Why Redlands solar is different
Bay-effect clear skies, salt-air on the foreshore, and ferry-only islands with grid limits — Redlands solar needs locally specced hardware and barge-experienced crews.
Bay-effect clear skies
Moreton Bay's sea-breeze pattern keeps Redlands skies clearer than inner Brisbane — 5.3 peak-sun hours and around 10,000 kWh/year from a 6.6kW system.
Salt-rated mounting standard
Cleveland, Wellington Point, Victoria Point, Redland Bay — anywhere within 5 km of the bay needs 316 stainless and IP66 isolators. Fitted as standard.
Bay-island specialists
We install on North Stradbroke, Macleay, Russell, Lamb and Karragarra Islands — barge-handled materials, off-grid and hybrid systems with battery backup for ferry-only locations.
Strong Energex payback
Energex tariffs at 33–36c/kWh and FiT at 4–6c mean a 10kW Redlands install typically pays back in about 3.3 years from self-consumption.
Battery-ready by default
Storm-season blackouts and bay-island grid limits make storage especially valuable. Every system is wired battery-ready for Powerwall 3, Sungrow SBH or BYD HVS.
Local Redlands crews
Installation teams based in Capalaba and Cleveland — not Brisbane subcontractors. Same-week mainland bookings, scheduled barge installs for the islands.
Bay-island? Get a hybrid, not a grid-tie
Southern Moreton Bay Islands have constrained grid feeds and frequent storm-season outages. A grid-tie system shuts down in a blackout. A hybrid with battery keeps your fridge, lights and pump running — and the price difference is small over the system's life.
