When comparing solar quotes on the Gold Coast, check that each one clearly lists the panel and inverter brands, system size, estimated generation, installation costs and any applicable incentives such as STCs. Confirm whether the installer is appropriately licensed and uses a Clean Energy Council-accredited designer or installer where relevant. Ask about roof suitability, cyclone and wind-loading considerations, grid-connection requirements, warranties, monitoring and after-sales support. Compare expected performance using your household’s electricity use and tariff, rather than choosing solely on the lowest price. You can also verify assumptions with your electricity retailer or a qualified solar professional.
