For new NSW homeowners
Settled in. Now let's sort the power bill.
The first year in a new home is the cheapest time to add solar appliances, as they aren't worn in, you're already setting up, and the rebates haven't changed (yet).
When to install in your first 12 months.
Solar slots naturally fit into the move-in calendar. Here's the path most new NSW homeowners take.
Month 0–1
Get the roof check
Free, 60 seconds, no commitment. Tells you what you can fit before any tradie quotes.
Month 1–2
Decide on hot water + heating
Heat-pump hot water + reverse-cycle? Solar's a lot more useful. Gas legacy? Run smaller.
Month 2–3
Quotes + install
Most NSW installs take 1 day once approval lands. Your installer handles the grid application.
Month 3+
Optimise with monitoring
App-based monitoring tells you when to run the dishwasher. Battery decision can wait 12 months.
Typical new homeowner · 6.6 kW + heat-pump hot water
$1,800–$2,600/ year
