Sparkies, not salespeople.
We started Core Energy & Storage because solar in Queensland had become a mess — flashy reps on commission pitching oversized systems to people who didn't need them. We do it the other way round: work out what your place actually needs, quote it honestly, and install it properly.
Tidy work, or it isn't finished.
A battery and inverter live on your wall for the next fifteen years, so we mount them square, label everything, and take the packaging with us. The EV charger beside this one was pre-wired on the same visit — worth asking about even if a car is years away, because doing it later costs more.
A fairer way to do solar in QLD.
The solar industry in Queensland has a reputation problem, and it's earned. Most homeowners we speak to have had at least one bad run: a salesperson who overpromised, a system that didn't match the quote, a switchboard left in a state. Then nobody picks up the phone when something goes wrong.
We come at it from the tools. Our team is QLD-licensed and CEC-accredited, with around twenty years of electrical work behind us. The people who design your system are the people who install it — the roof, the wiring, the inverter, the commissioning. When you ring us in three years to add an EV charger or extend the battery, you get the same outfit that put it in.
We also think most Queensland homes are sold more system than they need. Our packages are pre-engineered to cover the common cases honestly, and we'll tell you when a smaller one is the smarter buy. The best install is the one that actually pays for itself, not the biggest number on the roof.
That's the whole pitch. No franchise fees baked into your price, no commission-only reps, no “limited-time offer” pressure. Straight advice, fair pricing, and work we're happy to put our name on.
“From the start, they were easy to talk to, knew their stuff and were quick to answer all our questions about system sizing and configuration. There was none of the usual hard-sell stuff — just straight talking advice. Pricing was fair, communication was excellent, and they were super polite and professional while on site. The installation was left neat and tidy, with all the rubbish and packaging taken away. It's the kind of service you hope for but don't always get.”
