FAQs
Why is Mascot a great location for installing solar panels?
Mascot enjoys an average of more than 4 hours of peak sunshine per day throughout the year, giving homeowners and businesses an excellent opportunity to generate clean electricity on-site. The suburb’s low-rise housing, ample roof space, and proximity to Sydney CBD make rooftop solar a practical way to offset rising grid prices, cut carbon emissions, and increase property value.
What size solar PV system do I need for my Mascot home or business?
System size depends on your current electricity usage, roof orientation, and future energy goals (EV charging, battery storage, etc.). As a rough guide: • Small units & apartments: 3–4 kW (6–10 panels) • Average family homes: 5–7 kW (12–18 panels) • Large homes or small businesses: 8–10 kW (20–25 panels) • Commercial premises: 15 kW and above Our team will analyse your past bills, perform a shade assessment with satellite data, and design a custom system to match your budget and roof space.
How much can I save on electricity bills with solar in Mascot?
Savings vary with system size, self-consumption habits, and feed-in tariff rates. A typical 6.6 kW residential system in Mascot can cut grid imports by 60–80 %, translating to $1,200–$1,800 in annual bill reductions at current NSW tariffs. With energy prices rising faster than inflation, most systems pay for themselves in 3–5 years and keep delivering free power for 20+ years.
What government rebates or incentives are available for solar installation in Mascot?
1. Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs): Federal incentive that reduces upfront cost by roughly $35–$40 per panel in 2024. 2. NSW Energy Savings Scheme: Additional discounts for qualifying households and small businesses. 3. Feed-in tariffs: Mascot residents can earn 7–15 c/kWh for excess solar sent to the grid (rate varies by retailer). 4. Interest-free loans & rebates: The NSW Government’s Empowering Homes program offers zero-interest loans for installations with batteries in certain postcodes (subject to eligibility). We handle all paperwork and apply the incentives as an instant point-of-sale discount.
How long does a typical solar installation take and will it disrupt my routine?
Residential installs are usually completed in a single day, while larger commercial arrays can take 2–4 days. Our Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited electricians schedule work around your availability, isolate power only during the final wiring (about 30 minutes), and leave your roof watertight at every stage. All scaffolding or safety rails are removed before we leave, and we provide a hand-over pack explaining system monitoring.
What maintenance is required for solar panels and how long do they last?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. We recommend: • Visual checks and panel cleaning every 6–12 months (more often if your roof is under aircraft flight paths or near salt spray). • Inverter performance monitoring via the supplied app to spot any issues early. • A professional electrical inspection every 5 years. Tier-1 panels we install carry a 25-year performance warranty (output ≥85 % of original) and a 12-year product warranty. Quality inverters have 10-year warranties, extendable to 15–20 years. With minimal upkeep, your system should generate power for 25–30 years.
