Heard a few solar horror stories that made you second-guess going green?
You are not alone.
There is a lot of outdated or just plain wrong information floating around about solar energy, especially here in South East Queensland.
Today, let’s bust the biggest solar myths and set the record straight.
Myth 1: Solar Is Too Expensive for the Average Home
Not true anymore.
Thanks to federal rebates and the falling cost of solar technology, solar systems have never been more affordable for South East Queensland households.
In fact, most families can now get a quality solar setup with nothing upfront and fortnight or monthly repayments which are often less than the savings generate via the solar installation.
Plus, with rising electricity prices, you can expect to earn back your investment in around 3 to 4 years.

Myth 2: Solar Does Not Work on Cloudy Days
Sure, solar panels perform best on sunny days, but they still generate power even when it is cloudy.
Modern panels are super efficient and can produce around 10% to 25% of their usual output even under cloud cover.
Living in South East Queensland, where we average over 250 sunny days per year, makes solar a no-brainer.
Myth 3: Solar Systems Are High Maintenance
Solar systems are incredibly low maintenance.
In most cases, you just need an occasional panel clean and a quick system health check every few years to keep things running smoothly.
At Sun Flux Solar, we offer system checks and maintenance support if you ever want that extra peace of mind.
✅ No moving parts means fewer things to break
✅ No ongoing fuel or running costs
Myth 4: You Need a Battery for Solar to Make Sense
Batteries are awesome, but you do not need one to benefit from solar.
Most South East Queensland households see excellent savings by installing solar panels alone and using their power during the day.
You can always add a battery later if your needs change, but it is not essential to start saving big.
Myth 5: All Solar Companies Are the Same
Unfortunately, this is one myth that has caught a lot of homeowners out.
The reality is, not all solar companies offer the same quality, service, or aftercare.
At Sun Flux Solar, we pride ourselves on local expertise, premium products, and ongoing customer support — because we are here for the long haul, not just the install.
