This year marks a special moment for us at First Choice Solar: 15 years of helping homes and businesses harness the sun's power. From a small team on the Gold Coast to nearly 15,000 solar installations across Queensland and Northern NSW, our journey has been shaped by trust, craftsmanship, and the shared belief that clean energy should be reliable and accessible to everyone.

Over the past decade and a half, we've had the privilege of working with thousands of families, businesses, schools, and farmers, people who think not only about their energy bills today but also about the kind of future they want to help build tomorrow. It's their stories, their belief, and their support that have made this milestone possible.

Growing with Purpose

Fifteen years ago, we set out with the simple goal of offering solar solutions that people could rely on. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, just honest advice, quality work, and systems designed to stand the test of time. We've grown from a local contractor to a trusted solar partner for thousands of families and businesses. We’ve seen solar technology evolve rapidly, and we've made it our mission to grow with it—offering more innovative, more efficient systems without compromising on care.

What’s guided us through the years hasn’t changed: doing right by our customers. That means being transparent, staying accountable, and delivering solar systems that perform well long after installation day. It's why our clients keep coming back and why they recommend us to others. That trust is something we never take for granted.

We’ve also stayed true to doing the work ourselves - no outsourcing, no cutting corners. Our team is made up completely of qualified electricians, and professionals who genuinely care about the quality of their work. The relationships we build with our customers don’t end when the panels go up. We’re here for the long haul; just a phone call away and always ready to help.

15-Year Workmanship Guarantee

To celebrate 15 years in business, we’re proud to introduce an extended 15-year workmanship guarantee on all new systems. This change reflects our confidence in our team and the pride we take in every installation. Solar is a long-term investment, and we believe your installation experience and the support that follows should reflect that.  The 5-year extension (added to the previous 10-year guarantee) isn’t just about standing by our work; it’s about staying aligned to our top priority: giving you, our customer, absolute peace of mind. We know that investing in solar can be a big decision, and you deserve to feel confident not just in your panels and inverter, but in the people who install them, too. With this extended guarantee, we’re formalising what’s already been at the heart of our approach: long-term care, dependable service, and doing the job right the first time.

We’ve always believed that good work speaks for itself, but it also deserves backing. This new 15-year guarantee is our way of recognising the value of your trust and offering something in return.

Staying Local, Thinking Big

The world of energy is shifting quickly. Electricity prices are rising, climate challenges are intensifying, and more Australians are looking for ways to take control of their power. Solar has become not just an option, but a practical and empowering solution—and we're proud to be part of that movement.

Looking ahead, our commitment remains the same: deliver high-quality solar solutions that work for real people, in the real world. We’ll keep doing the work ourselves, no sub-contractors, no compromises and we’ll keep showing up, long after the installation is done.  We’re also committed to staying local. Even as we grow, our roots are here in the communities we serve, the clubs we sponsor, the local businesses we power. From the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Fraser Coast, Northern NSW and beyond, our team is part of the neighbourhood. That local knowledge helps us design better systems, respond faster, and understand what our customers truly need.

We’re grateful to the communities that have welcomed us into their homes, businesses, schools, and farms over the past 15 years. You've helped us grow, challenged us to improve, and reminded us why this work matters. Here's to the next chapter—and to a future that’s bright, clean, and powered by the sun.

Thank you for being part of our story!
