What to look for when choosing a solar installer in Perth
The most important credential to check for is Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation. CEC accredited installers have met a nationally recognised standard for solar installation competency, and in practical terms it matters because federal STC rebates — which reduce the upfront cost of a system — can only be claimed through a CEC accredited installer. Beyond accreditation, the installer or their team must hold a current Western Australian electrical contractor’s licence. Solar installation is electrical work, and any business that cannot confirm both credentials before you sign anything is worth walking away from.
Perth is one of the best locations in the world for solar generation, but that does not mean every system or every installer is equal. Before committing to a quote, ask whether the business does its own installations or subcontracts the work out — some retailers sell systems and then hand the job to a third party, which can create problems when warranty or workmanship issues arise. A credible installer will want to see your roof orientation, shading, current energy usage, and meter setup before recommending a system size. A quote produced without a site visit is a guess.
Red flags worth watching for include unusually low pricing built around unfamiliar panel or inverter brands with no established local warranty support, pressure to sign quickly to lock in a rebate that is supposedly ending soon, and installers who cannot provide references or examples of recent Perth installations.
