One quote isn't a price. It's an opening offer.
With nothing to hold it against, you can't tell a sharp number from a padded one. Households that see several quotes for the same job routinely find the spread is bigger than they expected.
Two installers can quote the same roof and land thousands apart — same panels, same size, same job. The only way to know what's fair is to see the quotes next to each other.
Rebates and incentives depend on your postcode, system size and installer accreditation. We'll tell you what applies to you.
Nobody sets out to overpay. It happens because you're comparing one quote against nothing — and the person who wrote it knows that.
With nothing to hold it against, you can't tell a sharp number from a padded one. Households that see several quotes for the same job routinely find the spread is bigger than they expected.
Budget panels and no-name inverters win on day one and lose over fifteen years. A quote that hides the brand, the warranty or who honours it isn't cheap — it's incomplete.
"This price is only good today" exists to stop you comparing. Any deal worth taking survives you sleeping on it and looking at two more numbers first.

Not just the bottom-line price — the parts of the quote that decide what you actually own.
Who made them, what the product warranty actually covers, and whether the manufacturer has an Australian presence to honour it.
The most common failure point in a solar system, and the easiest place to quietly cut cost.
Undersized and you keep buying power. Oversized and you're exporting it for pennies.
Switchboard upgrades, tile roof mounts, long cable runs, meter reconfiguration. This is where a cheap quote grows.
Accreditation, subcontracting, and whether the business will still be there for the workmanship warranty.
A worked example of three quotes on one roof. Same size system, same house — very different paperwork.
Illustrative comparison to show how quotes differ in structure. Not a price guide — your numbers depend on your roof, usage, location and installer.
You answer a handful of questions once. We work out who can actually quote your address. They come to you.
Address, roughly what you're paying for power, and what you want out of it. No account, no login, no essay.
Only accredited installers who genuinely service your area and do the type of work you're after. Not a mailing list.
Quotes come to you directly. Line them up, ask hard questions, and say no to all of them if nothing stacks up.
At the end you can attach a photo of your electricity bill and your switchboard. It's optional — but installers who can see your actual usage and meter setup quote tighter and don't need a second round of questions.
You pay nothing. Installers pay us a fee when we send them a genuine, matched enquiry — the same way any referral business works.
That means we're only worth anything to them if the enquiries we send are real and well-matched. Padding your details out to anyone with a van would kill the business inside a month.
Neither answer is wrong. But you want to know who's on your roof and whose name is on the workmanship warranty, before the truck arrives.
It's the component most likely to need replacing. If the quote doesn't name it, that's your answer.
Small-scale certificates are usually assigned to the installer and shown as a discount. You want it stated plainly, not implied.
Switchboard upgrades, tile replacement, extra-long cable runs, meter changes. Ask now, not when the invoice lands.
A ten-year workmanship warranty is only worth what the company behind it is worth in ten years.
No spin. If the answer is "it depends", we'll tell you what it depends on.
Yes. You never pay us anything, and there's no cost to receive or review quotes. Installers pay us a referral fee when we send them a genuine enquiry that matches what they do and where they work. That's the whole model.
Enough to compare properly, and not so many that your phone becomes unusable. It depends on how many accredited installers actually cover your postcode and handle your type of job — in a metro area that's more than in a remote one. If we can't match you well, we'd rather tell you than send you noise.
You'll hear from the installers we match you with, because that's how you get a quote. You won't hear from anyone else. We don't sell your details on, and one message to us stops all contact.
Still worth asking. Renters can't install directly, but there are landlord and strata pathways, and in some cases portable battery or plan-switching options that make more sense. Tell us the situation in the form and we'll be straight with you about whether it's viable.
No — that's the installer's job, and it's driven mostly by your usage pattern and roof. Pick "not sure" in the form. If you attach a bill, the sizing conversation gets a lot shorter.
It depends on your postcode, the system size, when it's installed, and your installer's accreditation. Small-scale certificates apply widely; state and territory programs come and go and have their own rules. Rather than guess, we'll flag what applies to your address as part of the process.
Because it's the single biggest source of surprise costs. A photo shows whether your board has capacity and whether it needs upgrading — which is much better known before you get a quote than after you've accepted one. It's optional.
It's used to match you with installers and to prepare your quotes. It's stored securely, it isn't sold to data brokers, and you can ask us to delete it. The detail is in our Privacy Policy.
That's arguably the best time to do this. One quote on its own tells you very little. Two more turns it into a decision — and if the first one was sharp, you'll find out quickly and can sign it with confidence.
Two minutes, one form, quotes you can actually hold against each other. Then it's your call, in your own time.
