Solar installer for builders building new homes in Queensland
Trade Solar is a solar installer for builders only. We design, supply and install solar on new homes across South East Queensland and the Toowoomba region, and we never sell to your homeowner direct. You get wholesale supply and install pricing, set your own selling price and keep the client. Send us your standard plans or a custom build and we reply within one business day with a design, a trade quote and upgrade options for your selections team. We install once the roof is on, commission during final fit, and look after the homeowner after handover.

§ Packages
Three packages your team can quote
Standard 6.6 kW (builder default): 14 x 475 W panels, Sungrow 5 kW inverter, optional 9.6 kWh battery.
Step-up 10 kW: 21 x 475 W panels, Sungrow 8 kW hybrid inverter, optional battery and EV charging.
Every package uses Jinko Tiger NEO panels and Sungrow inverters and is designed from your plan set. Pricing is quoted to the builder.
§ Coverage
Where we install
Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Redland, Moreton Bay and Toowoomba. Crews are booked to your roof-on dates.
§ Trade-only
Why builders use a trade-only installer
You keep the client relationship and the margin. One trade handles design, install, STC paperwork and homeowner support, so your site team and your office aren't chasing solar after handover. We're a family-owned and operated SEQ trade.
