For Brisbane builders
Solar for Brisbane builders. Trade-direct, fixed-price, single-visit install.
Trade Solar runs install crews across the Brisbane LGA — from Wynnum to Forest Lake, Bracken Ridge to Algester. We coordinate to your roof-on date, lodge your STC rebate, and hand the warranty exit to the homeowner. You add solar to the selections sheet and keep the margin.
Why Brisbane
High solar yield. Compliance heat. Buyer expectation.
Brisbane sits in NCC climate zone 2. Average daily solar irradiance is around 5.2 kWh/m² — among the highest in metropolitan Australia. A 6.6 kW system on a north-facing roof generates roughly 9,500 kWh per year here, which clears the 7-star NatHERS threshold under NCC 2022 on a typical project home. Brisbane buyers also expect solar; CoreLogic resale data shows solar-equipped homes in the metro selling for ~3-4% more and ~9 days faster on average.

What changes on the day.

Energex grid connection
We lodge connection applications at install. Most Brisbane City Council, Logan, Ipswich, and Moreton Bay areas approve within 5–10 business days.

Bushfire overlay handling
Some BCC and Logan estates fall in BAL-12.5/19 zones. Mounting hardware and cable shrouding are spec-adjusted automatically; no upcharge on Trade Solar packages.
-
Cyclone region B
All Trade Solar mounting is rated to AS/NZS 1170.2 region B wind loads as standard.

Roof aspect mapping
We map the primary roof plane on submission. North-facing primary is ideal; east-west splits common in Brisbane infill blocks are factored in at design.
