Queensland benefits from solar panel systems, as the sunshine state. This makes the state a complete solar energy powerhouse, according to leading solar installation company, Springers Solar. At the beginning of July 2023, there were over nine hundred and sixty thousand small scale systems, less than 100kW, installed across the state. This shows that forty four percent of dwellings have embraced solar, thirty percent of which are in Brisbane.

The small scale solar panel systems that are installed throughout Queensland, represent more than 5.54GW of capacity. As of December 2022, the population in Queensland was recorded at 5.3 million, showing that there is more than 1kW of solar power installed per capita. In addition to this, there are numerous large scale solar panel power stations being introduced throughout the state. The local government has a goal of fifty percent renewable energy generation capacity in the next seven years, with solar panel systems playing a vital role to reach this target.

In Brisbane, every small kilowatt of panels installed generates around 4.2 kilowatt-hours of power daily. A large majority of Queensland homes are choosing larger systems to get the best return on their investment. This helps them reduce main grid electricity consumption and enjoy a feed in tariff.

Joe Springer, the Manager at Springers Solar, the number 1 solar panel system specialist in Brisbane, said “Over thirty percent of the homes in Brisbane has solar panels on their roofs, this is the highest rates of any other Australian capital city. Brisbane residents have embraced solar panel systems in a city that enjoys a lot of sunshine throughout the year. On average Brisbane receives around 5.2 hours of peak sun per square metre on any given day.”

The Federal Government provides a rebate that indirectly provides an up-front discount on the cost of installing a solar panel system through small scale technology certificates. This is applied to the clients system price by the installer. It is not something the home or business owner needs to claim directly. The value of the incentive is determined by a number of factors including system size and location. On average it works out to approximately thirty to forty percent of the total installation cost.
