After getting a few quotes, We decided to go with Next Phase Solar and we're really glad we did. They were upfront, easy to deal with, and there were no surprises along the way. Install day went smoothly and everything works perfectly!

Very pleased with the whole experience, right from quote to saving money with no more electricity bill. The quote was very competitive and the job was done in timely manner. Would recommend Brad and the team to anyone thinking of solar.

Really good value. I wanted to add a battery to my setup and shopped around a fair bit, and Brad came back with the best price out of everyone I asked. No pushy sales, just a straight good deal and the job done properly. Happy customer, would recommend them to anyone in Mackay looking at solar or batteries.

Really happy with my new solar panels at home. The whole thing was smooth and stress free, and they took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions, which I really appreciated. Great service and lovely to deal with. Thank you.

Fast and easy from start to finish. I just needed a battery added and they sorted it out really quickly, much faster than I expected after hearing how long other companies take. Brad was great, clear and helpful the whole way through. Highly recommend them if you are in Mackay.

Could not be happier with my solar installation. I got quotes from several companies, since there are loads of them around and the market is competitive, and NPSolar honestly gave me the best price by far. I had also read plenty of reviews of other companies and they all seemed to take months to actually get the job done. NPSolar installed my 14 panels and batteries in a single week, at the best price, which felt almost too good to be true. Huge thanks to Brad, who was friendly, talked me through all my questions and made the whole process easy. If you are in Mackay and looking at solar, definitely get a quote from them.

Frequently asked questions
About ev chargers.
Depends on your service. Single-phase homes are limited to 7.4 kW (32 A). If you have three-phase, you can run 11 kW or 22 kW chargers which add about 60 to 110 km of range per hour vs 30 to 40 km/h on single-phase. For most homeowners 7 kW is plenty (a full charge overnight). 22 kW makes sense if you have multiple EVs or short charging windows.
Yes. With a smart charger (Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Tesla Wall Connector, Fronius Wattpilot or similar) we set it to 'solar only' or 'solar boost' mode. The car only draws when solar is producing, so you charge for free off your roof. Excess grid draw is configurable.
QLD's $3,000 ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) subsidy ended in 2024. Federal incentives still apply to the vehicle (FBT exemption for EVs under the LCT threshold), but charger hardware itself currently has no specific QLD rebate. We help with the install paperwork either way.
Australian Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) require a licensed electrician for any hard-wired charger install. A plug-in charger above 10 A also needs a dedicated 15 A or 20 A outlet, which is electrician territory. We provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion, required for insurance and resale.
Not with proper load management. We size the sub-circuit for the charger and configure dynamic load balancing so the charger reduces its draw when the rest of the house ramps up (oven + air-con + induction at dinner time). Switchboard upgrade only needed if your existing service is already maxed out, which we check during the site survey.
Half a day to one day for a typical residential install: mount the charger, run the sub-circuit cable, fit the RCD and isolator at the switchboard, energise, commission, configure the app. Ergon paperwork for any sub-circuit registration takes a few days in parallel.
All EVs sold new in Australia use the Type 2 (Mennekes) connector for AC charging, which is what we install. Tesla, BYD, MG, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Polestar, Volvo — all compatible. Older Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i-MiEV use CHAdeMO and need a different solution; we can advise.
