It comes down to your monthly electricity bill and daytime energy usage:

6.6kW System: Best for small to medium households with electricity bills under $400 per quarter.

10kW System: Perfect for average families utilizing multiple air conditioning units, pool pumps, or preparing for an electric vehicle.

13kW+ System: Ideal for large households with high consumption profiles looking to eliminate their bills entirely or pair their array with a battery.

For a typical home in Brisbane, the average payback period ranges between 3 to 5 years. Recouping your initial investment is faster when you shift heavy appliance usage (like dishwashers, washing machines, and hot water systems) into peak daylight hours to maximize your solar self-consumption.

Brisbane residents can take advantage of the Federal Government's Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. This automatically grants you Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), acting as an upfront discount that covers roughly 30% to 40% of the system's total cost. This incentive is applied directly at checkout by your installer.

Yes. Solar panels do not require completely unobstructed sunlight to generate power—they capture ambient diffuse light as well. While their generation efficiency drops to around 10% to 25% of peak capacity on heavily overcast or rainy days, they continue offsetting your home's load. Your system will seamlessly draw power from the grid or a battery storage system whenever production falls short.

Premium solar installations come backed by a multi-layered warranty structure:

25-Year Performance Warranty: Guarantees your panels will still produce a specified percentage of power decades down the line.

15 to 25-Year Product Warranty: Covers physical defects or manufacturing flaws in the panels themselves.

10-Year Inverter Warranty: Protects the heart of your solar system.

5 to 10-Year Workmanship Warranty: Provided directly by your local Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installer to safeguard the physical installation process.
