Solar For Homes FAQs
Have A Question?
How much does solar cost?
With a SAA accredited installer and current government incentives, you can expect to pay around $1,000 to $1200 per kW of solar installed. The final figure depends on your inverter, battery and system size. Rather than focusing only on the upfront price, we recommend looking at the guaranteed savings over time, which is where solar delivers its real value. Most homeowners opt for $0 upfront green loans and let their savings cover the repayments so there is little out of pocket expense. Every home in Townsville, Mackay and the Whitsundays is quoted on a case by case basis.
When should I buy a battery for solar?
A battery makes sense when you want to store the free energy your panels generate during the day and use it at night, reduce your reliance on the grid, or keep essential power running during an outage. In North Queensland, where storms and outages are a real consideration, many homeowners add a battery for both savings and peace of mind. Also, with the decreasing value of solar credits, many homeowners see more value in storing their power for night time usage, rather than selling it to Ergon for a low price. Our team can model whether a battery suits your usage before you commit.
Can I get solar when renting a place?
Yes. Renters have options for accessing solar savings without owning the property outright, and we can walk you through what is possible for your situation. Visit our Solar for Renters page to learn more.
Are solar panels worth it?
On average, solar power costs around 5 to 7 cents per kWh to self generate, compared to 20 to 30 cents from the grid, this is 2.9x to 6x cheaper. For most North Queensland homes a quality system pays for itself in roughly five years, then continues generating close to free electricity for many years after. Beyond the savings, you also gain energy security and a smaller carbon footprint.
What size solar system do I need?
The right system starts with your goal, whether that is cutting your power bill, backup during outages, energy independence or reducing emissions. Once we understand how and when you use power, we tailor a system to match. There is no one size fits all, which is why every GET quote is built around your home.
Should I wait for solar prices to drop?
Solar panel prices fell sharply years ago but with global uncertainty, prices for equipment have increased. Waiting for a further drop usually costs more in missed savings than you would gain, because every day without solar is a day of sunlight not working for you. The returns available right now are strong, so the best time to start is generally today.
Commercial FAQs
Have A Question?
How does commercial solar help with ESG compliance?
Commercial solar cuts your reliance on fossil fuel power and lowers your emissions, which directly supports environmental, social and governance targets. For many Queensland businesses it is one of the most visible and measurable steps toward sustainability. Visit our ESG Compliance page to learn more.
Can I get solar on a commercial building?
Yes. Commercial systems typically range from 2.5 kW up to 250 kW and are installed across rooftops or other available open space to capture as much sunlight as possible. Whether you run a warehouse, retail space, medical facility or manufacturing site in Townsville, Mackay or the Whitsundays, we can design a system to suit.
How do I pay for a commercial solution?
We offer several commercial options, including Invest, Zero Cost and Buy Cheaper Power, along with finance, PPA and lease arrangements. This means you can move to solar in a way that suits your cash flow and business goals. Talk to our team to find the right structure for you.
Are commercial solar panels worth it?
Yes. Commercial solar generates free electricity during the day, requires minimal maintenance, produces zero emissions and typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more. The long term savings comfortably offset the initial investment, while also strengthening your sustainability credentials.
What size commercial system should my business get?
System size is based on how much energy your business uses, often estimated from your annual electricity bill. As a rough guide, an annual bill between $15,000 and $20,000 might suit a 30 kW system, though we assess every business individually. Our goal is to design a system that offsets close to 100% of your yearly usage.
