland, who in 1921 proposed the tree lined memorial drive that became Anzac Avenue. A monument to him went up in 1933. An 1880s estate called the Isle of Man was offered but never sold. Rothwell was officially named in July 1970, and Grace Lutheran College moved here in 1980, followed by Mueller College in 1990.
On the western side of the Redcliffe Peninsula, Rothwell runs from Deception Bay in the north to Saltwater Creek in the south. The Nathan Road Wetlands Reserve fills the north, and the council owned Redcliffe Aerodrome sits in the north east. Shoppers use The Zone, Woolworths and Bunnings on Anzac Avenue, and the train station links to a 12.6 km cyclepath. Low ground near Saltwater Creek is prone to flooding.

Call 0449 942 735How much does solar cost in Rothwell?
Most Rothwell 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 Rothwell?
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 Rothwell?
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 Rothwell 4022 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Rothwell is part of our North Brisbane & Moreton Bay service area in the City of Moreton Bay area, and we regularly work in Kippa-Ring, Mango Hill, Newport, Deception Bay. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
