Question 1

How much do solar panels cost in Australia?

Accepted Answer

System costs vary based on size and complexity, but most homeowners invest AUD $6,000 - $10,000 for a standard system before incentives. With Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and state-based rebates, the net cost is significantly reduced, typically by 30-50%.

Question 2

What if my roof isn't ideal?

Accepted Answer

Modern solar works on most roof types and orientations. Even partially shaded roofs can often accommodate solar with proper system design and micro-inverter technology. Our Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installation partners can assess your home's suitability.

Question 3

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential installations are completed in 1-2 days. The entire process from contract to activation typically takes 6-12 weeks, including local council permits and grid connection approvals from your energy distributor.

Question 4

What about maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels require minimal maintenance – occasional cleaning and annual inspections. Most systems sold in Australia include 25-year performance warranties and product warranties, ensuring long-term reliability.
