What to check in Brisbane
Use these points before comparing quotes.
Rebate context: Federal solar STCs usually reduce the quoted solar price. No broad current state rebate is included here; check local, council, retailer, and VPP offers before signing.
Climate risk: Heat, storms, and wet-season access make mounting quality and installer support important.
Roof design: A slightly larger system can help homes with air-conditioning and pool loads.
Tariff check: South East Queensland plans differ from regional Queensland tariff arrangements.
Local quote checklist
- Ask about cyclone-rated or storm-suitable mounting where relevant.
- Check inverter placement so heat does not shorten component life.
- Model battery payback against evening air-conditioning use.
- Compare system size against summer air-conditioning usage.
