The five steps, in detail
1. The 30-second eligibility check
On the homepage. Three quick inputs: your postcode, your quarterly electricity bill, and whether you already have solar. You see your rebate estimate straight away. If you want a quote, we then ask for the property address and your contact details (first and last name, email and mobile). The check is short because it only asks for what an installer needs to price your roof.
Your postcode tells us your STC zone and which state programs apply. Your bill tells us roughly what system size to look at. The address lets the installer look at your actual roof before it prices anything.
2. The specialist follow-up
Within 24 to 48 hours of the check, one of our Australian solar specialists gets in touch. They're there to give straight answers, not to sell. It's typically 15 minutes and covers four things:
- Confirm your address and bill. A quick fact-check so we don't quote the wrong rebate.
- Right-size your system. Based on your daytime usage, roof, and how long you plan to stay in the house.
- Walk through your stacked rebates. Federal STC, state programs, feed-in tariff, the lot.
- Match you with your installer. We pick one SAA-accredited installer for your postcode and roof.
3. Your matched installer
We work with a network of installers accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia. We pair you with one installer, based on:
- Coverage of your postcode
- Capacity to schedule within 4 to 6 weeks
- An active ABN on the Australian Business Register and current SAA accreditation
One installer means one quote, one number to call, and one accountable party if anything needs to change. If no installer in our network covers your postcode, we tell you that instead of passing your details on.
4. Your quote and the rebates
The installer sends you a fixed-price quote with every rebate applied as a line-item discount. You see exactly what you'd pay and exactly what each rebate is worth, so you can check it against our calculator. You're under no obligation to accept it.
5. Installation
Typical timeline: quote signed, then network (DNSP) approval, then installation. Most jobs are one day on-site, with the whole process taking 4 to 6 weeks. The STCs behind the federal rebate are created with the Clean Energy Regulator by the installer or its registered agent, and your invoice already reflects the discount.
What we actually earn
We're paid a finder's fee by the installer when you go ahead with the installation. Like any marketing cost, it is part of the installer's overheads. We don't add a fee to your quote and we never bill you. If you don't go ahead, we don't earn anything, and there's no obligation either way.
Why one installer, not several
A lead-sharing site sends your number to several installers. That usually means several calls in the same hour, and quotes that are hard to line up against each other: different panel brands, different inverters, different warranty terms, so the lowest price isn't always the cheapest job.
We send your details to one installer, checked first. You get one quote with the rebates itemised, one number to call, and one accountable party. If you want a second opinion on the price, the solar price guide shows what each system size costs installed, before and after the federal rebate.
