Who is First Choice Solar?
Established in 2010, First Choice Solar was founded with a clear purpose: to deliver high-quality, innovative, and affordable solar solutions that stand the test of time. Our goal is simple yet impactful: to empower communities with sustainable energy options while helping them save on costs.
First Choice Solar has enjoyed steady growth from its origins as a solar contractor. With over 10,000 installations under our belt and growing, we are now widely recognised as the leading name in solar retail across The Gold Coast, Northern NSW, and The Sunshine Coast.
Our continuing growth and lasting success in an industry known for rapid turnover, speaks volumes about our commitment to excellence.
Spearheaded by joint owners Peter Berkers and Matt McKinley, our large team of qualified electricians and Clean Energy Council-accredited solar installers operate from two flagship sites that service South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers of NSW. Co-owner Matt McKinley heads up our Gold Coast factory/showroom which is centrally located in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast, whilst Founder Peter Berkers oversees our purpose-built facility in Caloundra West on the Sunshine Coast. Customers are welcomed daily in both showrooms to see and discuss our extensive array of quality products and receive advice and support.

We are proud sponsors of both the Burleigh Bears Juniors and Seniors, as well as the Currumbin Eagles, and Palm Beach Sharks Soccer Club. Our Row for Life initiative was a great success, seeing us raise just over $50k which was given to local families in dire need.

Why Opt for Solar Power Installation?
Reduce your energy bills
Minimise your electricity bills by using a free energy source. Upon completion of the solar power installation, the power you derive from your solar panels is free of charge.
Help our environment
Reduce your carbon footprint. Solar power isn’t only good for you, it’s good for the planet. As non-renewable energy sources begin to dwindle, you can do your part by switching to a renewable source.
Protect against rising power costs
Safeguard yourself against rising electricity prices. No matter how much electricity costs rise, you won’t be affected, as solar power is always free.
Increase the value of your home or business
Increase the value of your home or business. Properties with solar power systems installed are worth significantly more. Make an investment in your future and make the switch to solar power.
