Buying Solar Power Systems
Here you'll find the high level questions that people encounter during the solar buying process.
- How do I know what size system is best for me?
- I have been advised that the Government Rebate is ending soon for solar - is this true?
- I use 95% of my electricity after 6pm - should I get solar?
- Should I go off-grid in the city?
- I am thinking about solar but believe I have missed the boat – is it still worth it for me to get a solar system?
- How do I know that I'm getting the panels I paid for on the day of installation?
- Please can you sketch out a design for this complex microgrid/commercial solar system / retirement community/sub metering/thorium reactor/other interesting project for me?
- Can you help me design a small solar system for my boat/cabin/caravan?
- In the company's T&C's they talk about passing over ownership of Energy Certificates (STC's), is this something that I should understand better before passing over ownership?
- I noticed that some companies don't appear to be "accredited installers" with the Clean Energy Council. Is there a particular reason for this, and if the companies are not "accredited" what mechanism is there to get any faulty work rectified?
- Does the installer need to be licensed to install the solar system?
- Who does all the paper work and application for the installation?
