Start with the essentials
A typical rooftop installation includes panels, an inverter, wiring, protection and mounting. Savings depend on generation, self-consumption, tariffs and export credits. Grid-connected systems may stop during outages unless designed with suitable backup.
What you can do
- Review a year of bills and check roof ownership, shading and structural suitability.
- Obtain itemised proposals with equipment specifications, warranties and maintenance terms.
- Confirm current eligibility, connection and metering requirements through official scheme and utility channels.
Keep in mind
Do not assume a fixed payback period or a zero bill. Installation and electrical work require qualified professionals and applicable approvals.
