Plain answers, before a sales pitch.

A quick rule of thumb is to multiply your current electricity bill by 0.4. The answer is your potential savings after installing solar.

For example, your bill is $1,000 this quarter. Using the calculation 1000 × 0.4 = $400. This means you could potentially save your family and your business $400 this quarter.

While this is a great tool to get an idea of your potential savings, your actual savings are affected by: your electrical load profile (what you use, when you use it and for how long), solar system size and grid export restrictions in your area, feed-in tariffs (what your retailer pays you for excess energy), and where you live (the more sun you get, the more you save).

After the federal STC rebate is applied as an up-front discount, most residential systems land between $4,000 and $15,000 depending on size, inverter and any battery. Commercial systems are quoted line-by-line against your meter data.

Yes. Manufacturer warranties cover panels (typically 25 years), inverters (10 to 15 years) and batteries, plus our own workmanship warranty on the install. If something fails, we handle the claim end to end, so you're not shipping panels or chasing paperwork.

The federal STC scheme is stepping down each year and ends in 2030, so the rebate gets smaller every January. It hasn't ended yet, but sooner is better than later if rebate value matters to your payback.

“Tier 1” is a financial-bankability rating, not a quality grade. It tells you the manufacturer is well-funded, not that the panel is the best fit for your roof. We pick panels on engineering merit (efficiency, temperature coefficient, warranty terms, hail rating), not on tier label alone.

We document every system at handover, so we know exactly what was installed. If your original panel is out of production, we source the closest electrical and mechanical match. If mixing creates a mismatch, we'll show you the trade-offs before swapping anything.

Quality panels are tested against substantial hail impact during certification. For hail-prone postcodes we can specify reinforced glass options, and good mounting design takes wind and impact loads into account from the start.

Feed-in credits appear on your electricity bill rather than as a cash refund. They reduce what you owe, and in months where you export more than you import they can roll into a bill credit. Different retailers handle the surplus differently, so the rate and treatment is worth comparing.
