Top Solar Installer Questions
How long does it take to install my system?
This depends on several factors: the number of stories, the wiring needed, whether a battery is added to the system. A typical house needing a 10 kW solar and 10 kWh battery system would take most installers about a day.
Do I need a battery with my system?
If you’re on a time-of-use tariff, want backup power, or want to maximise self-consumption, batteries can be a smart addition. But many homeowners still see excellent savings with a well-designed solar system alone. And batteries can be added later, thanks to AC coupling.
How does the battery rebate work?
After administrative costs, the federal battery rebate usually amounts to $244 per kWh of usable storage. You can calculate your exact discount with our federal battery rebate calculator. Check the full requirements on our federal battery rebate explainer page.
What is the typical cost of a solar system?
This depends on system size, panel and inverter brand, and installation difficulty. An average-sized 10 kW solar system is roughly $10,500. For an in-depth breakdown on the cost of solar panels, read our full guide.
What size solar system do I need?
Most Australian homes use between 16 and 20 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, and every kilowatt of solar panels generates about 4 kilowatt-hours daily on average. So while 4 to 5 kW of solar would technically cover your usage, it’s now standard to install 6.6 kW or more, if your roof allows it. Bigger is better, especially to help with winter demand, future electrification, an EV or a battery later. Excess solar isn’t wasted — it can run your hot water, charge a battery or a car, or just cut bills further.
How do I know which installer to trust?
We always recommend that people get several quotes from different installers. Read reviews, particularly the 1-star reviews, to see how they handle these situations. Make sure they install well-known brands that have an Australian office. Alternatively, we can provide you with quotes from installers we have pre-vetted personally.
What is the SolarQuotes Good Installer Guarantee?
The SolarQuotes Good Installer Guarantee ensures that if your system isn’t installed properly by a SolarQuotes-referred installer, they’ll work with the installer to fix it. And if that fails, they’ll cover the cost of another installer to make it right. You must report any issues within 12 months of installation, and some conditions apply.
