About Northlight Solar

Northlight Solar has installed across South East Queensland since 2013. Twelve installers, four crews, and a rule that no quote goes out without a shading model of the actual roof.

We handle warranty claims ourselves. When a panel fails in year eight you call us, not a manufacturer's overseas support line.

What we stand for

Mission

Make a solar quote a number you can hold someone to.

Values

We use your consumption data, not a state average. We tell you when a battery won't pay back. And we quote our workmanship warranty in years, in writing.

Our approach

Assessment, shading model, consumption analysis, then a quote with a savings figure and the assumptions behind it printed on the same page.

Sustainability & ESG

We recycle end-of-life panels through an accredited processor and publish the tonnage annually. In 2025 we diverted 14 tonnes from landfill.

Privacy policy

Northlight Solar collects only what it needs to do the work, keeps it for three years, and anonymises rather than deletes so the record of what happened survives the person leaving.

How to complain, and what happens next

A complaint reaches the owner the same day. You get an answer within two working days and a named person who owns it until it is closed.

Who we're for

The SEQ solar installer that models your roof before quoting and handles your warranty claims itself.

What customers say

★★★★★ 4.8 from 693 reviews
★★★★★
Modelled the shading properly

"Three quotes said 6.6kW. Northlight showed me the afternoon shading from my neighbour's gum and recommended a different panel layout for the same money."

— Warren D. ✓ Verified
★★★★★
Numbers were right

"They said $1,840 a year. First twelve months came in at $1,910. Nobody in solar has ever been accurate with me before."

— Sunita B. ✓ Verified
★★★★
Not the cheapest

"About $900 above the cheapest quote, but the only one who put a monitoring plan and a real warranty process in writing."

— Peter M. ✓ Verified
★★★★★

"Booked in, waited all day, nobody came and nobody called. I took the day off for nothing."

— Priya N.

Frequently asked

Why is your quote higher?

We model shading and use your real consumption instead of a state average, which usually changes the recommended layout. And our workmanship warranty is ten years, not two.

Am I eligible for the STC rebate?

If your system is under 100kW, installed by a CEC-accredited installer and your property is on the grid — yes. It comes off the quoted price, we don't ask you to claim it.

Will a battery pay for itself?

On current SEQ tariffs, usually 9 to 12 years — longer than most sales people admit. If blackout protection matters to you the maths is different, and we'll say which case you're in.

Who handles a warranty claim?

We do. You call us, we deal with the manufacturer. That's the main reason people pay our price.
