Solar Rebates in 2024
The Ultimate Guide

The consensus in the scientific community is that climate change is the single greatest threat facing humanity. And it’s self-inflicted. While no snowflake feels responsible for an avalanche, a recent survey showed 71% of Aussies are dead set on tackling their carbon footprint. Some 4.0M Australians have already started reducing their emissions with rooftop solar. Installing solar is a game-changer for minimising your impact on the environment (as well as your back pocket).

Our mission at Your Solar Quotes is to help everyone access the benefits of solar. We love the immediate impact that solar power has on reducing emissions and increasing your bank balance. To describe solar in two words - it’s a win-win. A quality solar system installed on your roof can be cash-flow positive from day one.

For this reason, we rise with the sun every morning, inspired to help as many Australians as possible generate clean green energy, reduce their power bills, and kickstart the renewable energy revolution to create a brighter future for us all.

The journey of those 4.0M Australians now enjoying the benefits of solar started by getting solar quotes. Unlike car brands, most people don’t know the names of quality solar brands and quality installers. And like every industry that has exceptionally generous Government incentives, there are some fast-talking solar cowboys who are trying to make a quick buck. Sometimes it can be hard to see the forest for the trees.

At Your Solar Quotes, we understand most customers' vulnerable position when first enquiring about solar. That’s why we have spent years building a huge network of reputable CEC accredited suppliers whom we have personally vetted to ensure customers seeking quotes through our website have the best experience.

Still, more affordable brands are available for customers looking for a reliable return on investment that doesn’t break the bank. The brands you can trust section of our Definitive Solar Tips Guide showcases trusted solar panel brands for every budget. Please note that most will use only our recommended brands when you request obligation-free quotes from our CEC accredited installers.

Comparing solar quotes from different suppliers can be confusing. How do you spot a good deal if you have nothing to compare it with? The answer is comparing multiple quotes because it forces the solar companies to compete for your business.

The most common issue that customers typically face when comparing quotes, is that they have been quoted for different systems. Therefore, the best way to see how solar quotes compare is to obtain quotes for equivalent systems. To do this, you need to ask the solar companies to quote you for the same:

• Number and brand of panels
• Brand of inverter
• Brands of other components (Micro-inverters/optimisers)
• Brand of battery storage

If you receive the above information in writing from each supplier, along with warranty details, installation costs & payback projections, you’ll be comparing apples with apples, and you’ll find a great solar deal in no time.

Another major factor when comparing quotes is to consider the company's reputation. The easiest way to learn about a companies reputation is to complete a quick google search of their name along with the word 'review'. Purchasing a solar system is a fantastic investment, and the system will be on your roof likely for 25+ years, so you want to do business with a great company that will be around for the long haul.

Fortunately for our customers, we have done the leg work for you. We have curated a network of suppliers that we trust to provide Your Solar Quotes’ customers with apples for apples solar quote comparisons - just click 'get quotes' and you'll receive the red carpet treatment of going solar!

Investing in a solar system is an exciting investment and YES - solar really does pay off! A quality solar system installed by a reputable supplier can provide you with an ~20% return on investment, far higher than many alternative investment opportunities. One in four Australian homes is now taking part in the solar revolution. They are already enjoying solar's legendary three to five-year payback period. These families can expect to have year-on-year savings for a long time because solar panels have long linear efficiency warranties and the sun keeps on rising! In addition to the obvious financial incentives in the form of Government solar rebates and reductions in your power bill, installing solar has the added benefit of improving the value of your home, reducing your carbon emissions, and increasing your energy independence.
