Our story

Our Journey

Keystones Energy Solutions was founded in 2015 with a clear vision: to make solar energy accessible, effective, and reliable for everyone on the Sunshine Coast.

From a small operation to a trusted installer

What began as a small operation has grown into one of the most trusted solar installation companies in the region, with hundreds of successful installations across residential and commercial properties.

Personal service, quality workmanship

Our team has grown too, but we've maintained our commitment to personalized service and quality workmanship that sets us apart from larger, less attentive solar providers.

Meet the founder

Leadership

Our founder and General Manager, Dan Walters, brings over 18 years of solar industry expertise to every project. His passion for renewable energy and sustainable living is the driving force behind our company's success.

Under Dan's leadership, our team has developed a reputation for technical excellence and customer-focused service. We don't just install solar systems; we build energy solutions tailored to each client's unique needs and circumstances.

Dan personally oversees quality control for all installations, ensuring that every system we install meets our exacting standards for performance, reliability, and safety.

Our core values

Our Philosophy

At Keystones, we're driven by a set of core principles that guide everything we do

Quality Without Compromise

We select only premium components from trusted manufacturers with solid warranties. Our installation standards exceed industry requirements to ensure longevity and optimal performance.

Client Education

We believe informed clients make better decisions. We take the time to explain how solar works, what options are available, and the specific benefits for your particular situation.

Long-Term Relationships

We view every installation as the beginning of a partnership, not the end of a sale. Our after-installation support ensures your system continues to perform at its best for decades.

Credentials

Accreditation and Licensing

Keystones Energy Solutions is a Clean Energy Council accredited installer and a licensed Queensland electrical contractor. Both matter more than they sound: federal STC rebates can only be claimed on a system designed and installed by a CEC-accredited installer, and any DC work on a solar array is licensed electrical work under Queensland law.

We do our own installations. Nothing is subcontracted to a roving crew, which means the person who quotes your system is accountable for how it is installed and who you speak to if something goes wrong five years from now.

Every installation carries a 10-year workmanship warranty from us, on top of the manufacturer warranties on your panels, inverter and battery.

Equipment we install

We are not tied to a single supplier, which means we can specify what actually suits your roof, your usage and your budget rather than what we have in a container.

  • Inverters: Fronius, SMA, Selectronic, Enphase, Sigenergy, Deye
  • Batteries: Sigenergy, Deye, BYD, Pylontech, Tesla, Sungrow
  • Panels: Tier 1 modules including Jinko

Off-grid is a genuine specialty rather than a sideline — Dan has been designing standalone power systems for rural and remote Queensland properties for most of his 18 years in the industry.

    “I have had my Deye solar battery and inverter installed by another company for over a month and have not had any meaningful help setting up my inverter from my installer or supplier. Despite not supplying my system, Dan has just spent close to an hour helping me. There are not many people who will put themselves out to help someone like that. Dan is so knowledgeable and helpful I would have no hesitation in recommending him.”
    Greg CoonanDeye battery support

Communication and after-sales support come up more than price, which is deliberate. Most of the solar complaints we hear on the Sunshine Coast are not about the hardware — they are about an installer who stopped answering the phone once the system was on the roof.

Service area

Where We Work

We are based at Cooroibah, just north of Noosa, and install across the Sunshine Coast, the hinterland and the Gympie region — roughly 80 km in any direction from the workshop. Being genuinely local to the northern end of the coast means same-day response for Noosa, Tewantin and Cooroy, and scheduled visits further south.

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions

Most properties on the Sunshine Coast are suitable for solar installation. Ideal conditions include a north, east, or west-facing roof with minimal shading. During our free consultation, we'll assess your property's suitability, taking into account factors like roof orientation, pitch, shading, and available space.

While DIY solar kits exist, we strongly recommend professional installation. Solar installation involves electrical work that requires licensed electricians, and improper installation can be dangerous and void warranties. Professional installation ensures safety, compliance, and optimal performance while maintaining all warranties and insurance coverage.

No, when installed by certified professionals like our team, solar panels won't damage your roof. We use appropriate mounting systems and seal all penetrations properly. The mounting rails actually protect the roof area underneath from weather. All our work comes with comprehensive insurance and warranties.

All our installations come with comprehensive warranties and ongoing support. If you experience any issues, our service team is just a phone call away. We provide remote diagnostics, and if necessary, on-site repairs. Most problems can be resolved quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to your energy production.

While there's no ongoing Sunshine Coast Council solar rebate, residents benefit from federal STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) and Queensland's feed-in tariff. We stay updated on any new local incentives and will advise if special programs become available.
