đ Call 0405 685 441 âď¸ Email Us For a QuoteAt Solair Electrical, we believe solar should never be a one-size-fits-all package. Thatâs why every single solar system installation starts with a proper on-site inspection, a sit-down consultation, and a system designed specifically for your energy needs, home layout, and future plans.
We donât send out cookie-cutter quotes based on satellite photos. We donât outsource installations to random subcontractors. We donât upsell you a 13kW system when a 6.6kW will serve you better.
We offer genuine, expert solar adviceâbecause we love what we do, and weâre here to do it properly.

What Makes Our Solar Design Process Different?
We Always Visit Your Property First
Before we even talk system sizes, we come to your home or business. We inspect:
- Your roof space and orientation
- Shading from trees or neighbouring structures
- Switchboard condition
- Existing cabling or battery infrastructure
- Access points and safety for install day
This means we catch challenges early, ensure compliance, and design a system that actually suits your home, not just your postcode.
We Sit Down and Go Over Your Power Bills With You
We donât just ask you for a usage estimateâwe help you understand your actual usage patterns. We look at:
- Daily usage trends (peak, off-peak)
- Tariffs and feed-in structures
- Bill cycles and seasonal variation
- Future energy use (e.g. EVs, battery, growing family)
From there, weâll design a system thatâs right-sized, not oversizedâso you're not spending more than you need to.
We Plan for the Future, Not Just the Present
If youâre considering:
- A Solar battery down the line
- A pool or spa
- EV charger installation
- Home extension
- Future additions to the family
- Our solar installations are catered to your families needs now and in the future
Weâll factor that in nowâso you donât end up with a system that needs costly upgrades later.

Solar Installation in Brisbane â Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really come out and inspect every property before quoting solar?
Yes â every quote includes a full onâsite inspection by a solar expert. We walk your roof, check the switchboard, measure angles, assess shading and chat through your future energy plans before we design anything. Thatâs the Solair Electrical difference.
Why is a site inspection important for solar design?
Satellite quoting is quick, but risky. Without seeing your property you can end up with:
- Panels in the wrong position
- Shading problems
- An undersized or oversized system
- Average install outcomes on the day
We believe you deserve better â so we show up in person.
Will you just try to sell me the biggest solar system you can?
No. We rightâsize systems based on:
- Your actual usage
- Timeâofâday habits
- Future upgrades like EVs or pools
- Budget and feedâin tariff considerations
We wonât push a 13Â kW if a 6.6Â kW will do the job properly.
Can you help me understand my power bills and usage?
Absolutely. In our consult we review your bills and explain:
- How much power you use and when
- What portion solar will cover
- Projected savings
- Feedâin rates vs battery potential
So you can make a confident decision.
How long does it take from site visit to solar install?
- Site inspection: within 1â3 days of enquiry
- Quote: within 6 hours of the visit (often same day)
- Install: usually 1â2 weeks after acceptance (weather/availability depending)
Weâre fast â but never rushed.
What panel and inverter brands do you use?
We use Tierâ1 panels and trusted inverters, including:
- Fronius, Sungrow, GoodWe, Solax, SMA
- REC, Jinko, Aiko (and more as suitable)
The best combo is recommended for your needs and budget â not just whatâs trending.
Can you upgrade my switchboard or isolate unsafe wiring?
Yes. As needed we can:
- Upgrade or replace old switchboards
- Fit compliant RCDs and isolators
- Replace UVâdamaged cabling or old junction boxes
- Clean up previous poor workmanship
Youâll be safe, neat and compliant.
Do you handle everything inâhouse or use subcontractors?
Itâs all inâhouse. From consultation to install, our CECâaccredited team does the work â no random subcontractors.
Do I need council or Energex approval for solar?
We handle all gridâconnection paperwork for you, including submissions to Energex or Ergon if applicable. No stress, no chasing forms.
How long does a solar install take?
Most installs are completed in one day. Larger systems or battery jobs can take 1.5â2 days. Weâll confirm timing during quoting.
