REMINDER: Don't sign before you compare! Get a written quote, system design, and warranty details first! ☀️📋⚖️
Investing in rooftop solar and battery storage is a multi-decade commitment to your home's energy independence. High-pressure sales tactics and vague verbal promises often hide low-grade hardware, poor installation practices, or hidden extra costs down the line. Before committing your hard-earned money, step back and ensure every single detail is provided transparently in writing. At GridFree Solar, our Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installers believe in thorough site assessments, clear engineering designs, and zero-pressure consultations across Victoria and Western Australia.
The essential 3-point checklist to demand before signing any solar contract:
○ Written Itemized Quote: Ensure your quote explicitly itemizes brand names, specific hardware model numbers, total system capacity, and line-item pricing—including all upfront federal STCs and state battery rebates clearly deducted.
○ Engineered Site Design: Never settle for a generic estimate. A certified site assessment must map your roof layout, pitch, shading obstacles, azimuth orientation, and usable plane space to guarantee real-world generation yield.
○ Full Warranty Details: Confirm both product and performance warranties in writing. Verify that hardware manufacturers maintain established Australian support offices and that your installer provides guaranteed workmanship backing.
○ Certified CEC Compliance: Insist on installation standards that strictly comply with AS/NZS 3000, 5033, and 5139 safety regulations, signed off by a licensed electrical inspector.
○ True Bill Impact Modeling: Demand an accurate return-on-investment calculation based on your actual 12-month billing interval data, not overly optimistic sales projections.
