Solar Panel Installation on the Sunshine Coast
Reliable Solar Power on the Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast averages over 280 days of sunshine a year, which makes it one of the strongest solar regions in Queensland. With residential power prices in Energex’s south-east QLD network continuing to climb, switching to solar is one of the most direct ways for local homeowners and businesses to lock in lower bills for the next 25 years.
Greenlight Solar has been installing rooftop solar across Queensland for more than 20 years. From our QLD office at Ashmore, our installation teams service the full Sunshine Coast region, including Maroochydore, Caloundra, Noosa, Buderim, Mooloolaba, Coolum Beach, Nambour, Kawana Waters and Sippy Downs. Every system we design is tailored to the home, the roof orientation and the household’s daytime usage pattern, not pulled off a one-size-fits-all template.
Whether you need a starter 6.6kW system, a larger 13.3kW setup for a family home, or a commercial array for your Sunshine Coast business, we can put a fully designed quote in front of you within 24 hours.

Claim the Federal Solar Battery Rebate on the Sunshine Coast
The Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program now offers Sunshine Coast households a substantial discount on the upfront cost of a solar battery when installed alongside a new or existing solar system. Combined with Queensland STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates), the effective payback period on a battery has shortened significantly in 2026.
We handle the paperwork end to end. Our team confirms your eligibility, registers the system, and applies the rebate at point of sale so there’s no out-of-pocket waiting period. Learn more about the federal battery rebate.

EV Charger Installation on the Sunshine Coast
With electric vehicle adoption growing fast across south-east Queensland, more Sunshine Coast homeowners are pairing solar with home EV charging. Charging your EV from rooftop solar during the day is the most cost-effective way to run an electric vehicle.
Our team installs CEC-approved home EV chargers integrated with your solar system, so you can charge your car directly from excess solar generation.
Heat Pump Hot Water Systems on the Sunshine Coast
Hot water typically accounts for 25% to 30% of a household’s energy bill. Switching to a heat pump can cut that cost by up to 70%, and pairs perfectly with rooftop solar by running during daylight hours on free solar power.
We supply and install two trusted heat pump brands across the Sunshine Coast:
- iStore Heat Pump – 270L capacity, suited to 3 to 5 person households
- Emerald Heat Pump – Premium efficiency with 5-year product warranty
Both qualify for STC rebates and finance options. See our heat pump installation service.
