Frequently Asked Questions
What is a residential solar system, and how does it work?
A residential solar system harnesses sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate electricity for your home. The system converts sunlight into DC electricity, which is then converted into AC electricity by an inverter, supplying power to your household appliances. Excess energy can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.
Why should I choose GEM Energy for my solar installation?
GEM Energy, trading as RACQ Solar, is a leading provider of residential solar solutions in Queensland. With over 10,000 installations, including projects for Australia Zoo and the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, GEM Energy offers high-quality, reliable, and long-lasting solar systems backed by a team of experienced professionals.
What size solar system is suitable for my home?
The appropriate system size depends on your household’s energy consumption:
6–8kW: Ideal for smaller households or families with lower power demands.
10–13kW: Suitable for average Queensland households looking to save on energy bills.
13kW+: Recommended for larger households or families with higher energy needs.
GEM Energy offers tailored consultations to determine the best system for your home.

The cost of a solar system varies based on size, quality, and installation complexity. GEM Energy provides competitive pricing and offers financing options to make solar more accessible. For detailed pricing, it’s best to request a personalised quote.
