Frequently asked questions
How much does solar cost in Australia?
A 6.6kW system typically costs $5,000–$8,000 after the STC rebate, and saves $1,000–$1,800 a year depending on self-consumption.
Is a battery worth it in Australia?
With state rebates and rising evening tariffs, a 10kWh battery now typically pays back in 6–9 years in Victoria and South Australia.
What does CEC accredited mean?
Clean Energy Council accreditation is required for the federal rebate and confirms the installer has completed the required design and safety training.
Can I add a heat pump hot water system?
Yes. Heat pump hot water is usually the cheapest way to cut a gas bill, and it qualifies for STC credits too.
