Why should you consider installing solar panels?
Installing solar panels on your property can offer incredible benefits, such as:
Energy savings: Solar power is a great way to save money on your monthly utility bill. With solar panels installed, you rely on the grid less, or not at all. How much you can save will depend on the amount of energy you use and if solar rebates are currently on offer in your area.
Feed-in tariffs: If you produce more electricity than you use, you can even take advantage of feed-in tariffs. These are payments made by electricity retailers for surplus electricity you generate that is sent into the grid. Feed-in tariffs make solar panels an even more financially savvy investment.
Carbon footprint: As it uses sunlight, a renewable resource, solar power creates sustainable energy. Solar also doesn’t burn fossil fuels or cause carbon emissions when it is being used, so it avoids the environmental downsides of those power sources.
Property value: Typically, installing solar panels on your property can increase its value and help it sell faster on the market. Homes or businesses with solar capabilities can be more attractive to potential buyers.
Power independence: Even if you’re not using off-grid solar, installing solar panels can offer some degree of energy independence. Combining a residential solar system with battery storage systems can ensure you have power during outages or weather disruptions.

Solar battery installation
To really maximise the potential of your solar panels, consider investing in a solar battery. While it’s not necessary for panels to function, a solar battery enables you to store power for use when the sun isn’t shining.
To ensure the solar battery stays in good condition and is stored properly, it must be placed in a dry, secure and accessible location. It must also be connected correctly.
We’re experts in solar battery installation. Whether you want a battery to go with your new system or to add one to an existing system, we’ve got the expertise to get the job done right.
What is the process of installing solar panels?
Here’s the process we follow to install your solar system to the highest professional standards:
Site assessment: A qualified member of our team will evaluate your property for solar installation. This can also include checking if the switchboard can handle the new electrical load. Your residence may need upgrading before solar installation can begin.
System design: If your home is appropriate for solar installations, the system will be customised and tailored to suit your needs. This includes determining what size the system should be and which brand is most suitable.
Panel mounting: Solar panels are typically installed on your property’s rooftop to ensure they receive the maximum amount of sunlight.
Electrical components: To form a complete array, an installer will need to connect the panels to the property and the inverter, using wiring and other electrical components. Effective installation ensures the inverter can convert the DC electricity from panels into AC electricity fit for your home.
Battery installation: We’ll also install a battery if you choose to have one. This involves storing it in an appropriate location and ensuring it is correctly connected to your system.
Grid connection: If you have a grid-tied system, your solar array will need to be connected to the system. This ensures you can still receive electricity if you are using more electricity than you can generate, and allows you to take advantage of feed-in tariffs.
Solar panel servicing and maintenance
Once your solar panels have been installed, it is crucial that they receive regular maintenance services. System issues may go unseen without regular inspection.
Plus, dirty panels can cause inefficient energy production. Certain substances can damage your panels over time if they build up.
Our team at Climate Plus excels at solar panel maintenance and repairs. We are fully equipped and qualified for each job, and we are committed to catching small issues before they become big problems.
Our expert crew also performs thorough and eco-friendly solar panel cleaning. This clears corrosive substances from surfaces and ensures cells are receiving sunlight.
We’ll also check your solar inverter for faults and review any errors registered on your system monitor. Finally, we’ll ensure that all wiring is not exposed and is in good condition. This prevents electrical hazards.
Benefits of regular maintenance checks include increased efficiency, lower repair costs over time and warranty maintenance.
We’ll ensure your system continues to function properly long after we finish our installation. You can trust Climate Plus to be your long-term maintenance partner.
The importance of quality solar panel installation
While a solar panel installation can be a fantastic chance to enjoy clean, renewable energy, a poor installation may result in additional costs and repairs. It is crucial that you rely on a fully qualified professional to ensure your system is functioning properly from day one.
Impacts of poor panel installation include:
Placement and orientation: Your panels need to be oriented to receive sunlight throughout the day. If panels are under a shaded area or miss sunlight at certain hours, their efficiency may be seriously compromised. Panels too close to the edge of the roof pose structural and weather-related risks. Poor placement can also cause destructive hotspots.
Connection: Cables should not be clearly exposed in most solar panels, as this leaves them vulnerable to weather conditions. Damaged or corroded cables are a health risk, and a poor connection to components like the inverter severely affects how much energy you are receiving.
Damage: Chipped or cracked panels or damage to your roof are signs that installers may have rushed or poorly installed your system. A roof that was damaged during installation can also cause ongoing issues.
Energy bills: Once your system is online, you should notice a decrease in your energy spending. If your electricity bill is unchanged, or there is a drop in energy production after initial installation, then your panels may be poorly installed.

Frequently asked questions
The cost of solar panel installation can vary based on many factors. These include whether the company is local, relies on subcontractors and offers local support and service.
One of the benefits of solar panels in your home is that they can pay themselves off within around 5-10 years. This is due to the money you’ll save on energy costs.
Solar panels generally come with a 25-year performance warranty. Typically, this means that your panels should perform at at least 80% capacity for up to 25 years.
The major rebates and incentives you may be able to take advantage of for your system include:
Home Energy Support Program: This ACT program offers a rebate of up to $2,500 on rooftop solar systems. To be eligible for this program, you must hold one of a number of concession cards.
Sustainable Household Scheme: Under this federal scheme, you can get a 3% interest loan on the purchase of a solar battery, if you meet the eligibility criteria.
Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme: This federal scheme offers upfront discounts on the price of certain solar panels and solar batteries, if eligibility criteria are met.
At Climate Plus, we have the expertise to guide you through the rebate and incentive process, allowing you to get your solar system up and running as affordably as possible. For more information, check out our complete guide to solar rebates in Canberra.
The right size of solar system for you varies depending on:
The size of the property.
How much electricity you need.
The current price of electricity and your feed-in tariffs.
The amount of sunshine in your region.
How much you’re willing to spend on the system.
A quality solar installer like Climate Plus can help you determine exactly what size solar system you need for your home and budget, including the right brands.
The key benefits of servicing and maintaining your solar panels are:
Increasing efficiency: Preventive maintenance ensures your system’s performance is running at maximum energy output.
Lower repair costs: Routine inspections ensure issues are caught before they need to be repaired or replaced.
Preventing defects and issues: Faults like micro-cracks and hotspots can be caught by professionals during inspections, preventing them from becoming bigger issues.
Maintaining warranty: Booking regular maintenance may be required to maintain your solar panel warranty.
Had Brandon from Climate Plus out to service our air conditioner in Canberra and couldn’t be happier with the result. He arrived on time, was incredibly professional, and clearly knew his stuff. Brandon took the time to explain exactly what he was doing, gave the unit a thorough clean and service, and had it running better than ever — heating the house faster and noticeably quieter. If you’re looking for reliable air conditioning service in Canberra, ask for Brandon at Climate Plus. Honest pricing, quality workmanship, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend for anyone needing AC servicing, repairs, or maintenance in the ACT.
I'll definitely be engaging Climate Plus in the future for other needs as well such as plumbing and solar!

Really happy with our recent solar install from Climate+. Bobby gave us a competitive quote and the installation team were easy to deal with and responsive to our needs, and the install went very smoothly.
We’re now all set with our Aiko/Sigenergy 14.25kW solar panel/32kW battery system and enjoying the move towards energy self sufficiency.
Would highly recommend them for quality work and a positive client experience.

Climate Plus made the whole process of getting off gas and going fully solar very easy. Their team was able to come out promptly, explained the options clearly and logically, and came back with very competitive pricing. They were also really easy to deal with as I juggled other works that needed to happen prior to the solar install; they were super accommodating of the small delay our other tradespeople necessitated. The install went very smoothly, the team were polite, respectful, and friendly - pleasure to have on site. They even replaced a couple of pre-existing cracked tiles for us as well. The solar system and hot water system they recommended and installed are working brilliantly. Very easy to navigate the interfaces and outside of a couple of very rainy days, the system has meant we have been effectively off grid since it was installed.

10/10. Thoroughly impressed with this company, from the first consultation to the installation was a pleasant experience. Liam came to our home to quote for solar panels and batteries and was such a genuine and honest bloke who made us feel very comfortable and confident he and his team could deliver what we were after. The tradies that completed the install were the most polite, friendly and skilled tradesmen and are an integral part of this company. Not often you find tradesmen that have the care and work ethic these young men had.

We recently had our hot water system replaced by Climate Plus after logging an issue. They kept us informed every step of the way through phone calls and text messages. They quickly identified a problem with the compressor and ultimately decided that replacing the entire unit was the best solution.
Their team (including Jack and Steve who did the legwork) were friendly, professional, and easy to deal with throughout the installation.
A big thank you to the team for getting our hot water back during the middle of a very cold winter! We really appreciate the service and would happily recommend Climate Plus.

I had a 20kW solar system installed with a 25kW battery by Climate Plus and couldn’t be happier. My household is now completely self-sufficient – no longer have power bills at all.
While I did receive some cheaper quotes, Climate Plus offered very competitive pricing, and the service was above and beyond anyone else I spoke to. From the initial consultation to the final install, everything was professional, efficient, and clearly explained.
Highly recommend Climate Plus if you’re looking for quality solar and battery installation with excellent customer after care.
Photos were provided by Climate Plus after install, they wouldn’t let me up with them 🤣

Had Truman come out to look at a gas heater that had faulted and locked itself. Super friendly service, ran some diagnostic checks, made some adjustments and got the heater running again. Explained everything in detail as he went, then advised on potential next steps if I encounter the issue again. Felt informed the whole time, highly recommended!
