SOLAR FAQ

1. How much will the system cost?

This varies from system to system. Our CEC designers will first access your roof then design the best possible system to claim the most out of the rebate and pay your system off ASAP. Our main objective is to give you the most benefit possible from solar energy.

2. Is there finance available?

Yes. There is finance available for all size systems, rent to own or chattel loan. You can always give us a call on 03 9646 1239 to discuss this further with us.

3. What is the interest rate?

The interest rate varies from 4.8%- 7.5%. We use Macquarie finance to fund most of our deal. They’re very competitive in the market.

4. How long is the finance set up for?

You can set the finance up from 2-7 years, 7 years being the least amount repayed each month. We generally suggest 5 years as a starting point and have found in some cases the savings from solar are more then the monthly repayment. This means that the system has cost our customer nothing with savings made from day 1.

5. Is there a deposit required?

There is no deposit required for systems 30KW and under.

6. How long from signup to installation?

For systems under 30kw it’s approx 3-4 weeks from signup to install and for systems over 30kw we allow 2-4 months. This is because the electrical distributor needs to assess our application and determine if the system we’re designing is eligible to be installed on their electricity lines and transformers. Our in-house engineers get involved in this application and submit wiring diagrams and make assumptions to the distributor.

7. What type of solar panels do you use?

We use a range of Tier 1 solar panels. We’re always on the hunt for the newest technology that is cost-effective for the customer and delivers the biggest returns.

8. What type of inverters do you use?

We use ABB and Sunny Boy Inverters for our commercial projects and Goodwe for our domestic projects.

9. How long are the warranties?

Inverter warranties are between 5-10 years and the solar panels have a 25-year performance warranty.

10. Do you have any references?

We have a list of video testimonials on our Testimonials tab and a written list which we provide to you at our consult for your perusal.

11. How long have you been in the industry?

We have been in the industry for over 10+ years.

12. How many solar installations have you been involved in?

It’s hard to keep track of all of our installations going back to 2007 but, we would estimate to have installed over 9000 PV systems right across Australia.

13. What areas do you work in?

We work in NSW, VIC, TAS and ACT.

14. Is there any new penetrations in the roof?

No. We use clip lock roof brackets or simply use the existing roofing screws. If you ever wanted to take the system off the roof you could and be left with little to no penetrations that need to be sealed.
