How We Write Our Guides
Every guide is written by people who design and install solar and battery systems in Sydney, and checked against primary sources such as the Clean Energy Regulator, Solar Accreditation Australia, NSW Fair Trading and the electricity networks. When rebates, export limits or standards change, we update the guide and the date at the top.
Our guides explain how things work in general. Your own system should always be designed from your bills, roof and network approval, which is what our free site visit is for.
