Before you hire a solar installer
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Solar system pricing is affected by:
- Roof complexity. Hipped roofs with multiple pitches require more racking and labour than simple gable roofs.
- Switchboard condition. Older switchboards often need upgrading before solar can be safely connected.
- Panel and inverter quality. Products with stronger warranties and better local support usually cost more.
- Inverter type. Microinverters or optimisers cost more than a single string inverter but can be worth it on shaded or multi-direction roofs.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Hiring a solar installer in Mount Druitt
Mount Druitt (postcode 2770) is in the western part of Blacktown City. A major centre in western Blacktown City, with a railway station, a large shopping centre and a mix of older and newer housing.
Older homes can have original pipes, wiring and roofing, and homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos, for example in fibro sheeting. Tell the business the age of the home and any renovations, and ask how they'll handle anything they find once work starts.
In an older home, the switchboard may need upgrading before solar can be connected safely. Ask the installer to check the board and the roof's condition, and to include any upgrade in the quote.
For solar on a home in Mount Druitt, ask the installer to show where the panels will go, how shade and roof direction affect output, and whether your switchboard or meter needs changing. If you're thinking about a battery or an EV charger, mention it so the design allows for it.
What to put in your request
Mention your roof type, whether the home is single or double storey, your rough electricity use or bill, and whether you're interested in a battery or EV charging. For an existing system, include the inverter brand and any error message. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Ask whether the installer is accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA), which the federal rebate requires, for a system design showing the panel layout and expected output, and for a quote that shows the price before and after rebates. Ask about the warranties on panels, inverter and workmanship.
Licences and rules in NSW
The electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician, and to receive small-scale technology certificates (the federal rebate), the system must be designed and installed by an installer accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA). Endeavour Energy, the electricity network in Blacktown City, may also need to approve the connection.
Solar upkeep through the year
Check your inverter or monitoring app now and then: a drop in output compared with the same time last year can mean a fault, shading or dirty panels. Keep trees trimmed back from the panels, have the system inspected as the manufacturer recommends, and don't climb on the roof to clean panels yourself.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
