A solar quote should clearly list the system size in kilowatts, proposed panels and inverter, estimated generation, total price, and any assumptions about your roof and electricity use. Check whether the price includes installation, approvals, monitoring, paperwork and applicable small-scale technology certificate discounts, rather than assuming these are included. Compare warranties, estimated payback and export assumptions carefully, as actual savings depend on your usage, tariffs, weather and system performance. It is sensible to check the installer’s credentials and ask questions before signing, and you can verify general guidance through energy.gov.au or the Clean Energy Council.
