What Is $0 Upfront Solar?

It really is what it claims - solar panels at absolutely NO OUT-OF-POCKET COST. No hidden agenda, no hidden cost.

How it works is that the Federal and State governments, through an incentive program they've introduced, are giving out thousands of dollars to Australian homeowners to help subsidise their cost of solar installation. 

Thanks to these incentives, our CEC accredited solar installation partners are able to offer a ZERO DEPOSIT, ZERO INTEREST solar savings plan to eligible homeowners because the cost is already paid for by the savings from your energy bills. 

To put it simply, you can think of it this way:

  • By installing solar, you are "switching" your current electricity bill to a (cheaper) solar savings plan for a few years;
  • Once the savings plan is finished, your bill will be reduced TREMENDOUSLY - we are talking about 75 - 95% in savings here, as proven by the many homeowners who already have had these incentives utilised.

If that sounds too good to be true, wait till you hear this:

  • We will connect you with all the solar incentives, as well as give you access to 'bulk buy' specials - if you qualify for the program.
  • Our partners can guarantee that you will certainly pay less energy bill than you do now from the very first month. What this means is that not only will it not cost you a single cent for switching over, you can start saving money immediately.

What Is Clean Energy Council (CEC)?

The Clean Energy Council (CEC) is a renewable energy association - the peak body for the clean energy industry in Australia,


Formed in 2007, its vision centralised around the concept of powering Australia with clean energy.


Through representing and working with the country's leading renewable energy and energy storage businesses as well as rooftop solar installers, it develops and furthers clean energy growth within the country while focusing on safety and quality issues.


It is the body responsible for providing solar accreditation to individual installers. It is also where you will find the issuance of lists of approved solar panel modules, inverters and lithium batteries for the solar industry.


Why the CEC is so important and essential:


YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR FEDERAL SOLAR REBATES / ANY REBATES

  • if your system is not installed by a CEC accredited installer; or
  • if your solar panels are not ones approved by the CEC. 

This could cost you thousands - the losing out on federal solar rebates due to lack of accreditation.

What Is A CEC-Approved Retailer?

A CEC-Approved Solar Retailer is a company / business that has satisfied the Solar Retailer Code of Conduct requirements set out by the Clean Energy Council (CEC).


Being CEC-approved means that the company agrees to be committed to responsible sales and marketing activities, as well as adhering to a list of sales practices to keep you - the customer, best informed.


The keystone being - all CEC-approved retailers agree to provide a minimum of 5-year total system warranty.


It is not just about meeting the minimum requirements set out by the government, but lifting the bar higher and going beyond to boost consumer confidence that they are purchasing their solar from a company that they can trust.

What Is A CEC-Accredited Installer?

Likewise, a CEC-Accredited Installer refers to an individual that is approved by the Clean Energy Council to have satisfied and completed the relevant safety and quality qualification set out by it. 


It is an individual qualification, meaning that the person has undergone adequate training and is equipped with the expertise to install your system safely and reliably


Many CEC installers are independent contractors installing solar systems for different companies. A retailer may or may not employ any CEC installers - for those that do not, they contract out their solar installation but in any case, they MUST use a CEC-accredited individual to install a system. Why? 


Because the lack of accreditation could cost the customer (you) thousands of dollars. As mentioned above, you will lose out on your federal solar rebate if your solar system is not installed by a CEC accredited installer. So yes, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you engage one with the appropriate accreditation
