Thinking about going solar? Good call.
But here is the thing, choosing the right solar installer is just as important as choosing the right panels.
The installer you pick can make or break your system’s performance, your warranties, and even your savings over time.
Here is how to make sure you are in safe hands.
1.Look for Local Experience
When it comes to solar, local knowledge matters.
A company that knows South East Queensland’s weather, roofs, energy regulations, and rebate systems is going to design a better system for your home.
✅ Local companies understand how to maximise solar output in our subtropical climate
✅ They are also easier to contact if you ever need support down the track
At Sun Flux Solar, we are proud to be a 100% South East Queensland owned and operated business.
2. Check Their Certifications
Always make sure your installer is Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited.
This ensures they meet strict industry standards for safety and quality.
Plus, CEC accreditation is usually required if you want to claim government solar rebates.
✅ CEC Accredited Installer
✅ Licensed electrician
If your quote does not mention CEC accreditation, that is a red flag.
3. Ask About Warranties and Aftercare
Good installers stand behind their work with strong warranties and support.
At minimum, you should get:
✅ Product warranties on panels and inverters (10 to 30 years)
✅ A workmanship warranty on installation (at least 10 years)
✅ Ongoing support if anything goes wrong
At Sun Flux Solar, we offer full support for the life of your system — not just install it and forget you.
4. Beware of Prices That Seem Too Good to Be True
Sure, everyone loves a bargain, but with solar, you really do get what you pay for.
Rock-bottom quotes often mean:
- Cheap, low-quality products
- Poor installation practices
- No aftercare if something goes wrong
A slightly higher upfront investment usually means much better long-term value.
Choosing the Right Solar Installer Is Everything
Solar is a big decision, but it should not be a stressful one.
Choosing a trusted, local expert makes all the difference in how much you save, how well your system performs, and how protected you are down the line.
