Solar panels for Paddington homes
Paddington is one of Brisbane's oldest residential suburbs, with timber workers' cottages and Queenslanders packed onto small, steep blocks along ridges like Given and Latrobe Terraces. Roof space is often tight and split into small sections, so panel choice and layout matter more here than in most suburbs.
Late 1800s and early 1900s timber cottages and Queenslanders with corrugated iron roofs, often steep, narrow and broken up by gables, verandahs and skylights.
Paddington is on the Energex network. Many older homes here have original or partly upgraded switchboards, which we check before any solar or battery work.

Frequently asked questions — Paddington
A quality 6.6kW solar system in Paddington typically costs $5,000–$8,000 after the federal STC rebate. Larger 10–13kW systems range from $8,000–$12,000 installed. The exact price depends on your roof type, panel brand and inverter choice. We provide detailed written quotes with no obligation.
For most Paddington homes, a 6.6kW system is a common starting point — offsetting 60–80% of a typical household's daytime usage. Homes with higher bills, pools or EV chargers often benefit from 10–13kW. We model your system against your actual energy bills before recommending a size.
Battery storage is increasingly worthwhile in Paddington, particularly with feed-in tariffs dropping. A battery lets you use more of what your panels generate rather than exporting it cheaply. Payback periods for battery systems are typically 6–9 years and improving. We'll show you the numbers before you commit.
Most residential solar installations in Paddington are completed in one day. From quote to installation is typically 2–4 weeks, including grid connection approval from Energex. We handle all the paperwork and approvals.
Yes — we install EV chargers across Paddington and surrounding areas. Pairing an EV charger with solar lets you charge your vehicle from your own panels during the day. We install AC chargers (7kW) and can advise on DC fast chargers for commercial applications.
