What matters when choosing rooftop solar?

A solar system is a long-term purchase. The right fit depends on your roof, electricity use, budget and plans for your home, not just the headline price.

01 / SYSTEM SIZE

Match the system to your needs

Consider your household's daytime electricity use, roof space and any future plans such as an EV or battery.

02 / EQUIPMENT

Understand the components

Ask about panel and inverter models, warranties, installation details and ongoing support.

03 / TOTAL VALUE

Compare more than price

Review the complete written quote, assumptions, exclusions and after-sales support before deciding.

Common questions

Brisbane solar questions

How many solar quotes should I compare?

Comparing multiple written proposals can help you understand differences in system design, equipment, assumptions and service. Ask each installer to explain what is included.

Does a bigger solar system always make sense?

Not necessarily. Suitability depends on your electricity use, roof conditions, export arrangements, budget and future needs. Ask installers to explain their sizing assumptions.

Should I include a battery?

A battery may suit some households, but the economics depend on usage patterns, tariffs, installation costs and other factors. Compare the battery and non-battery options separately.

Can I get an installer quote through this site today?
