Cube · About

Local installers.
Local warranty.
Local accountability.

Cube Automation & Electrical Group is a 22-person solar and battery installation business based in Slacks Creek, Queensland. We were founded in 2014 after watching too many SEQ homeowners get burnt by fly-in installers who couldn't be reached when something went wrong.

001 What we believe

Three quiet rules.

No mission statement. Just the three principles we test every job against.

— Rule · 01

Honest quotes win the job.

We don't run high-pressure sales. We measure, model and quote — and the number on the page is the number on the invoice.

— Rule · 02

Local crews finish what they start.

Every install is done by employed crew, not subcontractors. The person who installs your system is reachable years later.

— Rule · 03

The rebate is yours, not ours.

We apply the federal rebate at point of sale. You see the discount on your quote. We don't add a margin to the saving and call it ours.

002 The team

The people on your roof.

We're small enough that you'll meet most of us before we leave. Below — the four you're most likely to deal with.

— 01 · Director

Daniel Ortiz

CEC-accredited designer. Founded Cube in 2014 after a decade in industrial electrical contracting. Personally signs off every design.

— 02 · Lead Installer

Wesley Pham

SAA-accredited installer, fifteen years on the tools across SEQ. Specialises in tile-roof and three-phase work.

— 03 · Office Manager

Aisha Bourke

Quotes, scheduling, Energex applications. The reason install dates don't slip and paperwork doesn't disappear.

— 04 · Service Tech

Tom Karras

Post-install service, monitoring set-up, battery commissioning. The person you'll actually call in year four if something needs attention.

003 Why SEQ

Specialised, by choice.

Queensland has more rooftop solar than any other state — over 1.1 million homes. The Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane have the irradiance to make solar work and the housing density to make batteries economic. We chose to specialise here because we know:

  • The councils. Brisbane City, Gold Coast City, Sunshine Coast and Noosa each have their own quirks.
  • The networks. Energex paperwork and connection rules across the Energex footprint — submitted in-house.
  • The roofs. Coastal salt zones, cyclone-rated mounting, tile, Colorbond, heritage homes.
  • The weather. Storm-season tie-downs, hinterland wind loads, the lot.

  • Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) accredited installers
  • QBCC Licence No. 15123456
  • ABN 47 615 884 902

"You won't catch us cold-calling. You won't see us on a quarter-page ad in a free magazine. The work is the marketing."
