My Non-Negotiables

These are the standards I hold every system to before I recommend it. If a company can't meet these, I won't work with them, and neither should you.

Tier 1 Panels Only

No off brand or Tier 2 alternatives. Only manufacturers with proven track records and stable long term operations.

Premium Inverters

Quality inverters with genuine 10 year warranties from established manufacturers who will honour claims.

10 Year Workmanship Warranty

Full written workmanship warranty from installation companies with real business longevity to back it up.

Fully Vetted Installers

I only work with a select few companies I've personally vetted. If I wouldn't put my own family with them, I won't put you with them either.

Transparent Pricing

Full disclosure of every cost, rebate, and calculation. No hidden fees or surprises at signing.

No Pressure Sales

If solar doesn't make financial sense for your situation, I'll tell you directly. Your outcome matters more than my commission.

About Zane

I'm a renewable energy consultant helping Australian homeowners make informed decisions about solar. I work with a small group of installation companies I've personally vetted, not because they pay me the most, but because they consistently deliver on what they promise.

Most Australian homeowners are being sold cheap systems by companies competing on price rather than quality. That's a problem. A poorly designed or poorly installed system can cost you more over 10 years than it saves. My job is to make sure you get a system that actually delivers, from installers who'll still be around when you need them.

If solar makes sense for your situation, I'll help you design a system worth investing in. If it doesn't, I'll tell you straight.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions I get asked most before a consultation.

System cost depends on your usage and property, but a properly designed premium residential system typically ranges from $6,000 to $15,000 after government rebates. The rebate reduces the upfront cost significantly (usually $2,500 to $4,500). I'll give you a specific number for your situation during the consultation based on your actual bill and property, not a generic quote.
For most Australian homeowners, a properly sized system pays for itself within 4 to 7 years. After that, everything the system generates is essentially free electricity for the remaining 20+ year life of the panels. Over 10 years, most households save $15,000 to $22,000 depending on usage patterns and electricity price increases.
Solar companies are salespeople for their own products. I'm not tied to any single company, which means I can recommend what actually fits your situation rather than what I'm being paid to push. I've personally vetted the installation companies I work with. If a company doesn't meet my standards, I don't use them. You get honest advice from someone who has skin in the game with the outcome, not just the sale.
Both options are available. Many homeowners pay upfront to maximise long term savings. Others use financing so monthly repayments are lower than the electricity bill savings, meaning positive cashflow from day one. The right choice depends on your financial situation. I'll walk you through both options during the consultation.
This is exactly why I only work with installation companies that have long track records and financial stability. A 10 year workmanship warranty is worthless if the company isn't around to honour it. Panel and inverter warranties from Tier 1 manufacturers are backed by the manufacturer directly, so those remain valid regardless. I'll show you the business backing of any company I recommend so you can make an informed decision.
Most Australian roofs are suitable for solar. What matters is roof orientation, shading, condition, and available space. During the consultation I'll assess your specific property using satellite imagery and your details, then verify with an in person inspection before installation. If your roof isn't suitable, I'll tell you straight rather than pushing a system that won't perform.
The federal STC rebate applies to all Australian residential solar installations and typically reduces system cost by $2,500 to $4,500 depending on system size and location. Some states offer additional rebates or interest free loans on top of this. I'll calculate the specific rebates you're eligible for during the consultation based on your location and system size.
Not necessarily. Batteries make sense in some situations but not others. It depends on your usage patterns, tariff structure, and goals. For most households, a well designed solar system without battery pays for itself faster than a battery system. However, battery prices are dropping and blackout protection matters to some people. I'll give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation rather than upselling you on something you don't need.
Typical timeline is 4 to 8 weeks from initial consultation to installation. This includes system design, quote approval, paperwork, network connection application, and installation scheduling. Some installations happen faster if the installer has capacity, others take longer during peak periods. I'll give you a realistic timeline during the consultation based on current installer schedules.
