Ryan was amazing from start to finish. He was very polite and answered any questions I had. His work is extremely good with absolutely no faults. If I ever need some help with any solar work in the future I will definitely be contacting Ryan

Ryan took over my solar project after a vendor left me hanging. He took care of all the haggling with the original vendor and got the job done for me.

Ryan just replaced our power box and installed solar. Gave really clear options, communication was clear and open and he always had time for my many questions. Excellent workmanship and materials for a great price and timeframe. If you want solar, get Ryan to do it.

Ryan and his team installed a 15kWh battery at our holiday home months ago and we couldn’t be happier, hasn’t skipped a beat! Top tier workmanship and support, couldn’t recommend enough

Excellent service , approachable and knowledgeable. Provide good open detail on the whole installation of my solar panels and inverter. Provided a reliable service and a commitment to the completion of my solar system. Good work RADNRG. Highly recommended .

Throughout the whole process, Ryan made me feel comfortable and confident in the purchase of our first solar system with his expertise. Strongly recommend, thanks mate!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a solar battery actually work with my home and the grid?

It’s simpler than you might think! During the day, your solar panels power your home first. Any excess energy then goes into your battery instead of being sent back to the grid for a low credit. Once the sun goes down (or if there is a power outage), your home automatically draws power from your battery. This keeps your lights on and your bills down without you having to lift a finger.

Are the "cheap" systems I see advertised the same as yours?

In short: No. Many national companies offer “too good to be true” pricing by using entry-level components and hiring low-cost sub-contractors for the install. At RAD NRG, we only use premium, Tier-1 components designed to withstand the Central Queensland heat. Because we use our own in-house team, you aren’t paying for a salesman’s commission—you’re paying for quality workmanship that lasts decades, not months.

How does the Federal Battery Rebate work?

The government provides an incentive to reduce the upfront cost of battery storage. However, this rebate is scheduled to reduce every six months (with the next drop on May 26th). By locking in your installation now, you secure the maximum possible savings. We handle all the complex paperwork for you to ensure the rebate is applied correctly. 

How long does the installation take?

Most residential solar and battery installations are completed within a single day. We aim for a “zero-disruption” experience—we’ll have your system mounted, wired, and tested, and we’ll even clean up after ourselves so your home looks exactly as it did when we arrived.
