What to check in Darwin
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: Cyclones, humidity, and heat make mounting, corrosion resistance, and warranties critical.
Roof design: Robust mounting and weather exposure matter as much as panel efficiency.
Tariff check: Check export rules and any plan conditions before sizing for surplus generation.
Local quote checklist
- Ask for cyclone and corrosion considerations in the quote.
- Confirm inverter placement away from direct heat and rain.
- Check local service capability before choosing unfamiliar equipment.
- Prioritise installer credentials and weather-rated installation detail.
