Why Sam

The pushy door-knocker route vs the Sam way

Same clean energy goal — a completely different experience.

Pushy sales reps & cowboys

  • ✕High-pressure in-home tacticsSales reps demanding a deposit "today only" before you can compare other quotes.
  • ✕Hidden rebate feesInflated retail prices that swallow up the government STC rebate in dealer margins.
  • ✕Orphaned systemsCheap unvetted contractors that go out of business within 2 years, voiding warranties.

Australian consumers lose thousands every year to aggressive commission-only sales reps.

Ask Sam

Got quick questions about rooftop solar in Australia?

What size system is best for our home?

A 6.6kW system is the standard Australian sweet spot for quarterly power bills under $750. If you have air conditioning or an electric vehicle, a 10kW setup with optional battery storage provides the biggest savings.

Do I have to pay upfront before the rebate?

No! The Federal STC rebate (approx. $2,200 to $3,800 depending on your postcode) is deducted directly on the installer's invoice as an point-of-sale discount.

Are batteries worth it in Australia now?

Yes. With feed-in tariffs hovering around 4c–8c/kWh while grid peak rates top 38c–45c/kWh, storing daytime solar power for evening use provides massive bill reductions and black-out protection.

How long does solar panel installation take?

The physical rooftop install is usually finished in a single day (4–6 hours). Grid approval and digital smart meter connection typically take 1–2 weeks.

What Australians tell Sam

Real feedback from Australian families and businesses who saved with Solar Sam.
