Different network, different rules

Northern NSW is not on the Queensland network. Homes here are on Essential Energy, with their own connection rules and export limits, and NSW has its own energy programs that change from time to time. The federal solar and battery rebates still apply. We check what applies to your home and show it on your quote. More in our Northern NSW solar and battery guide.

What we look at

Your usage

We size from how and when you use power, not from the bill alone.

Coast and hinterland

Salt air near the beach, shade and slopes in the hills. The design changes with both.

Batteries

Useful for evenings and backup in storm season. We tell you if one does not suit you yet.

Switchboards

Older homes may need work first. We check before we quote.

Where we work in Northern NSW

We cover the Tweed and Byron areas: Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Kingscliff, Pottsville, Murwillumbah, Ocean Shores, Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay. If you are further south, call us and we will tell you honestly whether we can look after you properly.

Buying direct from the installer

Many national retailers sell the job and hand it to an installer you have never met. When you buy direct from Green Coast, it works like this.

How it works

  1. A free phone or video chatAbout your home, your power bills, when you use power, and what you want: lower bills, backup, an EV, or all three. No pressure, no obligation.
  2. An on-site assessment and designIf it is a fit, one of our tradesmen checks the roof, shading and switchboard, then we design the system around how your household uses power.
  3. A written quoteEvery price comes in writing, after the site visit. Rebates are shown as a discount on the quote. Quotes are valid for 30 days.
  4. The install, by our own teamNo subcontractors. We handle the paperwork, grid connection and rebate lodgement, then stay on call for support.

Warranties
