Residential Solar in Northern NSW — Common Questions
How much does a home solar system cost?
It depends on the system size, the panels and inverter you choose, and your roof. Rather than quote a headline price, we give you a clear, itemised quote for your specific home — with the federal incentive shown separately — so you can see exactly what you'll pay.
How much will I save on my power bill?
Savings depend on your household's energy use, your electricity tariff, and how much of your solar you use during the day versus export. We'll give you a tailored savings estimate, with the assumptions written down, as part of your quote. Actual results vary from home to home.
What size solar system do I need?
That comes down to your daily energy use and your plans — a bigger household, a pool, ducted air conditioning, an EV or a battery all point to a larger system. Our team sizes your system around your actual bills during a free assessment.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in a single day, once the network approvals and paperwork are sorted — which we handle for you.
What rebates or incentives are available?
The federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme reduces the upfront cost through small-scale technology certificates (STCs), which we claim and apply as a point-of-sale discount. Eligibility criteria apply, and the incentive steps down each year until the scheme ends in 2030. EFS Solar is not affiliated with any government body.
What warranties come with my system?
Our Tier 1 panels come with a 30-year performance warranty, batteries and inverters carry a 10-year warranty, and our installation workmanship is backed by a 30-year lifetime warranty. We put every warranty in writing in your quote.
Will solar work on my roof?
Most roofs are suitable. Orientation, tilt, shading and available space all affect output — we assess these during your free on-site assessment and design the system to suit.
