Solar panels in Sunnybank Hills, installed properly
A family solar company that measures your roof, explains the numbers and installs it right the first time.
Why Sunnybank Hills 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 Sunnybank Hills quote starts with a free measure of your roof.
A typical 6.6kW system in Sunnybank Hills makes about 27.7kWh a day on average across the year, while a 10kW system makes about 42kWh. Sunnybank Hills 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.
Brisbane's southside covers older post-war suburbs like Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, the busy family areas around Sunnybank, Mansfield and Carindale, and newer pockets at Pallara and Forest Lake.

Sunnybank Hills: a local snapshot
Originally a slice of Coopers Plains, the area was known as Sunnybank Hills long before its official boundaries were set in 1971. The railway line from Yeerongpilly had come through in 1885. Growth picked up in the late 1970s, when the autism education centre opened in 1977 and Sunnybank Hills State School in 1979. The library followed in 1987.
Ridges and hills rise across the suburb, while the lower northern and eastern parts turn marshy near the stations. Calamvale Creek wetlands provide wildfowl habitat on the edge. Shauna Downs, Pinelands and Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown cover shopping. About 85 per cent of homes are stand-alone houses, mostly modern brick and tile with some post-war weatherboard. The state primary school is one of Brisbane's largest.

Solar panels in Sunnybank Hills: 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 Sunnybank Hills?
Most Sunnybank Hills 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 Sunnybank Hills?
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 Sunnybank Hills?
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 Sunnybank Hills 4109 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Sunnybank Hills is part of our Brisbane Southside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in Algester, Acacia Ridge, Sunnybank, Runcorn. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
