Solar FAQS

Costs, rebates, feed-in tariffs and payback for South East Queensland homes.

How much does solar cost in Moreton Bay or Brisbane in 2026?

A quality 6.6kW solar system in the Moreton Bay and North Brisbane region typically costs a few thousand dollars after the federal solar rebate (STC discount) is applied at the point of sale.

Final price depends on panel and inverter quality, roof type and any switchboard upgrades needed. The most accurate figure comes from a site-specific quote — call 0447 180 085 for one.

Is solar worth it in Queensland in 2026?

Yes — for most South East Queensland homes, solar remains a strong investment because the region gets some of the highest sunshine in Australia and grid power costs around 30 cents per kWh.

The biggest savings now come from using your own solar during the day rather than exporting it, since feed-in tariffs are low. Running your pool pump, hot water and air con while the sun is up is where the value sits.

How many solar panels do I need?

Most Moreton Bay homes suit a 6.6kW system — roughly 15 to 17 panels — but the right size depends on your power use, roof space and whether you'll add a battery or EV charger later.

A quick look at your last few electricity bills lets us size the system so you're not paying for capacity you won't use.

What solar rebates are available in Queensland in 2026?

The main solar incentive is the federal small-scale renewable energy scheme (STCs), applied as an upfront discount on your system price by an accredited installer.

The value steps down each year until the scheme ends in 2030, so installing sooner secures a larger discount. There's no separate state solar-panel rebate in Queensland.

What is the solar feed-in tariff in Queensland in 2026?

In South East Queensland (the Energex network covering Moreton Bay and North Brisbane) there's no government-mandated feed-in tariff — retailers set their own rates, with competitive plans around 8 to 10 cents per kWh in 2026.

Because exported power is worth far less than the ~30 cents you pay to buy it back, using your own solar or storing it in a battery delivers the best return. It's worth comparing the whole plan — usage and supply charges too, not just the feed-in rate.

How long do solar panels last?

Quality solar panels last 25 years or more and usually carry a 25-year performance warranty, while the inverter typically lasts 10 to 15 years.

Panels slowly lose a small percentage of output each year but keep generating well beyond their warranty period.

How long is the payback period on solar?

Most South East Queensland households pay off a well-sized solar system in roughly 3 to 6 years, after which the power it generates is effectively free.

Payback is faster when you run appliances like pool pumps, hot water and air conditioning during daylight hours.

Air conditioning

Install costs, sizing, split vs ducted, servicing and common faults.

How much does air conditioning installation cost?

A back-to-back split system install in the Moreton Bay region typically costs from around $600 to $900 in labour on top of the unit, while ducted systems run into several thousand dollars depending on the number of zones.

Final price depends on unit size, wall access and any electrical work needed.

What size air conditioner do I need for my room?

As a rough guide, allow about 0.125kW of cooling capacity per square metre — so a 30m² living room needs roughly a 3.5 to 4kW unit.

Ceiling height, insulation, windows and sun exposure all affect the result, so it's worth having the room assessed before buying.

Split system or ducted air conditioning — which is better?

Split systems are cheaper and ideal for cooling one or two rooms; ducted systems cost more upfront but quietly cool the whole home from a single controller.

The best choice depends on how many rooms you want to cool, your budget, and whether you'll run it from solar during the day.

Can I install air conditioning myself in Queensland?

No. Air conditioning installation involves both electrical work and handling refrigerant, which legally require a licensed electrician and an Arctick refrigerant licence.

Enhance Electrical and Solar holds Electrical Licence 169948 and Arctick L191590, so every install is fully compliant.

How often should my air conditioner be serviced?

Service your air conditioner about once a year, ideally before summer, to keep it running efficiently and avoid breakdowns when you need it most.

Regular cleaning of filters and coils also lowers running costs and improves air quality.

Why is my air conditioner not cooling?

Common causes are blocked or dirty filters, low refrigerant, a faulty capacitor, or an outdoor unit that needs cleaning.

Cleaning the filters is a safe first step, but low refrigerant or electrical faults need a licensed technician to diagnose and repair safely.

Solar Batteries & EV chargers

Storage costs, the current federal rebate, sizing and home EV chargers.

Is there still a battery rebate in Queensland?

Yes — the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program is the active rebate for Queensland homes in 2026, applied as an upfront discount with no paperwork for you.

The earlier Queensland Battery Booster grant closed in 2024, so any site still advertising it is out of date. We'll show the current rebate value on your quote.

What size solar battery do I need?

Most homes with a 6.6kW solar system and average evening use suit a 10 to 13.5kWh battery, which covers a typical night.

Larger households, homes charging an EV, or those wanting backup during outages may need more capacity. We size it around your actual evening usage.

Are solar batteries worth it?

Batteries make the most sense in 2026 when you have solar, higher evening power use, and want protection from rising bills or blackouts — especially with the federal rebate lowering the upfront cost.

Because feed-in tariffs are low, storing your daytime solar to use at night is now worth far more than exporting it.

How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?

A home EV charger (wallbox) install in Moreton Bay typically costs from around $1,200 to $2,500, depending on the charger, your switchboard and the cable run to the parking space.

A licensed electrician should always check your switchboard first to confirm it can handle the extra load.

Can I charge my electric car from my solar?

Yes — charging your EV from rooftop solar during the day is the cheapest way to run an electric car, and a great use of solar that would otherwise be exported for a low feed-in rate.

Smart chargers can be set to draw only from excess solar, so you charge for next to nothing.

Do I need an electrician to install an EV charger?

Yes. A home EV charger is hard-wired electrical work and must be installed by a licensed electrician in Queensland to be safe, legal and covered by warranty.

Enhance Electrical and Solar installs and configures home EV chargers under Electrical Licence 169948.

How much does a solar battery cost in Queensland in 2026?

After the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate, a typical 10kWh home battery in Queensland costs in the order of $7,000 to $9,000 installed.

The rebate covers roughly 30% of the cost and is applied directly to your quote — but it steps down over time, so earlier installation secures a higher discount.

Electrical work

Costs, licensing, emergencies, safety switches and smoke alarms.

How much does an electrician cost in Moreton Bay?

Most licensed electricians in Moreton Bay and North Brisbane charge a call-out fee plus an hourly rate, with small jobs often quoted as a fixed price.

The exact cost depends on the job, access and materials — we provide a clear upfront quote before any work starts.

Do I need a licensed electrician for small electrical jobs in Queensland?

Yes. In Queensland it's illegal and unsafe for an unlicensed person to carry out almost any fixed electrical work — including replacing power points, wiring lights or working in your switchboard.

Enhance Electrical and Solar holds Queensland Electrical Licence 169948, so every job is done legally, safely and to standard.

Do you offer emergency electrician services in North Brisbane?

Yes — we attend electrical faults and emergencies across Moreton Bay and North Brisbane, including loss of power, tripping safety switches and burning smells.

If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off the power at the main switch and call us on 0447 180 085.

Why does my power keep tripping or my lights keep flickering?

Repeated tripping or flickering usually points to an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, water in a circuit, or a loose or ageing connection.

It's a safety issue worth checking — a licensed electrician can test the circuits and find the fault rather than just resetting the switch.

How do I check that my electrician is licensed in Queensland?

Ask for the electrical contractor licence number and check it on the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) or Electrical Safety Office register.

Enhance Electrical and Solar operates under Electrical Licence 169948 and Contractors Licence 1500990, with SAA accreditation S8352729 and Arctick L191590 for refrigerant work.

Are smoke alarms compulsory, and can an electrician install them?

Yes. Queensland law requires interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in homes, with full compliance required for properties being sold, leased or under a new lease.

A licensed electrician can supply and install compliant interconnected alarms so they all sound together if one detects smoke.
