What Affects the Price
The price of installing solar panels depends on system size, roof type, inverter choice, switchboard work and network requirements. We list every item in your quote, so you can compare it fairly. Read how much solar panel installation costs and why quotes differ. If you hold several conflicting quotes, read about too many installers and conflicting quotes.
Choosing a Solar Installer
Check that your installer is accredited, licensed and insured, and ask who stands behind the warranty. We explain what to look for in choosing an accredited solar installer. If you worry about warranty support later, read about an installer who may not be around for the warranty.
Rebates, STCs and Loans
- Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront price of your system.
- The state Solar Homes rebate is up to $1,400 for eligible owner-occupiers, with an optional interest-free loan. Rebates are released monthly and you must be approved before installation.
- Eligibility depends on household income, property value and installation history, so we check your address before we quote.
See solar rebates, STCs and loans explained, or read about being confused by solar rebates and loans.
Warranties, Insurance and After-Sales Care
Your system carries a product warranty on the panels and inverter, a performance warranty on panel output, and a workmanship warranty from the installer. We give you all three in writing at handover.
