What affects the cost of solar panel installation in Queensland?

The main variables are system capacity and equipment and roof, switchboard and grid-connection work. Photos and measurements can help with an initial response, but some jobs need an on-site assessment before a firm quote is possible.

Does solar panel installation require a Queensland licence?

Solar and battery electrical work requires licensed electrical providers. SAA accreditation and approved products are also required where the installation will claim Small-scale Technology Certificates.

How do I compare solar panel installation providers?

Compare the same written scope, provider credentials, insurance, product or workmanship warranties, start timing, exclusions and total price. Do not compare headline totals until the inclusions match.

What should I prepare before requesting quotes?

Prepare safe-to-take photos, relevant measurements, the property location, preferred timing and notes about energy use and goals and panel, inverter and layout design. Never enter an unsafe area just to gather quote information.
