What to check in Sunshine Coast
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: Coastal weather and storms make mounting quality important.
Roof design: Homes with pools or home offices may benefit from larger systems.
Tariff check: Compare feed-in value against self-consumption because exports may be less valuable than daytime use.
Local quote checklist
- Ask for a simple self-consumption estimate before adding panels.
- Check coastal corrosion warranty terms.
- Confirm local service availability for inverter faults.
- Check whether a bigger system improves daytime self-use or just exports more power.
