How to Choose the Best Solar Installer in Mackay & Townsville
Choosing the right solar installer in Mackay is just as important as choosing the right panels. Not all installations are equal, especially in North Queensland conditions.
Here’s what to look for.
1. Local Experience in Mackay
Solar in North Queensland must withstand:
Cyclone-rated wind zones
High humidity
Extreme heat
Coastal corrosion
An installer familiar with North Queensland requirements will design systems accordingly.
2. Proper Electrical Licensing
Solar installation isn’t just panel mounting, it’s complex electrical work.
Your installer should be fully licensed for:
Electrical work
Grid connections
Inverter installation
Battery integration
3. Understanding of Ergon Energy Connections
In regional Queensland, Ergon Energy governs grid connection approvals.
A quality installer will:
Manage paperwork
Ensure compliance
Avoid delays
4. System Design (Not Just Sales)
Avoid companies offering “one-size-fits-all” packages.
Every North Queensland home or business has different:
Energy usage
Roof layout
Shading factors
Future battery plans
A proper assessment matters.
5. Reviews That Mention Solar in Mackay or Townsville
Look for Google reviews that specifically mention:

This signals real local experience.
