What to check in Wollongong
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, escarpment weather, and shading can affect output and equipment choice.
Roof design: Shading analysis is important near trees, hills, or dense housing.
Tariff check: Do not choose a plan on feed-in rate alone if your home imports heavily at night.
Local quote checklist
- Ask whether optimisers are worth it for partial shading.
- Check corrosion coverage near the ocean.
- Review evening usage before adding a battery.
- Ask for a shade report and inverter option comparison.
