Frequently Asked Questions
About Solar Power
What does SolarGreen do?
We're a full service solar power installation company. We provide customized systems throughout southeast Queensland. We service residential, commercial, and government customers.
How are you different from other companies?
Many solar power companies provide kits to their customers. We're different: we provide custom designed systems tailored to the precise needs of each customer. This helps to maximize return on investment.
How much do you charge for the initial consultation?
It's FREE and you'll quickly discover how you can save thousands plus help the environment.
What do you cover in the free initial consultation?
We examine your power bills to size a system to suit your needs. We take a look at your property to see if it's suitable for solar power. We'll design a system to reduce your bill or a scalable system that you can add to in the future. We can also install a system that may eliminate your power bill completely.
How much can I save?
The average Australian home spends more than $60,000 in electricity bills over 25 years. And this figure is likely to rise over the upcoming years: price increases have averaged 16% each year since 2009. Ouch! A solar power system can take a big bite out of this amount…AND you may be able to sell electricity back to the power company.
Isn't solar fairly simple to set up?
Yes and no. It's easy to get a system up and running—but don't try it if you're not an electrician! The real key is setting up the system so it's optimized for your site. That's why it's important to trust an installer who customizes solar power systems.
What can you use solar power for?
Running all the electricity in your home. Or heating hot water. Or both. We also provide solar thermal air conditioning.

What are the advantages of solar power?
Solar energy is:
- 'Green'
- Reliable.
- A strong long-term investment.
It can also increase the value of your property.
How quickly can solar be up and running?
It depends on the size of the installation and the property. It can take one day to several days.
Do I have to have a north facing roof?
While a north facing roof at about 30 degrees is ideal, we can also work with east and west facing roofs.
What about maintenance?
A solar power system requires very little maintenance as there are very few moving parts.
What size system do I need?
We've produced a grid you can see here.
Why is it so important to have a customized system installed?
There's an engineering reason: to design the most efficient system. There's an aesthetic reason: we want the solar power system to blend in with your architecture.
How do the numbers work here?
These numbers are based on the average electricity use for a household of 2-3 people that uses electricity for hot water and cooking: 7,300Kwh a year.
- A 1Kw system generates approximately 5Kwh per day or 1825 Kwh/year and will save 33% of average electricity use or $354/year.
- A 1.5Kw system generates around 2715 Kwh/year and save 70% of average electricity use or $750/year.
- A 2Kw system generates around 3620 Kwh/year and will save 92% of average electricity use or $984/year
- A 2Kw+ system will reduce your power bill to ZERO* with a return from your power company.
Note: savings vary depending on location and other factors.
