The 3 solar traps

Going solar in Australia shouldn't feel like buying a used car.

But for most people, it does. Three things send Aussies running back to their power retailer, paying the lazy tax for another year.

Dodgy quotes

Lowball numbers that balloon on install day. Cheap panels swapped at the last minute. You can't compare apples to apples, because no two quotes look the same.

Confusing rebates

STCs. Feed-in tariffs. State schemes. The 2026 federal incentive is real and it's big, but most installers won't tell you exactly how much you qualify for, because the smaller the rebate looks, the bigger their margin.

Pushy salespeople

You enquire once. You get called five times that week. Then comes the in-home pitch with the “today only” discount. It's exhausting, and it's why most Aussies put solar in the too-hard basket.

Sound familiar? You're not alone... and it's not your fault.

2027 step-down

Waiting until 2027 cuts your combined rebate by ~$1,000.

The STC deeming period drops every January 1, and the federal battery rebate steps down ~9.7% a year alongside it. On a typical 10kW solar + 13.5kWh battery, that's ~$700 off your panels and ~$340 off your battery. Stacked, eligible households can still claim $8,000+ in 2026, but only until the next step-down. Lock it in now.

FAQ

Still got questions?

Solar is not as expensive as it used to be. Most quality systems pay for themselves through energy savings and rebates within 3 to 5 years. After that, you are essentially getting free power for the next 20+ years.
