FAQ
The questions we're asked most
Still unsure? Call our team — no scripts, no pressure.
Most SEBSS residential customers reduce their grid consumption by 60–82% with solar alone, and up to 95% once storage is added. We model your specific savings from your last four quarterly bills before you commit.
Every eligible system receives the federal STC discount, applied upfront to your invoice. Battery and state-level incentives vary by postcode — we confirm your exact entitlements in the written proposal and lodge paperwork for you.
Our installations are delivered by in-house CEC-accredited designers and licensed electricians. The team that designs your system is the team on your roof.
Most residential systems are installed in a single day. Commercial projects are staged around your operating hours, typically 1–4 weeks depending on capacity.
Tier-1 panels carry 25-year performance warranties, inverters 10–12 years, batteries 10 years, plus SEBSS workmanship cover with in-house service response.
Yes. Orphaned-system takeover is a core part of our maintenance division — we audit, rectify and then support the system as if we'd installed it.
