What to check in Central Coast

Use these points before comparing quotes.

Rebate context: Federal solar STCs usually reduce the quoted solar price. NSW battery VPP incentive may be available, but the amount varies and should not be treated as a guaranteed discount.

Climate risk: Coastal air, storms, and tree shading can affect product choice and output.

Roof design: Coastal mounting hardware and shade analysis can be as important as panel efficiency.

Tariff check: Compare solar plans using whole-bill cost, not feed-in rate alone.

Local quote checklist

  • Ask about corrosion-resistant mounting where relevant.
  • Check shade from trees and neighbouring roofs.
  • Compare export value against evening import costs.
  • Ask for a shade-aware layout and coastal exposure warranty checks.
