FAQs
How many years of experience does your team have with electrical and solar installations in Newcomb?
Our senior electricians and solar specialists bring more than 20 years of combined, hands-on experience in domestic and commercial projects throughout Newcomb and the wider Bellarine Peninsula. This depth of knowledge means we can design, install and maintain systems efficiently while complying with all local regulations and Australian Standards.
Are your electricians and solar installers fully licensed and accredited?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds a current A-Grade Electrical Licence for Victoria and Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation for grid-connected and hybrid solar installations. We also maintain regular professional development to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and safety requirements.
What is included in a typical solar installation package?
Our standard package covers a site inspection, system design tailored to your roof orientation and energy usage, supply of Tier-1 panels and high-efficiency inverter, mounting hardware, full electrical wiring, grid connection paperwork, and a detailed handover with monitoring app setup. Optional extras such as battery storage, EV charger integration and ongoing maintenance plans can be added.
How long does the installation process take from approval to switch-on?
Once you approve the quote and we receive distributor permission, most residential systems are installed in one day, followed by a mandatory safety inspection. Grid connection approval typically arrives within 5–10 business days, at which point you can start exporting power and receiving feed-in credits. Larger commercial arrays may take 2–5 days depending on system size and roof complexity.
What warranties and after-sales support do you offer?
All panels come with a 25-year performance warranty and a 12-year product warranty, while inverters are covered for 10 years. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 5 years, and we provide free system health checks at 12 and 24 months. A local Newcomb-based service team is on call for any warranty claims or troubleshooting.
How much can I expect to save on my electricity bills with solar?
Savings depend on system size, household consumption patterns and feed-in tariff rates. As a guide, a 6.6 kW system in Newcomb can offset 60–80 % of an average family’s annual electricity costs, generating around 9,500 kWh per year and delivering payback in 3–5 years. Our consultants will analyse your actual bills to give a personalised forecast before you commit.
