What to check in Perth

Use these points before comparing quotes.

Rebate context: Federal solar STCs usually reduce the quoted solar price. WA Residential Battery Scheme may add up to $1,300 for synergy customers or $3,800 for horizon power customers if eligible; wa no-interest battery loan is finance support, not a rebate deduction.

Climate risk: High heat and long sun exposure make inverter placement and panel warranty important.

Roof design: Good sun makes oversizing tempting, but export limits can reduce value.

Tariff check: Check Synergy or local network export rules before assuming all surplus power is paid.

Local quote checklist

  • Confirm Western Power export approval requirements.
  • Ask for a quote option that keeps battery installation simple later.
  • Check whether a west-facing string helps afternoon usage.
  • Check export limits and battery readiness before choosing system size.
