Solar power
BUSINESS FEATURE
Port Douglas enjoys plenty of sunshine, and now, turning that sunshine into real savings is simpler than ever.
As more households and businesses across Far North Queensland seek ways to reduce energy costs and environmental impact, one local company is quietly driving change at the community level.
G-Solar & Electrical, a Cairns-based, family-owned business, has been servicing the Port Douglas region with clean energy solutions for residential households and commercial businesses since 2014.
Founded by fifth-generation electrician Grant Newman, the company has built a reputation for honest advice, high-quality workmanship, and solid local knowledge of the North Queensland climate.
From residential rooftop systems to larger commercial installations, battery storage, and EV charging solutions, G-Solar delivers tailored systems designed to perform in tropical conditions.
Every installation is carried out by Clean Energy Council-accredited electricians directly employed by the business, ensuring a consistent standard and trusted accountability across every job.
The G-Solar team isn’t new to Port Douglas.
Their projects span a wide range, from family homes and off-grid properties to small businesses and resorts.
Their focus is on practical design, system reliability, and responsive local service, making them a trusted name among those choosing to go solar.
Now, with the introduction of the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which launched on July 1, the opportunity for long-term savings has become even greater.
This federal initiative offers rebates of up to 30 per cent off battery storage systems, with eligible households able to save as much as $18,000 on an install.
The rebate is available to both new solar customers and those upgrading existing systems, making it an ideal time for Port Douglas property owners to invest in their energy future.
For G-Solar, this rebate supports their long-standing mission: helping the local community make smarter, more cost-effective energy choices. With battery storage, homes and businesses can store excess solar power generated during the day and use it at night or during outages, reducing reliance on the grid and adding greater value to their solar investment.
For Port Douglas residents, having a local provider who understands the environment, building codes, and energy needs of the area makes a meaningful difference. G-Solar prides itself on being accessible and transparent from start to finish, offering clear communication, honest pricing, and ongoing support.
With the rebate now in effect and another sunny season ahead, it’s a great time for Port Douglas property owners to consider solar and battery storage. G-Solar offers free site assessments and personalised quotes, making the process easy and obligation-free.
With the battery rebate now in effect, and sunny days ahead, G-Solar is well positioned to help more Port Douglas homes and businesses take full advantage of Queensland’s most abundant resource: the sun.
