🌞 Solar Power – Frequently Asked Questions

💰 Financial & Savings

Q: How much does solar cost?
A: The cost depends on your roof size, energy use, and whether you’d like to add a battery. We’ll give you a tailored quote upfront with no hidden extras.

Q: Will I really save money?
A: Yes! Most households cut their power bills by 50–100%. Over time, solar pays for itself through lower electricity costs.

Q: What’s the payback period?
A: On average, systems pay for themselves in 3–6 years. After that, the savings are yours to keep.

Q: Are there rebates or incentives?
A: Yes – government rebates and feed-in tariffs can lower your upfront cost and increase your long-term savings. We’ll guide you through what’s available.


⚡ Performance & Reliability

Q: Will solar cover all my energy needs?
A: Most systems are designed to offset a large part of your usage. With a battery, you can store extra power and rely less on the grid.

Q: What happens on cloudy days or at night?
A: Your panels still generate some energy on cloudy days. At night, you’ll use power from the grid – unless you have a battery.

Q: How long do panels and inverters last?
A: Quality panels usually last 25+ years, while inverters last 10–15 years. Warranties protect your investment.


🛠️ Installation & Maintenance

Q: How long does installation take?
A: Most homes are completed in just 1–2 days.

Q: Do I need council or utility approval?
A: We handle all paperwork and approvals for you, so it’s stress-free.

Q: What about maintenance?
A: Solar panels require very little maintenance. A clean every couple of years and regular system checks will keep things running smoothly.

🌍 Lifestyle & Environmental

Q: Will solar add value to my home?
A: Yes – homes with solar often sell faster and for more, as buyers love lower running costs.

Q: What about blackouts?
A: Standard systems shut down for safety during a blackout. But with a battery, you can keep the lights on.

A: Absolutely. Solar power reduces your reliance on fossil fuels and cuts thousands of kilos of CO₂ every year.
