Frequently Asked Questions - EV Charger Installation Gold Coast
Q: How much does a quality solar system cost in Brisbane?
A: The cost varies depending on the system size (e.g., 6.6kW, 10kW) and the quality of the components (panels and inverter). A typical high-quality 6.6kW system in Brisbane can cost between $5,000 and $9,000 after the federal STC rebate. We offer customised quotes based on your specific needs to ensure you receive the best value and performance, not just the lowest price.
Q: How much money can I save with solar power?
This really depends on your household’s electricity usage, the size of your solar system, and how much solar energy you directly use at home. Many of our Brisbane neighbours enjoy saving between $1,200 and $2,500 each year, often seeing their investment pay off in just 3-6 years.
Q: What are STCs and do I need to worry about them?
A: STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) are part of the federal government’s scheme to promote solar adoption. They serve as an upfront discount on your system’s cost. As your accredited solar electrician, Solarcell manages all the paperwork for the STCs and incorporates the discount directly into your quote, making it easy and hassle-free for you.
Q: What happens on cloudy days or at night?
A: Your solar panels will still produce some power on overcast days, just less than on a bright sunny day. At night, or when your system isn’t generating enough power, your home will automatically draw electricity from the grid as usual. If you have a solar battery, you will draw from the battery first before using the grid.
Q: What warranties come with a Solarcell installation?
A: We offer multiple layers of protection. This includes a manufacturer’s warranty on the panels (typically 15-25 years) and the inverter (5-10 years, with options to extend). Importantly, Solarcell also provides a thorough workmanship warranty on our installation, giving you full confidence in the quality of our work.
Q: Why is it important to use a local, accredited Solar Electrician in Brisbane?
A: Hiring a CEC accredited electrician like Solarcell ensures your system is installed to Australia’s strict safety and quality standards and remains eligible for government rebates. Opting for a local Brisbane electrician means you receive personalised service, accountability, and quick support if needed. We live and work within the same community as you.
