SolarQuotes in the media.
SolarQuotes and/or Finn Peacock have been regularly mentioned in online and print media, radio and television both in Australia and overseas – below you’ll find a few examples.
NightLife – ABC Radio
I appeared on ABC Radio’s Nightlife on November 14, 2018, chatting about the basics of home solar and batteries, and answering questions from callers. You can listen to the full segment here.
Adelaide Advertiser
In this Adelaide Advertiser piece (November 2018), I comment on the South Australian Home Battery Scheme (click image for larger view).
Studio 10
Here I take questions from the panel about:
- electricity prices – any why they have risen so much
- how much you can typically save in each capital city with solar
- how much solar costs
- the risks of shoddy installs
and I manage to stink out the studio with the charred remains of a DC isolator.
The Checkout
ABC’s The Checkout had a great segment to help people considering solar power. SolarQuotes was mentioned a couple of times, as a recommended way to get 3 quotes from pre-vetted installers:
The ABC team did a fantastic job on covering home solar power in Australia, but the segment crammed *a lot* of information into a short duration – so we followed up with a post on the SQ blog on the major points The Checkout addressed or touched on; along with links to further reading.
Nine News
Here I chat with Will McDonald about:
- How much more affordable and accessible solar power is today and how quickly it can pay for itself
- How the electricity companies want to introduce Demand Tariffs so they can hit us with extra surcharges to try and make up for lost revenue due to the popularity of solar panels.
- Why I wrote my book, The Good Solar Guide.
- The difference between utility scale batteries and home batteries.
Radio
Here Finn chatted for an hour to Philip Clark on ABC’s Nightlife, which is broadcasted nationally, about how to buy solar well. During the segment, Finn also took questions from Australians calling into the program, covering a wide range of issues relating to purchasing, using and making the most of solar power.
Finn has also appeared on ABC Radio Adelaide, Radio National, and FiveAA taking live questions from listeners.
