08 · Common questions

Sorted before you have to ask.

Will someone call me? Are your team pushy?

One CEC-accredited installer calls within 24 to 48 hours with your exact quote — they check your roof, shading and usage so the price is real, not a guess. That's the one call. They're Australian, give straight answers, and don't work on hard-sell commissions. If now isn't a good time, just let us know and we'll work around you.

Is the rebate real, or am I getting hustled?

100% real. The Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) scheme is a federal program legislated under the Renewable Energy Act 2000. The rebate comes off your invoice at point of sale, so you never receive cash directly, you just pay less for the system. State rebates work the same way.

Do I have to pay anything to use the service?

Nope. Solar Power Savings is free for homeowners. We're paid a finder's fee by the installer when you go ahead, and only if you sign a contract you're genuinely happy with. No upfront cost, no obligation.

What's the catch?

Honestly, there isn't one. But we'll be straight: solar makes sense for most Australian homeowners, but not all. If your roof is heavily shaded, you barely use power during the day, or you're planning to move within 18 months, we'll tell you that when we get in touch.

How quickly can I get solar installed?

From quote to install, typically 4-6 weeks. Bigger jobs or strata properties can take 8-10. We'll give you accurate timelines once you pick an installer.

What if I rent?

Solar is harder if you rent, but not impossible. Some states (VIC, ACT) have rental-specific rebates, and we can help you pitch it to your landlord. Worth a 30-second check.

Are rebates really shrinking?

Yes. The federal STC deeming period drops by one full year every 1 January until the scheme ends on 31 December 2030 — roughly a 25% step-down in dollar value per year. Today's $1,386 Sydney rebate is closer to $1,040 in January 2027, then $693 in 2028, then $347. State programs are also winding down: NSW Empowering Homes, VIC battery loan, QLD Battery Booster, TAS Energy Saver Loan and others have closed in the last 18 months.
