Guides & resources
The things worth understanding before you sign anything.
Not content marketing. These are the questions that decide whether a solar quote is good or bad, written out properly so you can judge ours against anyone else's.
- No sales pitch
- Written by installers
- Updated as programs change
Start here.
Six pages that cover almost everything people ask us. Each one is maintained rather than replaced.
Every Victorian solar rebate, explained
Which programs exist, who qualifies, and how they come off your quote rather than being claimed back later.
The battery rebate and what it changed
Storage used to be a long payback. The federal program is the single biggest reason that is no longer true.
Heat pump hot water rebates
Hot water is usually the second largest line on a household bill, and it carries some of the most generous discounts available.
What size system do I actually need?
5kW through 15kW compared side by side, with panel counts and roof space worked out rather than guessed.
How we choose what goes on your roof
The part of a quote most people cannot compare, which is exactly where corners get cut.
The full question list
Every question we are regularly asked, grouped by topic, from warranties to what happens in a blackout.
Editorial note
Why there is no drip of weekly blog posts here
Most solar company blogs exist to catch search traffic, not to be read. They rehash the same five topics every quarter and go stale the moment a rebate changes, which is worse than useless because a visitor cannot tell which page is current.
We would rather maintain a small number of pages properly. Each of the guides below is the primary page for its subject on this site, it is dated, and it is updated when the underlying program changes rather than being replaced with a fresh post that says almost the same thing.
If there is something you want explained that is not covered here, ask us and we will answer it directly. Call 1800 577 319 or email hello@lumenx.com.au.
