Solar & electrical services
across South East QLD
One licensed crew for the whole lot, design, supply, install, connection paperwork and aftercare. Here's everything we take on.
Residential Solar PV
A rooftop system sized off your actual power bill. Not an off-the-shelf package someone's trying to move this month.
We start with your usage data and your roof. Orientation, pitch, shading from that neighbour's poinciana, the state of your switchboard. All of it changes what makes sense. Then we design a system that covers your daytime load properly and give you a fixed written price with the STC rebate already taken off.
- Full roof, shading and switchboard assessment
- Tier-1 panels and inverters with real local warranty support
- Battery-ready wiring so you can add storage later without a rip-out
- Energex/Ergon connection application handled for you
- Monitoring app set up and explained before we leave
Commercial Solar
Warehouses, workshops, farms, retail and strata. Designed around your demand profile and tariff so the payback actually holds up.
Commercial solar lives or dies on the numbers. We pull your interval data, model self-consumption against your current tariff, and show you the payback and ongoing saving before you spend a cent. If the numbers don't work for your site, we'll tell you that too.
- Interval data analysis and self-consumption modelling
- Systems from 10kW through to large three-phase arrays
- Tilt frames and ballasted mounting for flat roofs
- Network approval and metering coordination managed end to end
- Works scheduled around your trading hours
Battery Storage
Bank your cheap daytime solar and spend it at night, when the grid rate hurts most.
Feed-in tariffs aren't what they were, so exporting surplus solar for a few cents while buying it back at peak rates makes less and less sense. A correctly sized battery flips that. We'll model your evening load and show you what storage does to your bill. And whether it's worth it yet.
- Sizing based on your real evening and overnight consumption
- Blackout backup options so essentials stay running
- Retrofit to most existing solar systems, not just new installs
- AC and DC coupled configurations
- App monitoring so you can see exactly what it's doing
EV Charger Installation
Charge off your own solar instead of paying servo prices for electrons.
We install 7kW single-phase and 22kW three-phase home chargers, wired properly and load-managed so you're not tripping the main every time the oven and the car are on together. Solar-aware chargers can be set to soak up your surplus export rather than pulling from the grid.
- 7kW and 22kW home and workplace chargers
- Load management so your switchboard stays happy
- Solar-diverting setups that charge off surplus generation
- Switchboard and supply upgrades where they're needed
- Tidy cable runs, conduit, not gaffer tape
The rest of what we do
If it moves electrons around your property, we can probably help.
Servicing & Repairs
Inverter faults, dead strings, nuisance tripping, storm damage, isolator failures. We'll diagnose it honestly and tell you whether it's worth fixing, even if we didn't install it.
Panel Cleaning
Dust, salt spray, pollen and bird mess quietly eat your output. Safe roof-access cleaning with a performance check and a written report on what we found.
Solar Hot Water
Solar and heat-pump hot water systems supplied and installed. Often the single fastest way to knock a chunk off a power bill in a busy household.
Solar + Battery Upgrades
Got an old 1.5kW system that no longer covers the house? We'll expand the array, replace tired inverters and add storage without starting from scratch.
Switchboard & Metering
Old ceramic-fuse boards, missing safety switches, meter changeovers and supply upgrades. Frequently needed before solar or an EV charger can go in.
System Monitoring
Live production monitoring set up on your phone, with alerts when something stops performing. So a dead string doesn't go unnoticed for six months.
Maintenance Plans
Scheduled inspections, cleaning and performance reporting for commercial sites and landlords who'd rather it just be handled.
Why the cheapest quote
usually costs more
There's a reason quotes for "the same" system vary by thousands. It's almost never the panels, it's everything around them.
| What actually differs | DKE Services | The $2k-cheaper quote |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the install | Our own crew, every job | Subcontracted, often interstate |
| System sizing | Modelled on your actual usage data | Whatever package is on special |
| Switchboard assessed first | Checked at the site visit | Discovered on install day, extra cost |
| Quoted price | Fixed in writing, rebate deducted | Headline price, conditions underneath |
| Coastal corrosion spec | Marine-grade rail and stainless fixings | Standard hardware, rust in two years |
| If something fails in year three | Same local number, same people | Company may not exist |
Not every cheap quote is a bad one. But ask any installer to itemise the six rows above and you'll find out quickly which kind you're dealing with.
Tell us the problem,
we'll tell you the fix
Big bills, an underperforming system, a new EV in the driveway, start with a phone call and we'll point you the right way.
