FAQ
We're here to help
Common questions about going solar with Start Solar in Victoria.
What should I consider before purchasing a solar system?
Consider your roof’s direction it should get sunlight between 9am and 3pm. You’ll need around 15x15m of clear roof space for a minimum 1.5kW system, and the roof should be strong enough to support the panels.
Does installing solar increase my home's value?
Yes. A solar PV system adds a capital asset to your property and is increasingly attractive to buyers looking for energy-efficient homes with lower running costs.
How does solar save me money?
Solar reduces your electricity bills and may qualify you for government incentives. Combined with rebates and feed-in tariffs, customers often save thousands over the system’s lifetime.
How long does installation take?
Once paperwork and grid approval are complete, most residential installations are completed in a single day, depending on system size and location.
What is the lifespan of a solar system?
When maintained properly, solar systems produce electricity for 25+ years. Most panel manufacturers guarantee at least 80% efficiency for 25 years.
