The tool updates in real-time as new reviews are submitted and is what this report is based on.<\/p>\n<h2>Solar Rebate Reduction Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Solar power system pricing continues to remain elevated and how long this will last is anyone&#8217;s guess. Given the number of curve balls thrown in the last few years, any predictions and forecasts regardless of who makes them are just guesses; but some more educated than others.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still on the fence regarding when to pull the trigger on a solar installation, something on the horizon that *will* have an impact on system pricing assuming nothing else changes in the meantime is a reduction in the national <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/rebate\/\">solar rebate<\/a>. This shouldn&#8217;t be confused with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/feed-in-tariffs\/\">feed-in tariffs<\/a>. It often is and they are totally different beasts.<\/p>\n<p>The rebate, which can knock thousands off the up-front cost of going solar, has reduced in January each year since 2017 as part of a planned phase-out.<\/p>\n<p>January is still three months off, but the rebate level is based in part on *when a system is installed* rather than when you sign on the dotted line of a sales contract. The time from signing to the actual installation date can be some weeks, and good installers will soon start filling their books for pre-2023 installations. Once that happens, they&#8217;ll start quoting on systems taking into account the lower rebate from January.<\/p>\n<p>While this doesn&#8217;t mean you should rush out and buy a solar power system right now (as rushed decisions can be poor decisions), now is the time to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">researching installing solar<\/a> with view to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/quote\/\"> getting quotes<\/a> reasonably soon.<\/p>\n<p>Another important point to bear in mind &#8211; every day without solar panels on your rooftop is another day of mains-supplied electricity costs being higher than they would otherwise be. This will eat into whatever system pricing reduction savings that may (or may not) materialise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The average cost of a solar power system installation in Australia crept up in August 2022.
