For Moreton Bay builders
Solar for Moreton Bay builders. Trade-direct, single-visit install.
North Lakes, Caboolture, Mango Hill — Trade Solar runs the Bruce Highway corridor weekly. Marine-grade hardware on Redcliffe Peninsula, BAL-rated mounting on D'Aguilar boundary, NatHERS-aligned spec sheets across the LGA.
Why Moreton Bay
High solar yield. Compliance heat. Buyer expectation.
Moreton Bay City is the second-largest detached-house LGA in SE QLD, with the Bruce Highway corridor (North Lakes through to Caboolture) driving most of the activity. NCC climate zone 2 delivers ~5.3 kWh/m² daily irradiance. Solar + battery is a particularly strong fit here for builders running release programs targeting first-home buyer demographics in the northern corridor.

Moreton Bay-specific
What changes on the day.
-
Northern growth-corridor scale
Moreton Bay City has the second-highest detached-build volume in SE QLD, with North Lakes, Caboolture, and Mango Hill driving most of it. Trade Solar runs standing weekly capacity along the Bruce Highway corridor.
-
Coastal corrosion (Redcliffe Peninsula)
Within 1 km of the bay (Kippa-Ring, Margate, Scarborough), we fit marine-grade stainless fasteners and anti-galvanic isolation pads. Standard inclusion.
-
BAL overlay handling
Estates near Whiteside, Dayboro, and the D'Aguilar Range carry BAL-12.5 / 19 ratings. Trade Solar's standard mounting satisfies these without upcharge.
-
Roof-aspect mapping
Mango Hill and North Lakes use mixed street orientations. We design split-array systems to help the Whole-of-Home energy budget even when north-facing area is constrained.
Trust
What builders can count on.
-
Behind the builder
We design, supply, and install for SEQ builders only. Homeowners talk to their builder, not to a retail sales desk.
-

-
Site-super updates
SMS before attendance (48 and 24 hours). Treat solar like any other scheduled trade.

FAQ
Builder questions, answered.
Do you sell solar direct to our buyers?
No. Trade Solar is trade-only. We sit behind your brand on the selections sheet. If a homeowner finds us, we send them back to their builder.
When does the crew come, and how long are they on site?
We lock one install slot to roof-on (and final-fit as programmed). The crew aims for a single visit for fit and commission, with SMS to the site super beforehand. Weekdays only, 7am–5pm Brisbane time.
Who handles STCs, Energex/Ergon, and warranty after handover?
We lodge the compliance pack (including STC paperwork) and connection requirements for Energex on Moreton Bay. After handover, the homeowner contacts Trade Solar for warranty and support, not your office.
