Solar Know-How for Petrie's Old and New Streets in Petrie, Moreton Bay
You have just bought an older Queenslander-style home in Petrie, and along with the wraparound verandah came a tin roof with a dozen panels and an inverter tucked under the house. The real estate agent called it a bonus. You are not so sure, because the inverter display is dead, there are no manuals and you can see rust starting around a couple of the roof screws near the array.
Petrie is one of the original Pine Rivers towns, so its streets mix older timber homes on stumps, 1970s and 1980s brick houses and newer estates on the fringes. Corrugated metal roofs on older homes suit solar well, but the fixings need to be right, because a poorly sealed screw on tin can lead to leaks and rust. Low-set brick homes with tiled roofs have different challenges, including cracked tiles around mounting brackets. Many local systems date back to the early 2010s and are now due for a proper check.
Fallon Solutions has solar installers who work on tin and tile roofs every week. Our Petrie solar technicians will test the inherited system and tell you honestly whether it has a future.

Our Comprehensive Petrie Solar Services
Older roofs and inherited systems call for a careful approach before anyone talks about new gear. Our solar inspection and repair services give Petrie homeowners a clear way forward, starting with what is actually on the roof and how safe it is:
- Solar Inspections: A thorough look at panels, roof fixings, isolators and wiring, with particular attention to rust and leaks around screws on metal roofs.
- Solar Panel Repairs: Resealing roof penetrations, replacing corroded fixings and swapping out damaged panels so the array is safe and watertight.
- Solar Inverter Installation: Replacing a dead or obsolete inverter with a modern unit that reports faults and works with a battery later if you want one.
- Solar Panels: Fitting newer panels when the original modules are degraded, using fixings suited to timber battens and metal sheeting.
- Solar Monitoring: Setting up monitoring from scratch, so you can finally see what your inherited system produces each day.
Why Choose Fallon Solutions as Your Petrie Solar Tradie?
We can often arrange same-day inspections or solar repairs in Petrie, which helps when an inverter has quit and you are buying every unit from the grid. Our electricians phone ahead, turn up at the agreed time and go over what they find with you in clear, everyday terms. They lay out the options, and the fixed price for each, before any tools come out. There is never pressure to replace something that can be repaired. We are careful with older homes, mind the verandah boards and leave the yard and roof tidy.
Our tradespeople are licensed electricians, and the installers on our team are SAA-approved. They have worked on most of the inverter brands sold during the boom years and now install Sungrow, GoodWe and Enphase systems, plus BYD and Tesla Powerwall 3 storage. That depth of experience means fewer guesses about old equipment. If a new solar inverter or solar battery suits your plans, they will explain why.
