Tweed Heads runs on Gold Coast time but sits in New South Wales, and that border matters more for solar than most people realise. Incentives, network rules and installer licensing all change at the state line. Tom Sexton’s local team has installed across the Tweed and Northern Rivers for more than twelve years, licensed in NSW under 41424BC, and we quote your home under the rules that actually apply to your address.
Federal small-scale certificate incentives apply on both sides of the border, but state programs do not travel. A Tweed Heads address is quoted under NSW schemes, while your neighbours a few streets away in Coolangatta are under Queensland’s. The two states run different incentive programs with different eligibility rules, and quotes built for Queensland addresses regularly mislead Tweed residents about what they will actually pay.
We confirm which incentives your address and your chosen system are eligible for as part of the quote, show the workings, and never bake an assumed rebate into a headline price. If a Gold Coast sales office has quoted you something that looks too good, we are happy to explain the difference.
Tweed Heads and Banora Point have some of the highest concentrations of tiled roofs in our service area, a legacy of when these suburbs were built. Tiles are a perfectly good home for solar, but they punish rushed work: cracked tiles, dodgy grinding and roof leaks that show up months later are the classic marks of a rushed install done against the clock.
Our installers work on tiles with proper tile brackets, replace anything that cracks during the job, and leave the roof watertight. We stand behind that with a five year installation warranty.
Summer storms tracking down from southeast Queensland bring wind and hail through the Tweed every year. No installer can promise a roof full of glass is immune to weather, and you should be wary of any who does. What we can do is install to the wind loading standards this area requires, choose hardware rated for it, and use panels built with durability in mind, like the Trina Vertex S+ range, which is dual glass across all six residential models. After a serious storm we would rather you call us for a check than climb up yourself.
A lot of Tweed Heads lives in townhouses and strata complexes, and solar is possible more often than people think. If you own a townhouse with your own roof and meter, the main hurdle is body corporate approval, and a tidy proposal with panel layout and specifications usually gets it over the line. We prepare that documentation as part of the quote. For larger strata schemes and shared roofs, the design conversation is different, and we will tell you honestly what is and is not workable for your building.
Tell us about your place and your bills, and we organise a quick consultation.
We design for your roof and confirm your NSW incentive eligibility in the quote.
Our team installs everything, tiles treated with respect, usually in one or two days.
We set up monitoring and show you how to get the most from your system.
Local support you can count on, including storm season check ups when you want them.
Tiled roofs and two storey homes take more care than a single storey tin shed, and the quote reflects that honestly. Call 0420 141 078 and we will give you a realistic range for your street and roof type over the phone.
Indicative starting price only, for a straightforward single storey tin roof install. Tiled roofs typically add to the figure for the extra mounting work, and your quote is fixed before we start. Federal small-scale certificate incentives typically reduce the out of pocket cost further, and we handle that paperwork for you.
It goes by your address, not your area code. Tweed Heads, Tweed Heads South, Banora Point and Terranora are all NSW, so NSW incentive programs apply, alongside the federal small-scale certificate scheme that covers both states. We confirm exactly what your address and system qualify for in your written quote, with the workings shown.
Yes. Tiled roofs need proper tile mounting brackets, careful footwork and a crew that replaces any tile that cracks during the job rather than siliconing over it. Every job we arrange is accountable to us, one local company, from quote to aftercare. Your roof is watertight when we leave, and we stand behind that with a five year installation warranty.
Quite often, yes. If your townhouse has its own roof area and its own meter, the main step is body corporate approval, and we prepare the panel layout drawings and specifications that make that approval easy to grant. For buildings with genuinely shared roofs the answer depends on the scheme, and we will give you a straight assessment before anyone spends money.
