What makes Peregian Springs different
Peregian Springs is a masterplanned community built from the early 2000s around a golf course, 3 km inland from Peregian Beach. The homes are modern, single and double storey, on 500 to 800 m2 blocks with Colorbond roofs and ducted air, and postcode 4573 is shared with Coolum Beach. The estate has design covenants that we know well, and the roofs are among the easiest on the coast to fit.
- 7,763 rooftop systems in postcode 4573, with 558 added in the year to July 2026
- New 4573 systems averaged 11.5 kW last year
- 645 batteries installed across 4573 in the 12 months to July 2026
- Clean Colorbond hips with modern switchboards make a 10 kW install a single-day job
- Three-phase supply is common, allowing 15 kW of export under Energex rules
What postcode 4573 has already put on its roofs
Every accredited solar and battery install in Australia is registered with the Clean Energy Regulator by postcode. These are the numbers for 4573, which covers Peregian Springs, along with Coolum Beach.
Source: Clean Energy Regulator, postcode data for small-scale installations, data as at 31/07/2026. Counts are for the whole postcode, and the last 12 months will still rise because installers have a year to register certificates.

What we find on Peregian Springs roofs
Peregian Springs roofs are modern Colorbond hips with clean planes and few penetrations, and the homes were built with ducted air so the switchboards are modern and often three-phase. A 10 kW system fits on most, and 13 kW on the larger double-storey homes. The estate covenants ask for panels to be aligned with the roof and generally off the street elevation, which we design to as standard.
- Housing era
- 2002 to 2020s estate homes, still being built at the Ridges
- Roof material
- Colorbond predominantly, some concrete tile
- Roof pitch
- Low to moderate, 15 to 22 degrees
- Typical block
- 500 to 800 m2, some golf-course frontage
- Home type
- Detached family homes, some gated precincts
- Shading
- Low, young trees and wide streets
Panel counts at 440 W per panel, about 2 m² each. We confirm the real count from satellite imagery before quoting.
| System | Panels | Roof area |
|---|---|---|
| 6.6 kW | 15 | about 30 m² |
| 10 kW | 23 | about 46 m² |
| 13 kW | 30 | about 60 m² |

What applies to a Peregian Springs install
Council and network
Peregian Springs has no heritage constraints, and panels on an existing dwelling are accepted development under the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme. The estate's design covenants permit solar with a tidy, plane-aligned layout and prefer the array off the street-facing plane; we comply on every job. Gated precincts need body corporate consent. Energex serves the estate, with 5 kW export on single phase and 15 kW on three-phase. Parts of the estate border the bushfire overlay, which affects cable routing only.
STC rebate in Peregian Springs
Peregian Springs 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 4573 added 645 batteries in the year to July 2026. We size the battery to your evening use, not the biggest unit on the truck.
Asked by Peregian Springs homeowners
Do the Peregian Springs covenants allow solar?
Yes. They ask that panels sit flush with the roof plane in a tidy block and, where practical, away from the street elevation. We design every Peregian Springs system that way and supply a rendered layout for the approval.
What system size makes sense for a Peregian Springs home?
A 10 kW system for a family home with ducted air and a pool, and 13 kW if you are charging an EV. New systems in 4573 averaged 11.5 kW in the year to July 2026.
Do I have three-phase power?
Many Peregian Springs homes do, because ducted air was fitted at build time. Look for three main switches on the switchboard. It changes the inverter we quote and lifts your export limit from 5 kW to 15 kW.
