Questions to Ask Your Solar Installer Sunshine Coast
To the question, “Is installing solar panels a good idea?” The answer is a simple “yes”. There are numerous reasons for this, including a minimised environmental impact and an equally beneficial effect on the cost of electricity. However, before you go ahead and invest in the cost of a solar panel system, there are other questions you should ask. One of the premier solar companies Sunshine Coast residents count on is Logic Solar. Read on or contact our team today.

Logic Solar has installed thousands of PV solar systems throughout Queensland and New South Wales. Backing our expert, Clean Energy Council-accredited installers is an experienced team on hand to answer any questions you may have before, throughout and after the installation process. Here we explore a few questions you should ask your solar installer, and why.
What Performance Level Can I Expect from this System?
The performance of a solar panel system is measured in kWh. An average daily kWh production figure seems like a good way to measure output. However, it doesn’t consider the potential ups and downs, such as those caused by fluctuating weather conditions. You should ask your solar panel installer for a detailed, month-by-month breakdown. This will ensure that you can accurately predict the adequacy of your power output all year round. By installing a Smart Meter, you can monitor live energy production, consumption and exportation via a smart phone app (such as Fronius Solar.Web) or online.

Are There any Hidden Costs?
Some solar companies in Sunshine Coast will charge extra for things not originally quoted. One such example might be a meter box or switchboard upgrade. You may or may not need a meter upgrade before a solar panel system can be installed. Ask your installer to include this and any other potential expenses before signing a contract. For this reason, we recommend a site visit before we send out your quote, to assess the suitability of your home for solar, quote you relevant products, and discuss your energy needs not only now, but in the foreseeable future.
Ask Your Installer’s Payment Terms
A reputable installer like Logic Solar will have payment plan options for clients who may not want to pay the full sum upfront. While it certainly makes financial sense in the long run, many households may find the initial cost a bit of a challenge to pay in full straight away. Logic Solar can provide you with industry leading solar finance options, and also provide information on government rebates you may be entitled to.
How Do I Know Your Work Will be Quality?
This is perhaps the most important question. Ask your installer if they have recognised certification and experience. Our team of Clean Energy Council accredited experts have assisted thousands of people throughout Queensland and New South Wales to save money on their power bills.
