Solar installation is no doubt one of the major investments 💵 where your finances rely on an upfront (all expenses of first installation) and in the longer term (in terms of your electricity bills). In this blog, based on our customer support experience 🤝, we’ll share all the realistic cases/questions or concerns with you that will help you a lot in your solar installation in Victoria and how The SolarPedia team assisted them until a successful installation.
Key Points
Signing up for an 8kW residential solar installation in Victoria
We’ll discuss one of the recent cases, 8kW solar system installation in Springvale, Victoria 3171. Since, it makes sense to evaluate the installation cost, and it’s important to break down and evaluate component-level costs (e.g., GoodWe 6kW inverter cost, Fronius 6kW inverter cost). Discussing your rebate and STC’s eligibility, battery interest-free loans, and the required documentation is crucial ⚠️. Knowing how and when Solar Victoria will reach out/contact to you is also essential (to gather required documents).
A use case – the complete solar installation process
Our valued customer asked all the above questions. Let us break it down starting from the inception of the solar request and how we assisted him for your ease 👍.
Customer submitted the solar request
We received a request from the customer. The request form covers the customer’s name, address, email, phone number, and a message (e.g. system requirements). We acknowledged the email/request as soon as we received it. Super fast 🚀, isn’t it? You may wonder if you contact us after office hours, whether you’ll still be responded to. Yes, our support team is always there at your convenience to provide you with all possible details and get your solar request registered.
Property type, rebate eligibility and electric meters
When we contacted back to the customer. He provided us all details regarding his property (e.g. property type, switchboard and electric bills). Furthermore, he mentioned that he has two meters. Therefore, they must be consolidated. This particular case was raised with the meter consolidation team. Our team will stay in touch with them until the resolution of this case (meter consolidation). We checked his solar Victoria rebate eligibility.
Smart meter, inverter and solar panels selection
Our valued customer was interested in Fronius 6kW solar inverter with Trina solar panels. We prepared a quotation for him. After reviewing the quotation, we got an email from him to add a smart electric meter and replace Fronius with GoodWe 6kW inverter. Our team shared updated quote with him in no time 😉. We gave a quote that he couldn’t refuse 🙌 and that is it. He signed up with us and joined The SolarPedia family. Take a look at some other questions/concerns that we answered.
Is inverter battery ready?
Yes, GoodWe DNS G3 GW6000-DNS-30 (6kW) inverter that we proposed, is battery ready.
