\"SolarQuotes<\/p>\n

The SolarQuotes team was pumped to recently achieve another significant milestone in their mission to help Australians slash their power bills with high quality solar installations.<\/p>\n

Founded by chartered electrical engineer Finn Peacock <\/a> to remove the risk from buying solar panels in Australia, more than 600,000 requests for quotes have been processed by SolarQuotes<\/a> since the service kicked off in 2009. This is equivalent to around 1 in 15 Australian households.<\/p>\n

The company’s purpose is simple:<\/p>\n

“To help Australians buy quality solar and batteries from installers who care.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What’s not so simple are the behind-the-scenes processes involved to help ensure this happens. These include rigorous checks <\/a> of solar installers wanting to join the network and ongoing monitoring of businesses accepted; processes that have been continually refined over 13 years.<\/p>\n

The SolarQuotes website has Australia’s biggest solar installer reviews<\/a> database, currently listing 2,497 businesses across Australia – and 514 of those are part of the SQ network at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

The “Grandmother Rule” – An Enduring Value<\/h2>\n

Among the company’s core values is the “Grandmother Rule”, which is also very simple.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rule is \u2013 if I wouldn\u2019t recommend a solar installer to my grandmother, I won\u2019t recommend them through SolarQuotes,\u201d says Finn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

… and yes, Finn really likes his grandma.<\/p>\n

Worry-Free Solar – Guaranteed<\/h2>\n

As in any trade or business sector, there are great, good, fair and bad operators in the rooftop solar game. Horror stories of grossly overpriced systems, super-cheap systems with poor quality components, shoddy installation and shonky business practices may have discouraged some Australian households from installing panels, locking them into ongoing high electricity bills that could otherwise be avoided.<\/p>\n

To provide additional assurance to the hesitant, Finn launched the SolarQuotes Good Installer Guarantee <\/a> in November last year. This is a formal guarantee on the quality of every SolarQuotes-referred installation, demonstrating the confidence Finn has in his vetting process and network of installers.<\/p>\n

“In the unlikely event a customer believes their system has not been installed to the specification promised, we\u2019ll work with the customer and the installer to ensure it is,” states Finn. “In the even more unlikely event the promised installation still isn\u2019t delivered, SolarQuotes will arrange for any remedial work to be performed by another pre-vetted solar professional – paid for from our own pocket, not the customer’s.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Go-To Resource For All Things Solar<\/h2>\n

As well as facilitating quotes for solar power and battery systems<\/a>, the SolarQuotes website (and team) have continued to grow. The website provides well over a million visitors each year with valuable information <\/a> delivered in an easy-to-understand format, a wide variety of tools<\/a>, current news and fearless reviews <\/a> on the Australian and international scene.<\/p>\n

“As solar energy and related sectors such as home battery storage and the electric vehicle revolution on our doorstep evolve, we’re evolving with it,” says Finn. “We’re humbled by the trust so many Australian households put in us and something that won’t ever change is my original vision – connecting Australians to the best products and services for their circumstances, provided by the best in the industry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
