Frequently Asked Questions
What size solar system do I need for my Sunshine Coast home?
Choosing the right size solar system for your Sunshine Coast home depends on how much electricity you use, how many people live there, what appliances you run (especially big loads like air‑conditioning or EV chargers), and how much roof space you have with good sun exposure. Many homes in the 5‑6.6 kW range provide a solid balance for small to medium families; this size often delivers enough daytime solar power on the Sunshine Coast to cover a large part of the bill without greatly overproducing. If you plan to add more power-hungry devices later, or want greater energy independence, you might opt for something larger.
How long does it take to install a solar system?
For most residential installations, once all permits and site inspections are sorted, physically installing a standard grid-tied solar system on the Sunshine Coast often takes about one to three days. That includes mounting panels, wiring, connecting the inverter, and testing. Additional days may be needed if there are tricky roof structures, shading issues, or a battery and hybrid inverter are part of the system. Also, factor in time before installation, site assessment, design, council approvals, paperwork, and parts ordering. Book a trusted solar electrician near you to get your system installed quickly and professionally.
Does the parts ordering system work during a power outage?
Not always. Standard solar-electric systems connected to the grid must shut off during power outages so that electricity isn’t fed back into the grid when lines are down. If you want power during an outage, you’ll need a system with battery storage (or a hybrid inverter with a backup circuit) and the appropriate switching or change‑over gear, so when the grid goes down, your home can safely switch to use solar‑generated and stored power.
Can you help with solar maintenance and repairs?
Yes. A good solar‑electrician near you should offer maintenance and repair services for your system on the Sunshine Coast. That includes cleaning or replacing panels, checking wiring and connections, ensuring inverters are running properly, testing output and efficiency, and inspecting mounting structures for wear or corrosion. Having regular maintenance helps your solar power system last longer, generate more reliably, and avoid unexpected drop‑offs in performance.
