Already Have Solar?
If your solar system is more than 4 years old, it might not be performing at its peak. Over time, panels, inverters, and other components can lose efficiency reducing your energy savings. A Solar Health Check ensures your system is running safely, efficiently, and delivering the maximum return on your investment. Book your Solar Health Check today.
Why Get A Solar Health Check?
Maximise Your Investment
Just like your health or your vehicle, regular solar health checks are essential. Debris, weather, and normal wear can reduce performance or even create safety risks. By inspecting your system every 3–4 years, you can catch issues early and avoid costly repairs or lost solar energy.
Protect Your Home & Your Family
Electrical faults can have dangerous consequences. A solar health check can help identify these potential hazards, such as faulty wiring or damaged components.
Extend the Lifetime of Your Solar System
Like any other household technology, solar installations require maintenance. Protect your investment and extend the lifespan of your system by catching minor issues early - before they become major problems.
Improve the Value of Your Home

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a residential solar system, and how does it work?
A residential solar system harnesses sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate electricity for your home. The system converts sunlight into DC electricity, which is then converted into AC electricity by an inverter, supplying power to your household appliances. Excess energy can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.

What size solar system is suitable for my home?
The appropriate system size depends on your household’s energy consumption:
6–8kW: Ideal for smaller households or families with lower power demands.
10–13kW: Suitable for average Queensland households looking to save on energy bills.
13kW+: Recommended for larger households or families with higher energy needs.
