⚡Thousands of homes and businesses lost power across the Toowoomba region today. If the weather forecasts for this summer are accurate, today’s storm may have been an early taste of what’s ahead.

If you’d like to be a bit more prepared for the next one, pop us a message and we can have a chat about your battery backup options.

FYI: Power is out to a large portion of the Toowoomba region. Reason: Damage requiring emergency repairs.

📄 You may know you're covered by a warranty when buying solar but did you know there are actually five types that cover very different things? Panels, inverter, performance, workmanship, and batteries all have their own terms, their own timeframes, and quality brands may cover more than you'd expect.

1. Performance Warranty: This warranty guarantees that your solar panels will produce a certain amount of energy over a period of time, often up to 25 years.

2. Solar Panel Product Warranty: This warranty covers defects in the solar panels themselves, such as manufacturing defects or material defects.

3. Solar Panel Labour Warranty: This solar manufacturer warranty is about covering the cost of the labour if panels need replacing.

4. Inverter/Battery Product Warranty: These warranties cover defects in the inverter or battery.

5. Workmanship Warranty: This warranty is provided by the solar installer and covers defects in the installation of the solar system.

Own or operate a large commercial building with high energy use and available roof space?

From today, the cap for eligible commercial solar under the STC scheme increases from 100 kW up to 1 MW.

Some things you need to know:
☀️Bigger systems can take longer to be approved by the electricity network
☀️You can expand an existing solar system under the scheme
☀️ If one roof isn’t enough, we can look at using multiple buildings or ground-mounted solar
☀️The existing battery incentives aren't changing

If you’ve been considering a larger commercial system, call us on 07 4642 0017 and we can discuss your current energy needs and your available options.

There's a lot of little decisions behind a solar system that most people never see.

Things like:

⚡ How the system is designed for your actual home and energy use
🏠 Where the panels and batteries/equipment are positioned
🔌 How cabling is run and protected
📐 How the system is mounted and finished
🔋 Whether the equipment actually makes sense together
👷 And importantly - who is ACTUALLY doing the installation

Most of these things aren't particularly exciting and they're probably not what you'll notice when you're comparing quotes but they're often the difference between an average system and a good one 👌

In this video one of our electricians Ryan shares a few of the things he comes across on installs that haven't been done particularly well.

Before you choose a solar + battery company, check how long they’ve been around.

We’ve been getting rid of electricity bills for locals since 2012 and we’re here to stay!

Thank you to everyone who has trusted and supported our business in that time 👍

Installing solar is the easy bit.

Running a solar business properly for 14 years? That’s the hard part 😂

We’ve seen a fair bit in that time - Solar cowboys, rebate rushes, incentives come and go, rules constantly changing, big promises, and plenty of businesses popping up when there’s money to be made only to disappear a few years later.

It’s no wonder people are sceptical of the solar industry.

We’re definitely not perfect but we’ve always tried to do good work, give people straight advice, look after our customers and build a business that’ll still be here when they need us.

Putting panels on a roof is one thing but still answering the phone years later is another 👍

We asked Peter what he’d look at if he was buying solar for his own home. 👇

⚡ 1. Your electricity usage

Your electricity bill tells us how much power you’re using, but when you’re using it is just as important.

Are you home during the day? Is most of your power used at night? Do you have a pool, air con, electric hot water, a bore pump or an EV? Are there things coming in the future that might change your usage?

Two homes can have almost identical electricity bills and need completely different solar systems.

So before recommending a system size, we’d want to understand how you actually use electricity.

📋 2. Understand the quote

What panels are being used? What inverter? What warranties apply? Is monitoring included? Does the switchboard need any work? Are there additional costs that could come up? And who do you call if something stops working?

👷 3. Who is actually installing it?

The company selling you the system and the people who turn up to install it aren’t necessarily the same people.

Ask: Are they employees or subcontractors? Who supervises the installation? Who is responsible for the workmanship? And if something goes wrong later, who are you calling?

Panels and inverters matter, but so does the quality of the installation. Good equipment doesn’t make up for poor workmanship.

🏠 4. What will it look like?

Where will the panels sit? Where will the inverter go? If you’re adding a battery, where will that be installed?

🤔 5. What would you install?

Ask the person quoting your system:

“If this was your house and your money, what would you install and why?”

Maybe you don’t need the biggest system. Maybe spending extra on the premium option won’t actually benefit you. Maybe a battery makes sense. Maybe it doesn’t. Maybe there’s somewhere else your money would be better spent.

Whatever the recommendation is, they should be able to explain why it makes sense for you.
