The process

Three steps, and nothing in between

Most quote sites sell your number to whoever pays for it. We match you to one installer and stop there.

I

Tell us about your home

Whether you own the place, your quarterly bill, your timeframe and your postcode. Four questions, no account, nothing to upload.

II

We match your postcode

We check which accredited installer genuinely covers your area, and match you to that one business. If nobody covers you yet, we say so rather than waste your time.

Your quote arrives

Your matched installer contacts you directly, usually within one business day, with an obligation-free quote written for your roof.

What separates a good install

The parts of the job you can't see from the driveway

Two quotes for the same kilowatt figure can describe very different work. These are the things worth asking any installer about before you sign.

Inverter placement: Inverters last longer out of direct afternoon sun. A shaded wall or garage position is a sign someone thought about the install rather than just finishing it quickly.
Panel layout: Splitting an array across two orientations often produces more usable power than cramming everything onto the best-facing roof face, because it spreads generation across the day.
Cable runs and conduit: Neat, properly supported and UV-rated runs are the clearest visible signal of workmanship, and the part most often cut to hit a low price.
Roof penetrations: Every mounting foot is a hole in your roof. Correct flashing and sealing for your specific roof type is what keeps it watertight in ten years, not ten months.
Warranty, in writing: Product warranty, performance warranty and workmanship warranty are three separate things with three different lengths. Get all three on the quote.
Who actually attends: Ask whether the business installing your system employs its own accredited installers or subcontracts the work out, and who you call if something needs attention later.

What it costs

Why nobody can price your roof from a web page

Any site quoting you a firm figure before seeing your property is guessing. Here is what an installer is actually weighing up.

Your usage sets the size

The quarterly bill is a proxy for how much power you use and when. A household using most of its power during the day suits a different system to one that switches everything on at six in the evening, even if the bills are identical.

kW

Sized to your usage

Your roof sets the labour

Tile takes longer than tin. Two storeys take longer than one. Tight access, complex rooflines and older switchboards all add hours, and hours are the part of a quote that varies most between properties.

hrs

Access and roof type

Components set the warranty

The gap between budget and premium panels is mostly warranty length and how slowly they degrade, not how much they produce on day one. Paying more buys you years at the end, not watts at the start.

Warranty, not watts

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Genuinely free for homeowners. We're paid by the installer you're matched with, not by you, and it never changes the price you're quoted. The matching service costs you nothing, with zero obligation.

Why one installer instead of three competing quotes?

Because being hounded by five salespeople is a miserable experience. We match you exclusively with one top-rated installer for your area. They get your enquiry exclusively, so they're more invested in doing right by you. Not happy after speaking to them? Come back and we'll find an alternative.

Are the installers actually accredited?

Yes. Every installer in the network is a qualified, accredited professional. Accreditation is the standard required to install systems that qualify for government solar incentives, and it's non-negotiable for us.

Do I qualify for solar rebates?

Most owner-occupied homes are eligible for government solar incentives, but it depends on your property, system and current program rules. Your matched installer confirms exactly what you qualify for as part of the quote, so there are no surprises.

How much does solar cost?

It depends on system size, your roof and how much power you use. After government incentives a typical home system is a mid four-figure investment, but the only accurate number is a quote for your specific property, which your matched installer provides free.

How long does installation take?

Most residential solar installations are completed in a single day once paperwork and grid approval are sorted. Your matched installer walks you through the exact timeline for your property.

How soon will I hear back?

Usually within one business day. Once you're matched, your local installer reaches out directly to talk through your options and put together an obligation-free quote.

What areas do you cover?

We match by postcode. If a vetted installer covers your area, you'll go straight through. If nobody covers your postcode yet, we'll tell you upfront rather than waste your time. We're adding installers all the time.

Local to Mildura

What actually moves a Mildura quote

National solar advice is written for no one in particular. These are the specifics that change the number on a Mildura quote.

Network: Your Victorian electricity distributor sets the export rules here.
Export limit: 5 kW per phase on the standard fixed connection, with compliant dynamic-export inverters reaching up to 10 kW per phase where the local network has room. This caps what you send back to the grid, not what you can install - most homes fit more inverter capacity than they can export and simply use the surplus in the house.
Incentive zone: This area sits in STC zone 3 with the rest of the southern half of the country, so your installer applies the federal small-scale incentive at the rate set for this postcode.
Worth asking about: Far inland, Mildura sees some of the strongest sun and the hottest, driest summers in the state - great for generation, but ventilation under the array matters more than almost anywhere else in Victoria.

FAQ

Mildura questions, answered

What's the solar export limit in Mildura?

Your Victorian distributor is the network here, and it allows 5 kW per phase on the standard fixed connection, with compliant dynamic-export inverters reaching up to 10 kW per phase where the local network has room. That's a cap on what you export to the grid, not on what you're allowed to install - your installer confirms the exact figure for your address as part of the quote.

Does the local climate change what I should install in Mildura?

Far inland, Mildura sees some of the strongest sun and the hottest, driest summers in the state - great for generation, but ventilation under the array matters more than almost anywhere else in Victoria. None of it rules solar out here - it just changes what's worth raising with your installer before you sign.
