Gold Coast
Overview
Source Energy Group installs solar and battery systems across the Gold Coast, servicing Energex-connected homes from Coolangatta through to Coomera. Why Gold Coast Solar Just Got More Important
From 1 July 2026, the Solar Sharer Offer means retailers across South East Queensland must offer three hours of free midday electricity. For Gold Coast homeowners still exporting solar to the grid, this confirms what feed-in tariffs already showed: daytime export is worth almost nothing.
The Gold Coast households winning from 2026 are the ones storing their solar for evening use instead of selling it back. That’s how a $1,200 quarterly bill becomes one paid almost entirely from the roof.
Paying Full Retail
$4,800 per year
Per year to Energex - the cost of an undersized or template system on the Energex network.
The SEG Approach
$0–$200 per year
SEG customers average. That’s $4,600+ back in your pocket every year - on a system sized to YOUR Gold Coast home.

Energex & Gold Coast Tariffs
Gold Coast homes are served by the Energex distribution network. SEQ households can access standard residential or time-of-use tariff structures - meaning the time of day you draw grid power affects the per-unit cost. A correctly sized solar-and-battery system eliminates peak-rate grid draw and stores surplus generation for evening use.
