From energy offset to off-the-grid independence, talk with our team of solar panel experts.
Solar panels in Gold Coast are a great way to add to the value of your home. You can reduce your overall energy bills, and the systems can pay for themselves, usually in less than 7 years. At Nationwide Solar Solutions, we have experience installing solar panels in Gold Coast and the region’s 80+ suburbs including Arundel, Southport, Helensvale, Labrador, and Upper Coomera. When you’re ready to go solar anywhere in the Gold Coast or anywhere across Australia, we’re here to help!
At a high level, solar panels contain silicon cells that capture the energy produced by the sun’s rays. These photovoltaic cells generate direct current (DC) energy that is processed by an inverter and converted into usable alternating current (AC) energy. This power makes its way to your home’s electrical panel.
From there, the power goes toward powering your home and meeting your immediate energy needs. If you produce more energy than you need at the time, you can either charge up a solar battery or pass it back to the utility grid. If it goes to your electricity provider, you’ll receive a credit, or Feed-In Tariff, that further offsets the costs of your power.

While you can certainly stay connected to the main utility grid to receive your electricity, there are quite a few benefits to going with solar panels in Gold Coast.

Only a licensed installer can determine this for sure after visiting your home. They will be checking the following:
The amount of power your solar panels in Gold Coast produce is directly tied to how much exposure they have to the sun. North-facing systems typically have the greatest exposure and will produce the most energy. In contrast, a system oriented to the south will generate less. Southern exposure does not mean that you can’t have solar panels on your home. But you might need more of them to get the amount of power you need.
The cost of a solar panel system will vary based on a few factors. Generally, the more power you need to generate, the more panels you will need. And the bigger the system, the higher the price. Here’s a table to help demonstrate the average costs for solar panels in Gold Coast:
| System Size | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| 3 kW | $4,500 |
| 5 kW | $5,500 |
| 6.6 kW | $6,500 |
| 10 kW | $10,000 |
The solar rebate is a government incentive meant to help Queensland residents to choose the cleanest and cheapest energy. With this program, the government pays up to a third of the cost of solar systems to eligible individuals. The amount of the solar rebate in Queensland is $ 2,797. Professional installers typically manage the rebate process for you, and the cost you are quoted should include all applicable discounts.
Solar panels tend to be very durable. They’re designed for all-weather conditions, and when professionally installed, you should not need to worry about them much at all. Most systems have a minimum 10-year warranty, if not more, which will cover you in the event that something does stop working.
This is not a good idea at all. To start with, you could injure yourself or damage your home. Any work done on your solar panel system by anyone other than a licensed and insured installer will void warranties and could be quite costly in the long run. Also, if you try to install a system yourself, you will not be eligible for any rebate incentives. These are only available when installed through a CEC-accredited professional.
Not all solar panel installers are created equal. When choosing a provider and installer for your home or business, be sure to ask these important questions.
Most solar panel systems come backed by a 10-year warranty for parts from the manufacturer. In addition, they all include guarantees for how long they are expected to produce power and the minimum amount of power you can expect per year. Installers may offer additional warranties or guarantees on their workmanship or extend offers from manufacturers.

According to applicable law, installing an electrical system involves risks both for the installer and for third parties. For that reason, in Queensland, it is necessary to have a QBCC contractor’s license to carry out any work related to solar panels as long as the value of the work, including the cost of materials, exceeds $3,300.
The feed-in-tariff is a payment given to solar system owners from the electrical company in compensation for the excess electricity that your system generates and exports to the grid. This typically happens in extremely sunny months where production is high but your energy needs have not risen. The result is creating more electricity than you use.
Tariffs are handled in two different ways. A net feed-in-tariff is paid for the amount of energy generated by the solar system. On the other hand, the gross feed-in-tariff pays a premium for the entire amount of electrical energy generated. In Australia, net feed-in tariff is very common.
The system size is dictated by how much energy you consume and the amount of equipment needed to meet that demand. For example, a 1.5 kW system provides coverage between 16-25% of the electricity consumption of a medium-sized home. Conversely, 4-6.6 kW solar systems are usually able to cover all of the electricity consumption in Australian houses.
Yes. In fact, it may already be covered by your current home insurance policy. In any case, it is convenient that you have a meeting with your insurance advisor to verify if this is the case or if you need to make adjustments to your policy.
Of course. Users can purchase additional solar panels to increase power generation. However, you may need to replace your inverter with a more powerful one. You can also choose to add a solar battery to your overall system at any time.
