Solar Panels Strathpine: 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 Strathpine system around your roof, your shading and your bills.
A typical 6.6kW system in Strathpine makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Strathpine 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 Strathpine and the surrounding suburbs of Lawnton, Bald Hills and Bray Park, so a free on-site measure in 4500 is easy to book.

About Strathpine
During the Gympie gold rush of the 1860s, Strathpine grew as an offshoot of North Pine, now Petrie. Sugar mills and rum distilleries operated here late in the 1800s. Queensland Railways chose the name in the 1880s, joining the Scottish strath, a valley, with the Pine River. An army camp and airfield in World War II brought a population surge, and the Strathpine Centre opened in 1983.
Gympie Road runs through the middle with the North Coast railway alongside, giving two stations, Strathpine and Bray Park. Strathpine Centre doubles as the bus interchange. Many businesses and government offices are based here, including Pine Rivers district offices of the City of Moreton Bay. The old Pine Rivers Shire Hall is heritage-listed, and Pine Rivers Park sits on Gympie Road.

Solar panels in Strathpine: 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 Strathpine?
Most Strathpine 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 Strathpine?
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 Strathpine?
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 Strathpine 4500 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Strathpine is part of our North Brisbane & Moreton Bay service area in the City of Moreton Bay area, and we regularly work in Lawnton, Bald Hills, Bray Park, Brendale. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
