Frequently asked questions
The things people actually ask us, answered without the sales gloss. If yours is not here, call and ask.
Getting started
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the quote form or call us. A consultant from your nearest hub gets in touch, usually the same business day, and asks about your roof, your bill and how you use power.
Is the quote really free?
Yes, and there is no obligation. If solar or a battery is not right for your place, we will tell you that rather than sell you something anyway.
How long from quote to install?
Typically two to four weeks, depending on network approval times in your area and the size of the system.
Systems and installation
How long does an install take?
Most residential systems are installed and switched on within a single day. Larger systems, or homes needing switchboard work, can run into a second day.
Who actually does the install?
SAA accredited installers, coordinated by the Clean Power hub nearest you. SAA accreditation is the individual qualification required for your system to qualify for STC rebates.
Will solar work on my roof?
Most roofs work. North is ideal but east and west splits often suit households using power morning and evening. Heavy shading is the main limiter. See what a residential solar system involves, or the case studies for roofs other installers turned down.
Can I add a battery to existing solar?
Usually yes. Some older inverters need replacing or pairing with a hybrid unit. We check what you have before quoting. The batteries we install are Sigenergy and Hinen.
Costs, rebates and finance
What rebates can I get?
The federal Cheaper Home Batteries program applies nationally, and state schemes such as the NSW Home Energy Saver loan may stack on top. We apply everything you qualify for at quote stage.
Do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. Grid connection application, STC rebate assignment and any state scheme paperwork.
Is finance available?
Interest-free payment plans through Brighte. Eligibility criteria apply.
Warranties and aftercare
What warranties do I get?
Panels carry 30 year performance warranties and batteries up to 12 years, with workmanship covered separately. Every brand we install has an Australian presence.
What if something goes wrong?
Our support team is based in Australia and handles service, warranty claims and monitoring questions directly, separate from sales. You can also read what customers say about how we handle it.
Are you accredited?
Clean Power Australia is a NETCC Approved Seller, which is the company-level mark under the New Energy Tech Consumer Code. Installs are carried out by SAA accredited installers, the individual qualification administered by Solar Accreditation Australia. Note that “CEC accredited” has been out of date since installer accreditation moved to SAA in May 2024.
Still got a question?
