Tell Us Your Postcode
What happens:
By entering your postcode or suburb, we help you navigate the specific solar landscape of your area. Australia has a complex grid system with different rules for every region.
- Identify local power distributor (DNSP): We determine which energy network manages your poles and wires, which is critical for understanding your export limits.
- Check local rebate availability: We verify federal STC eligibility and look for any state-specific solar or battery subsidies currently active in your suburb.
- Apply regional solar data: We use your location's average daily sun hours to provide a more accurate (though still estimated) output calculation.
💡 Why it matters: Solar rules, grid connection requirements, and rebate values differ significantly between NSW, VIC, QLD, and other states. Starting with your location ensures you get relevant information.

We Check Rebates & System Fit
What happens:
Our platform runs a preliminary analysis of your home's solar potential. We factor in your current energy usage and typical roof configurations found in your area.
- STC Rebate Calculation: We calculate the upfront discount you are entitled to under the federal government's Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme.
- System Sizing Recommendation: Based on your electricity bill, we estimate whether a 6.6kW, 10kW, or larger system provides the best return on investment for your household.
- Battery Suitability: We assess if adding battery storage makes financial sense based on your night-time energy consumption patterns.
What we DON'T do:
We provide honest estimates, not sales pitches. We don't make "guaranteed savings" claims because solar output depends on real-world factors like weather and shading.
