FREE GUIDE · HOBART-BASED · INSTALLER-OWNED
What Stu tells his mates before they buy solar. Written by a solar electrician, not a salesperson.
Ten years of installing solar, distilled into a short, honest read. No sales pitch. Just what you need to know before you start getting quotes, so you ask better questions and end up with a system that actually does what you paid for.
The Solar Guide a Salesperson Would Never Give You
What I tell my mates before they buy solar. Written by a solar electrician.
WHAT'S INSIDE
How the retail-subcontractor chain really works
Why the company that sells you solar is often not the one that installs it, and what that means for your roof.
Fire risk, silent underperformance, and the battery myth
The three things that quietly go wrong after a rushed install, and the one battery fact nobody mentions until installation day.
Ten questions to ask before you sign anything
A simple checklist that does most of the work for you. Good installers won't mind them. Poor ones will.
What a proper installation actually looks like
The standard to measure every quote against, from someone who does the work himself.
WHO IT'S FROM
It's written by Stu, owner of Solar Coaster, a qualified electrician with ten years of hands-on solar installation. When you call, you talk to him. When the crew's on your roof, he's across the job. The guide is the same straight advice he gives his mates.
