Solar & Battery — Brisbane, Gold Coast & South East QLD

Electrician-designed solar, premium panels & inverters, genuine 5-year workmanship warranty.

More than panels on a roof

A good solar system in South East Queensland is not just panels on a roof. It’s a custom electrical design that has to suit your usage, your roof, your switchboard, Energex connection rules and your plans for a battery or EV charger later. Energy Gate does the electrical details properly: panel layout, inverter matching, cable sizing, roof penetrations, protection, monitoring, grid paperwork and warranty registration.

Solar Panel Installation

What your solar installation includes

We handle the whole job end to end — the parts you don’t see (cable sizing, switchboard protection, earthing) are done properly to standard, which is exactly where cut-price installers cut corners.

Custom design based on your bill, roof, shading, switchboard and future battery or EV plans

Sized within ~133% DC:AC oversizing, on unshaded roof faces, with multi-MPPT inverters for different orientations

Correct cable sizing for Queensland heat, Type A protection, roof penetrations properly flashed

Energex connection application and export setting handled as part of the job

Electrical safety certificate and warranty registration provided on completion

Meter reconfiguration so your exports are correctly credited, with app monitoring checked at day one and again at about a month

How we size your system

The right size depends on how much electricity you use, when you use it, how much good roof space you have, and whether you want a battery or EV later. A 6.6kW system can still suit smaller homes, but many Brisbane and SEQ households now look at 10–13kW+ because air conditioning, pool pumps, batteries and EV charging all lift demand.

Solar Zone 3 and the rebate stepdown

South East Queensland is in solar Zone 3 for STC calculations, and in 2026 the rooftop solar deeming period is five years. That matters because the federal solar incentive steps down every January until the scheme ends in 2030 — sizing and timing both affect what you get back.

  I looked into the market to find a good battery system and more importantly a great installer to give me a peace of mind for this investment. After some time, i came across Energy gate and upon my conversations with them to find the most suitable system for my needs, their expertise and experience became clear to me and that was paramount to me and then signed the contract with them. The system was installed beautifully and neatly. Running perfectly since then. Fred is great to deal with, don’t go past EnergyGate.

  These guys are a truly excellent team. After requesting a solar battery, I was fortunate enough to have the installation completed within just two weeks. Once the battery was installed, Fred provided thorough care, offering detailed explanations about the product and important points to keep in mind. I discovered them through great reviews on Facebook, and I am extremely satisfied. I am currently considering a solar installation for my commercial shop as well, and if I go ahead with it, I would definitely like to get a quote from Fred again. Thank you!

  We couldn't be happier with the installation of our battery and solar panels. The team was professional, friendly, and completed the job to a very high standard. Everything was explained clearly, the installation was neat and efficient, and the system has been performing brilliantly. I highly recommend Energy Gate to anyone looking for quality workmanship and excellent customer service.

  I contacted Fred earlier on in my battery hunting process and he was prompt and fair with his quoting and didn’t push when we weren’t ready. When we finally were, he was able to do a very quick turnaround from deposit to install and had same day commissioning. Quality install at a great price. Exactly what we wanted

  I found Energy Gate's advertisement for Goodwe battery installs whilst scrolling Facebook Marketplace and decided to contact them for a quote. Fred, the business owner, was prompt to reply and gave good advice and a very competitive price for a premium Goodwe 15kw inverter and 16.6kw battery stack. I was initially hesitant, but after checking the company out online and finding only glowing  reviews I decided to give them a go. Fred, the owner of this local business, is a qualified solar installer and electrical engineer. Instead of dealing with a sales person from a large business, I could directly address all my concerns with the actual installer who also supplies backup service if necessary. I can honestly say that Fred explained everything patiently in easy to understand language and set the system up perfectly. It looks good and works well. I thorouly recommend this company for professional work and service, not to mention the great price. They truly deserve 5 stars!

  I had a great experience with Fred and his team. They installed a battery and solar system and did an amazing job. The install was very clean and they left my place like they hadn’t been there. It’s also great to engage directly with Fred and not have to go through salespeople who usually try to upsell. I thoroughly recommend Energy Gate to everyone. Give Fred a call!

Frequently Asked questions

Your questions, answered

How long do home batteries last, and what is the warranty?

Modern batteries are built for daily charging and discharging over many years, and quality units are warranted to retain a healthy share of capacity across a 10 to 12-year period. FoxESS, for example, warrants at least 70% capacity retention, with a 12-year term on the CQ6. We register the warranty for you, and our own 5-year written workmanship warranty covers the installation.

Are home batteries safe?

The batteries we install use LFP chemistry, the safest mainstream chemistry for home storage, and each has a built-in battery management system monitoring temperature, voltage and charge. Several models add further fire-safety features. Installed correctly to Australian standards by a qualified electrician, a quality home battery is a safe addition to your home.

What rebates apply, and can I get both?

Two separate federal incentives apply, and a combined system can use both. Your panels earn small-scale technology certificates (STCs) under the long-running solar scheme. Your battery earns a separate discount under the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. Both come off your price upfront, and we itemise each one so you can see what the solar and the battery each contribute.

Which circuits can I back up, and for how long?

You can usually choose your essentials: lights, fridge and freezer, internet, power points and often an air conditioner. Runtime depends on the battery’s stored capacity and what you run. Backing up the whole home including the heaviest loads is possible but costs more, so we help you decide what is worth protecting.

Can a battery run my whole house, including air conditioning?

It can, within its power rating. A well-sized battery comfortably runs everyday loads and a typical air conditioner, though very heavy simultaneous loads can exceed what a single battery delivers at once. We design around how your household actually uses power, and where needed a higher-power battery or a multi-module system handles bigger demand.

What size battery do I need?

It depends on how much power you use after dark, how much surplus solar you have to store, and whether you want backup. Too small and you are buying grid power by mid-evening. Far too large and it may never fully charge or pay for itself. We size it to your real evening and overnight usage and explain the trade-offs.

Is a battery worth it in South East Queensland?

For many SEQ homes, yes. The federal rebate has cut the upfront cost, export credits are low, and local households have high evening and air-conditioning loads. A battery is most valuable if you have plenty of surplus daytime solar and real usage after dark. We give you a straight, conservative assessment rather than assuming it always stacks up.
