Solar Panels Sydney- Solar Installation Companies In Sydney – Which One?

The Solar Industry In N.S.W. has been hit hard by the cutting of the feed in tariff. Many small solar companies (and large for that matter) went out of business in the last 2 years due to uncertainty in the industry and Government policy changing the tariff structures without warning. The following is are issues worth considering when choosing a  Sydney solar panel installation company:

Is Bigger Better? Some of the largest and highest profile solar installers in Sydney are in our view is no guarantee of a better quality installation or price. Our observation at Solar Panels Sydney is that some of the larger solar installation companies in Sydney charge 30-80% higher prices for the same solar power system (same grade of solar panels, solar inverter and mounting components) than smaller Sydney solar installers .

 Solar Panels Sydney- Choosing A Solar Power Installer

1. Ask if they can supply contact details for some of their existing clients for references
2. We highly recommend considering a solar installer who uses quality solar components (solar panels and solar inverters) with a long standing Australian distributor.This way you may have recourse should the solar company goes out of business.
3. Does the Sydney sole panel company use their own solar installers? (as opposed to using contractors, which many Sydney solar companies do)
4. Is the cost of the solar meter (which is required in a solar installation  to ‘measure’ the amount of solar energy produced by your solar panel system)  in their quote?
5. Does the solar panel company do an on site inspection of your roof and property before quoting. At Solar Panels Sydney we think this is extremely important. Some companies will quote without seeing your home. Issues like shading  from nearby trees onto your roof , that would potentially shade your solar panels and reduce their solar electric output cannot be identified without a visit to your home.
6. Are extended warranties available and is the warranty in writing? The warranties on Sydney solar power installations vary from one year to 10 years!
7. Should damage incur during the installation (for example cracked tiles ) does the company cover the cost of repair?
8. Is the Sydney Solar Panel  Installer C.E.C (Clean Energy Council) accredited? To qualify for the Federal Government rebate you must use C.E.C. accredited installers.
