Solar and batteries in Brisbane: the official numbers
Brisbane postcodes have 259,151 small-scale solar systems on record, and 15,876 more went in between January and September 2026. These counts come from the Clean Energy Regulator's postcode data, as at 30 September 2026, for the postcodes listed on this page.
259,151 solar systems
Small-scale solar systems installed in Brisbane postcodes, all years to 30 September 2026.
15,876 new solar systems in 2026
Installed from January to September 2026.
19,299 batteries in 2026

About 12 batteries per 10 new solar systems
In 2026 so far. With more batteries than new solar systems, many households are adding a battery to solar they already have.
Where Brisbane homes are adding batteries
The Brisbane postcodes with the most battery installations from January to September 2026 were 4069 (Kenmore, Chapel Hill, Fig Tree Pocket and Brookfield): 934; 4109 (Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills, Macgregor and Robertson): 758; 4152 (Carindale, Carina, Carina Heights and Camp Hill): 741.
These are counts of installations, not a measure of price or quality. They show how much is happening locally, so it's worth asking neighbours who've been through it, and comparing at least two itemised quotes yourself.

Worth asking about in Brisbane
- Older timber homes and tin roofs are common in established suburbs. Ask how the panels will be fixed to your roof type and whether any roof repairs are needed first.
- In a townhouse or unit? Check with your body corporate first. A Queensland Government factsheet explains the limited reasons a body corporate can refuse solar on common property.
- West-facing roofs can still work well, as afternoon generation lines up with evening use. Ask installers to explain the expected output for your roof's direction.
- All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Ask for the installer's licence and accreditation details with the quote.

Frequently asked questions
Who approves solar connections in Brisbane?
Energex, the network for South East Queensland. Every system must be approved before it's installed, and your installer usually applies. The full rules are on the Queensland page.
How many homes in Brisbane have solar?
Clean Energy Regulator records show 259,151 small-scale solar systems installed in Brisbane postcodes up to 30 September 2026, including 15,876 from January to September 2026.
Are many Brisbane homes getting batteries?
Yes. 19,299 batteries were installed in Brisbane postcodes from January to September 2026, the most in 4069 (Kenmore, Chapel Hill, Fig Tree Pocket and Brookfield). That's 28,969 since the federal battery discount began in July 2025.
Is there a solar rebate in Brisbane?
Not from the Queensland Government for owner-occupiers. The federal certificate discount (STCs) applies, and your installer normally takes it off the quoted price. Landlords may be eligible for Supercharged Solar for Renters.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar in Brisbane?
Usually, yes. Adding a battery needs Energex approval like any new system. On a standard single-phase connection the total inverter capacity is limited to 10 kVA, while a dynamic connection can allow up to 20 kVA (for example 10 kVA of solar and 10 kVA of battery inverter). Ask installers which option suits your existing system.
