Lennox Head solar on a windy coastal roof
Lennox takes weather from the sea. Wind loading, salt, and a suburb that has grown quickly mean the design should respect structure and the actual estate covenant, not a generic 6.6 kW flyer.

Coastal wind regions change how rails are specified and how many fixings a plane needs. That is engineering, not upselling. If the roof is older tile, say so — tile and tin behave differently under a coastal array.
Between Ballina and Byron
Lennox sits in the same Essential Energy conversation as Ballina and Suffolk Park, with its own estate mix. Newer houses often have better boards and busier roofs. Older beach houses can be the reverse.
Questions people actually ask

Many straightforward rooftop systems are treated as complying development in NSW, but overlays, heritage, and bushfire mapping can change that. An assessment should flag if your site looks like an exception — not assume a path.
