Upper Mount Gravatt: a local snapshot
The state school opened in 1929 and Catholic schools followed, with St Bernard's in 1953, Clairvaux in 1966 and St Catherine's in 1973. The big change came in 1970, when Westfield opened a $10 million shopping centre on an 11 hectare site. In 1985 the MacKillop and Clairvaux colleges merged into the school that still operates today.
Logan Road runs right through, connecting Mount Gravatt to the north with Eight Mile Plains to the south, and the Pacific Motorway and busway form the western edge. Westfield Mt Gravatt is the focal point, with a bus interchange underneath and the Garden City library inside. The bowls club, the Vultures AFL club on Klumpp Road and Malinya Place Park keep weekends busy.

Solar panels in Upper Mount Gravatt: 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 Upper Mount Gravatt?
Most Upper Mount Gravatt 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 Upper Mount Gravatt?
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 Upper Mount Gravatt?
Yes. We install on concrete and terracotta tiles, corrugated iron, Colorbond and Klip-Lok, with tilt frames where a flat roof needs them.

Yes. Upper Mount Gravatt is part of our Brisbane Southside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in MacGregor, Wishart, Nathan, Mount Gravatt. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
