Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked

Switching to solar energy allows you to reduce electricity bills, minimize your carbon footprint, and become more energy independent. Solar power is a renewable, clean energy source that provides substantial savings on electricity over time. It also adds value to your property and supports Australia’s goals for a sustainable energy future.

Solar panels, typically installed on rooftops, capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. This electricity powers your home or business, reducing your reliance on the grid. Excess electricity generated by your system can be sent back to the grid, often earning you credits on your energy bill, known as "feed-in tariffs."

Your savings depend on factors such as the size of your solar system, your electricity consumption, your location, and current energy rates. On average, many households save between 20–50% on their electricity bills after installing a solar system. Larger systems or higher consumption typically result in greater savings.

The ideal system size depends on your electricity usage, available roof space, and budget. Our team can assess your energy needs and recommend a system size that maximizes your savings. For an average Australian home, a 5kW to 6.6kW system is often sufficient, but larger households or businesses may require bigger systems.

Tier 1 panels come from well-established manufacturers with high production quality and a solid reputation, offering greater reliability and performance over time. Tier 2 panels can be reliable but may come from newer or smaller manufacturers. We typically recommend Tier 1 panels for their efficiency, durability, and longer warranties.

Yes, the Australian government offers Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) to help reduce the initial cost of solar systems. The number of STCs you receive depends on the size of your system and location. Many state governments and energy providers also offer additional rebates and feed-in tariffs.

Installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of the system, but a standard residential installation usually takes one to two days. Our team will work with you to schedule installation at your convenience, and we'll ensure the process is efficient and hassle-free.

We offer industry-leading warranties on all major components of your solar system. Panels typically come with a 25-year performance warranty, inverters have warranties of 5 to 10 years, and our installations are backed by a workmanship guarantee. You can be confident in the long-term reliability of your system.

Unless you have a battery storage system, your solar system will shut off during a grid outage. This safety feature protects line workers and equipment. If you want backup power during outages, we offer battery storage options that provide reliable power for essential appliances.

Grid-connected systems allow you to draw power from the grid when needed and export excess electricity to earn feed-in credits. Off-grid systems rely solely on solar panels and batteries, ideal for remote areas but more costly due to larger battery storage requirements. We offer both options and can help you determine which best suits your needs.

Homes with unshaded, north-facing roofs are ideal for solar, but east and west orientations can also be effective. Our experts conduct a site assessment to evaluate your roof space, orientation, and shading to ensure maximum energy production. Even partially shaded roofs may work with advanced panel technology.

Feed-in tariffs allow you to earn credits or payments for the excess energy your solar system generates and sends to the grid. Rates vary by state and energy provider. Our team will help you understand available feed-in tariffs and optimize your system’s performance to maximize your savings.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. We recommend cleaning them every 6-12 months to remove dust and debris and ensure maximum efficiency. Our technicians can perform routine checks and cleaning, or we can advise you on simple, safe cleaning methods.

We offer a variety of flexible financing options, including interest-free and low-interest plans, so you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy without upfront costs. Contact us to discuss your options, and we’ll help you find the best solution for your budget.
