6. Choosing an Installer

The quality of installation is just as important as the equipment. A poor installation can lead to underperformance, safety issues, and voided warranties.

What to look for:

  • CEC (Clean Energy Council) accredited installer
  • Established business with good reviews
  • Provides detailed written quote
  • Offers workmanship warranty (minimum 5 years)
  • Willing to visit your property before quoting
  • Clear about what's included and excluded

7. Choosing an Installer

Before signing with any installer, make sure you get clear answers to:

  • What specific panels and inverter are you quoting?
  • What warranties come with the system?
  • What's your workmanship warranty?
  • How long will installation take?
  • Will you handle all council approvals and grid connection?
  • What monitoring system is included?
  • What happens if something goes wrong after installation?
