The local picture
Installing in Queensland
Queensland leads the country on rooftop solar uptake per household, with busy crews on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns. Many installers also run battery and hot water work because of high household interest.
Energex covers south-east Queensland and Ergon covers most of the rest of the state. Approval and connection rules differ between them, and regional jobs can involve longer network lead times, so build that into your claim timing.
We settle jobs in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns and everywhere in between. For the general process, see STC trading or how it works.
Solar zones
What zone are you in?
Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast are Zone 3. Parts of far north Queensland, including around Cairns and further north and west, sit in Zones 1 and 2 and create more STCs per kW.
State incentives
Also on your radar
Queensland has run its own household energy programs from time to time. We do not quote figures for these because they change, so check the Queensland Government site for what is open, and keep federal STC paperwork separate from any state application.
