Questions to Ask Before You Sign a Solar Quote
Two quotes can look similar and be very different jobs. These questions help you compare them properly.
Who is doing the install?
Ask whether the crew works for the business that quoted you, and whether the installer is accredited with Solar Accreditation Australia. Ask for the electrical contractor licence number and check it.
Did anyone look at the house?
A quote based on the roof and switchboard as they really are is more likely to hold. Ask what could change the price, and get it in writing.
What exactly is going in?
The quote should name the panels, inverter and battery, and spell out the scope. Ask for the manufacturer warranty documents, and ask who you call if something goes wrong.
Be careful with big promises
Be wary of anyone promising a set saving or a zero power bill without looking at your bills. What you save depends on your usage, your tariff and your system.
