What makes Noosa Heads different
Noosa Heads is the northern end of our Sunshine Coast run, 195 km from Ormeau. Postcode 4567 takes in Noosa Heads, Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Castaways Beach. The homes range from 1970s beach houses on Noosa Hill to canal homes on Noosa Sound and modern rebuilds at Sunshine Beach. Noosa Shire Council has its own planning scheme with a strong focus on visual amenity, and we design to it.
- 3,128 rooftop systems in postcode 4567, with 220 added in the year to July 2026
- New 4567 systems averaged 12.0 kW last year
- 267 batteries installed across 4567 in the 12 months to July 2026
- Low-pitch Colorbond rebuilds hide a full 10 kW array from the street and the beach
- Marine-grade rail and salt-mist certified panels are standard within 2 km of the ocean
What postcode 4567 has already put on its roofs

What we find on Noosa Heads roofs
Noosa Hill homes sit on steep blocks with trees and often face the view rather than north, so we model each plane and frequently use east-west splits. Sunshine Beach rebuilds have low-pitch Colorbond roofs that hide an array completely. Noosa Sound canal homes are flat, open and easy. Everything here is within 2 km of the ocean, so marine-grade hardware is standard on every job.
- Housing era
- 1970s to 1980s beach houses, 1990s canal homes, 2000s to 2020s architectural rebuilds
- Roof material

What applies to a Noosa Heads install
Council and network
The Noosa Plan 2020 treats solar panels on an existing dwelling as accepted development, but the scheme places weight on visual amenity, particularly for roofs visible from the national park, the river and Hastings Street. We keep arrays plane-aligned and off the most visible elevations. Sunshine Beach and the Sound fall within the coastal hazard and flood overlays, which affect equipment height. Energex serves the postcode with the standard 5 kW single-phase export cap. Holiday-let units on shared roofs need body corporate consent.
STC rebate in Noosa Heads
Noosa Heads is in STC Zone 3 (rating 1.382). With a 5-year deeming period, a 6.6 kW system earns about 45 certificates, roughly $1,755 at $39 each, and a 10 kW system about 69, roughly $2,691. We claim it for you and take it off the quote.
Battery discount
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program cuts roughly 30 percent off the installed cost of a home battery, stepping down each year to 2030. Postcode 4567 added 267 batteries in the year to July 2026. We size the battery to your evening use, not the biggest unit on the truck.
Asked by Noosa Heads homeowners
Does Noosa Council restrict solar panels?
No development application is needed for panels on an existing home. The Noosa Plan does emphasise visual amenity, so we keep the layout tidy and avoid the most visible elevations. That has never stopped an install for us.
My home faces the ocean, not north. Does that hurt output?
An east-facing array in Noosa produces about 10 percent less over a year than north. It also produces earlier in the day, which suits a home with morning loads. We usually split across two planes to balance it.
Can I install solar on a holiday rental in Noosa Heads?
Yes. If it is a strata unit, the body corporate must approve the roof works. For a detached holiday house the main design question is sizing to the actual occupancy pattern, which we work through with you.
