When you're looking at Solar, we will put you in touch with two of Australia's top Installers.
These companies have been vetted and are all part of the Clean Energy Council (Australia)
Solar systems have become dramatically more affordable. Eight years ago a 3kW system cost around $40,000 — today the same setup installs for less than $9,000. Home size, energy needs and rooftop space factor into your final cost.
Grid-tied systems let you sell excess solar energy back to the power company. You get credits for the kilowatts you export, offsetting any grid energy you use when solar isn't generating enough.
With battery storage, you may not need the power company at all. Systems typically pay off within seven years. After that, your energy bill is effectively eliminated.
Australian power companies typically raise rates by up to 5% each year. Going solar removes your dependence on the grid and frees you from unpredictable, ever-rising energy costs.
When your home generates more solar than it needs, you can sell excess energy back to the grid. Buy-back rates range from 7c to 12c per kWh exported.
Battery storage lets you use solar energy at night or on cloudy days. Without batteries, your home switches to grid power after dark — but you can still sell surplus daytime generation back.
Note: these costs do not factor in rooflines, sun allocation, or any further issues that may arise.
Solar panels absorb sunlight and generate direct current. An inverter converts that into alternating current your home can use. Excess energy is stored in batteries for use at night or on cloudy days.
You can install panels without battery storage — your home uses solar during the day and switches to grid power at night. Battery storage gives you full independence.
During installation, your technician assesses roof type, sun position, and any shading from trees or nearby buildings.
Review the quality of materials, panel brands, and warranty terms. Material quality directly impacts system longevity, maintenance frequency, and performance.
Ask about past installs in your area. A reputable installer will have local experience, photos of completed work, and CEC accreditation.
A good technician considers your roof material, sun position, and current energy needs — not just system size. That's why comparing two vetted quotes gives you the clearest picture.
With the right installation, your monthly power bills could drop 40–70%. Most Australian solar systems pay for themselves in 7–10 years.
The average solar system pays for itself in 7–8 years, with a 25+ year lifespan. That's nearly two-thirds of the system's life generating energy at near-zero cost.
Your solar payment often replaces — and is lower than — your current power bill. Once paid off, you own all the energy your system generates, free and clear.
Solar also increases your home's value. As buyers prioritise sustainability, homes with solar panels sell for more.
Grid-tied systems keep your power company connection — you sell excess solar back but still pay grid rates, which rise ~5% yearly.
Off-grid systems with full battery storage power your home 24/7 independently. No outages, no price increases. Once paid off, you own 100% of your energy.
