Off-grid solar on the Tweed, and the fringe behind the Coast.
From Kingscliff and Tweed Heads up the valley to Murwillumbah and Uki, the same design desk covers new coastal builds that want blackout-proof hybrid and hinterland blocks that want the connection quote torn up. Designed in Lismore, installed by accredited locals.

New builds that want the lights to stay on
Kingscliff, Cabarita, Pottsville, Tweed Heads. A new house, a tight roof, a family that has already watched the evening news footage of a storm. Hybrid storage with real backup — the grid stays connected and mostly ignored, with the wire-cut option drawn in from the start.
Private roads and a torn-up connection quote
Murwillumbah, Uki, and the lanes behind them. A long driveway, a dear network quote, and an owner who is done renting the feeder. Stand-alone power sized for winter, generator integration included. That brief lands in the design form every week.
Gold Coast hinterland, same crews
Currumbin Valley, Tallebudgera, Mudgeeraba, Tamborine Mountain, Canungra. Queensland storm season makes the case for storage without a salesperson. The federal battery discount still applies; there is no standing QLD state battery scheme for new applicants in 2026.
Property, then design, then gear
No brand is the house brand. The Tweed sees Victron, Sigenergy, Deye and EcoFlow on the same week's drawings. We hold no warehouse, on purpose — the product on the page is the one the property earned, not the one sitting on a shelf.

A Tweed design, not a warehouse pack
Tell us the place — coast or valley, NSW or just over the border, existing solar or a new roof, and what has to run when the feeder drops. If hybrid is the answer, the design shows the backup boundary. If stand-alone fits, the design shows the winter sizing instead.

Tweed questions, answered
Do you install off-grid solar in the Tweed?
Yes. Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Kingscliff, Cabarita, Pottsville and Uki sit inside The Off Grid Shop's published Tweed region. The same design desk covers the Gold Coast hinterland — Currumbin Valley, Tallebudgera, Tamborine Mountain, Canungra.
Is the Tweed NSW or Queensland for rebates?
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program applies on both sides of the border. NSW also pays an optional VPP incentive. Queensland has no standing state battery scheme for new applicants in 2026. Eligibility is confirmed on the design; the facts live at /rebates.
Do you design hybrid systems for new coastal builds?
Weekly. Kingscliff, Cabarita and Tweed Heads jobs often want blackout-proof hybrid on a new house — whole-home backup, solar sized to the roof, storage that carries the evening. The design keeps the option to cut the connection later.
What about a property up a private road behind Murwillumbah?
That is the other weekly brief: a long driveway, a dear connection quote, and an owner who wants the grid torn up. Stand-alone power sized for winter loads, generator integration included. The design compares that path with a hybrid keep-the-wire option.
Which brands do you install on the Tweed?
Whatever the property calls for. Victron, Sigenergy, Deye, EcoFlow and Australian-made storage are all in the range. No brand is the house brand. The design names the gear after the loads and the layout are counted.
How do I start a Tweed design?
Send the form on this page or call 0483 927 257. Name, phone and suburb are enough. A designer who already works the border comes back with a system sized to the property.
