Your solar questions, answered

After the federal STC rebate, a quality 6.6kW residential system typically lands between $4,500 and $7,500 fully installed, depending on panels, inverter and roof complexity. We give fixed written quotes with no surprises — and most Mid Coast homes recoup the cost in 3 to 5 years.

Yes. We process your STC (federal) rebate as an upfront discount on your quote, apply any current NSW battery incentives, and lodge the grid-connection application with Essential Energy on your behalf. You don’t lift a finger.

Yes — we can point you to interest-free and low-rate green finance options so you can spread the cost and start saving from day one. Many customers find the repayments are less than the bill savings.

For most Mid Coast homes, a quality system pays for itself in 3–5 years through bill savings. After that it’s essentially free power for the 20+ year life of the panels.

A standard grid-connected solar system shuts down in a blackout for safety. If keeping the power on through storm season matters to you, we’ll design a battery system with backup capability so your essentials keep running.

We fit CEC-approved Tier-1 panels and reliable inverters such as Fronius, Sungrow and SMA. We’ll recommend the best fit for your roof and budget rather than pushing one brand.

Definitely. If you’re not ready for a battery now, we can install a battery-ready (hybrid) inverter so adding storage down the track is simple and cost-effective.

Tier-1 panels carry 25-year performance and product warranties, quality inverters 10–12 years, and we back our own workmanship for 10 years. Because we’re local and not going anywhere, warranty claims are handled in person — not via an overseas call centre.

Absolutely. Every install is carried out by Clean Energy Council Accredited Installers using CEC-approved panels and inverters. That accreditation is also what makes your system eligible for the government rebate.

We cover the entire MidCoast Council region — Taree, Forster-Tuncurry, Old Bar, Wingham, Gloucester, Harrington, Hallidays Point and everywhere in between. If you’re between Bulahdelah and Port Macquarie, we’ve got you.

From accepting your quote, most installs happen within 1–3 weeks depending on scheduling and grid approval. The install itself is usually a single day.

Yes — we repair and maintain all brands of solar, including systems whose original installer is no longer around.
