Frequently Asked Questions

Which Australian cities get the most solar energy?

Darwin (5.8 peak sun hours), Perth (5.4h), and Brisbane/Gold Coast (5.2h) lead the country. Even Melbourne (4.0h) and Hobart (3.6h) generate enough solar energy for excellent returns.

Does my location affect solar panel costs?

Yes. System costs vary by state due to different installer competition levels, labour costs, and available rebates. Western Australia and Queensland tend to have the lowest prices, while Tasmania is typically the most expensive.
