Australia purchase checks
Make the shortlist quote-ready
These checks sit beside the benchmark score. They are site, tariff and contract questions that no product score can settle.
- Lock the exact model and installation-date listing.
Ask for every model number to appear on the quote and order. The Clean Energy Council product lists are live: STC creation requires listed products at installation, and network requirements may also depend on current approval.
- Obtain the site-specific connection settings.
Have the retailer state the supply phase, inverter connection limit, export limit and any export-control cost. The local network connection agreement, not a generic datasheet, determines those settings. See the Australian Government's connection guidance.
- Test savings against the household, not a brochure.
Ask which bills or interval data, tariff, feed-in rate, export limit and future loads support the savings and payback claim. Self-consumed electricity and tariff timing usually matter more than a headline feed-in rate. See the system sizing and battery savings guidance.
- Specify the operating outcome.
Match the exact module model number, power class and label to the final design. Then check the proposed array size, roof layout, inverter limit and any export control as one system.
- Name the party responsible after installation.
Keep the retailer, installer, manufacturer warranty and escalation path in the contract. Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply separately from any manufacturer warranty; where one business supplied both product and installation, it is generally responsible for the remedy. See the ACCC guidance.
