Here’s What Really Happens On A Solar Consultation
We get it: the idea of a “consultation” can sometimes raise red flags. You picture someone with a headset, racing through a script, trying to sell you something you’re not sure you even need. But at Clean Power Australia, that’s not how we do things.
In fact, our solar consultations are designed to be the opposite of pushy. They’re informative, personalised, and entirely pressure-free. Whether you’re just exploring the idea of solar and batteries, or you’re ready to get a quote and move forward, the consultation is about one thing: helping you make a smart, well-informed decision.
Here’s what actually happens on a solar consultation, and why it might be the most valuable 30 minutes you spend this year.
Step 1: We Understand How You Use Power Today
Every household uses electricity differently. That’s why we start by getting to know how things work at your place, not in theory, but in real life.
We’ll ask questions like:
- How many people live in the home?
- When are people home using power (day, night, weekends)?
- What are your big appliances: air con, pool pumps, electric hot water, etc.?
This helps us get a clear picture of your current energy needs so we can design a system that actually fits your lifestyle, not just your most recent bill.
Step 2: We Talk About the Future
Solar is a long-term investment, and your energy needs might grow over time. That’s why we look ahead.
Maybe you’re planning to:
- Get an electric vehicle in the next few years
- Run the air con more now that the kids are older
- Add a pool or go all-electric (ditch gas completely)
If we design your system based only on today’s usage, you’ll likely outgrow it, meaning higher bills later and expensive add-ons down the track. We want to future-proof your system from the start, so your investment continues to save you money for years to come.
Step 3: We Design a Custom System Together
Based on your current usage and future plans, we design a tailored solar + battery system. If you’re considering panels, we’ll show you exactly where they’d go on your roof using satellite imagery or your existing plans. You’ll be able to adjust the design with us in real time.
We then walk you through:
- How the system works, including how the battery stores and uses power
- What it looks like, including how it integrates with your home
- The pricing and available rebates, both federal and state
- Your payment options, including pay-as-you-go or upfront
There’s no jargon, no pressure, and no mystery. Just a clear picture of what’s possible.
By the end of your 15–30 minute call or in-person meeting, you’ll walk away with a full understanding of:
- How solar and batteries work
- What a system designed for your home looks like
- What it does and doesn’t do
- And whether it makes sense for your household or not
And if it doesn’t make sense? That’s totally fine. We’d rather help you say “yes” to something you truly believe in than rush you into a decision you’re unsure about.
