Free and unbiased.
We don't sell solar. We help you buy it right. Our consultants don't carry a brand on the truck, don't earn a commission on the kit, and don't get paid until the system you chose is actually installed. That's the whole model.
We're not owned by, and don't have exclusive deals with, any retailer. Whichever installer suits your roof, your bill and your network wins — your consultant earns the same fee either way.
Every retailer on our panel is Clean Energy Council-approved as a baseline — then has to pass our own checklist on install quality, warranty support and customer-service track record before they take a single one of our referrals.
Retailers pay us a flat referral fee — only when the work is actually done. No commission per kilowatt, no quota for any brand, no kickback on a battery upgrade. If you walk away from the quote, we walk too. No cost, no pressure, no awkward follow-up call.
More than 4 in 10 Australian homes now run on rooftop solar — the highest per-capita uptake on earth. 400,000 of them added a battery in the last 10 months alone. Together, Australian rooftops keep $26 billion a year out of grid bills — and pay for a quieter kind of energy independence.

Added in 10 months under the federal Cheaper Home Batteries program — about 2,000 a day, and accelerating.
What the average household cuts from their power bill after going solar. Add a battery and it climbs further.
Total kept in Australian household budgets by rooftop solar in 2025 — money no longer paid to the grid.
Pick your system type, drop in your address, upload a recent power bill. Your consultant turns it into a brief specific to your roof, your usage, and the way your household actually consumes electricity.
The right panel-and-inverter combination for your roof, sized for the next 10 years of your power bill — not the cheapest 6.6kW kit a retailer is trying to clear from the warehouse this month.
Your consultant lays out every option — panel, inverter, warranty terms, install timeline — explains the trade-offs in plain English, and answers the questions cowboys will dodge.
Once you decide, the installer does the work and your consultant stays your single point of contact — for warranty claims, performance questions, future upgrades, the lot. No being passed to a call centre.

A good solar system isn't cheap, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you the wrong one. Every quote is sized for your roof, your usage and your network — the numbers above are a starting point, not your final price.
The indicative prices we show are designed to help you compare brands. They assume a single-storey home with a tin roof and single-phase power, and they already include the federal STC rebate. Your consultant will verify these assumptions for your specific property.
Additional installation costs may apply depending on your home — common ones are double-storey access, tile roofs, switchboard upgrades, three-phase wiring, or extra safety requirements for battery siting. State-based rebates (like the NSW Battery Booster or VIC Solar Homes loan) can also change the final figure either way.
You'll receive a full written quote with every line item — hardware, install labour, rebates applied, and any custom costs — after your site assessment, before you commit to anything. No surprises on install day.

National Grid Services is your unbiased solar consultant. Solar is a complicated, expensive, and frankly intimidating purchase — and the Australian industry is full of cowboys who sell on price, undersize the system, and disappear when the warranty period starts. We exist so you don't have to navigate that alone.
Your consultant walks you through sizing, brand choice, install, and warranty in plain English. We've vetted 40+ CEC-accredited installers and we only recommend the ones still standing by their work years later. You get one person on the phone — not a queue, not a call centre, not a "specialist" reading a script.
We work with 40+ CEC-accredited solar retailers across Australia. Our panel includes premium installers like Solahart, SunPower, Smart Energy, Penrith Solar Centre, and many regional specialists, plus the major component brands — Sungrow, Tesla, Trina Solar, Jinko, REC Group, LONGi, Fronius, SolarEdge, SMA, Enphase, BYD, and more.
Every retailer on our panel has been independently vetted for installation quality, customer service, and warranty support — so you can choose with confidence.
From your first call to a system on your roof, the typical timeline is under 2 weeks. Day one your consultant talks you through sizing, brand options, and trade-offs. The next 24–48 hours we shortlist the retailers worth your time and walk through them with you. The installer handles site inspection (a few days), grid-connection approval (3–7 days), and install (usually a single day).
Your consultant stays on the line throughout. You're never passed to a retailer's queue or a chatbot.
Yes. Roof size, orientation, pitch, and shading all factor into how much solar your home can generate. Your consultant uses your address and bill profile to model roof capacity before recommending a system size — not the other way around.
If your roof is small or heavily shaded, we'll tell you honestly whether solar is worth it — and walk away if it isn't. Cowboys won't do this; they'll sell you a 6.6kW kit on a roof that can only support 4kW and let you find out the hard way. We don't get paid on installs that shouldn't go ahead, so we won't push them.
Most solar installs are completed in a single day with minimal disruption. Your power will be briefly switched off while the installer connects your system to the meter board — usually under an hour.
After installation, you continue using grid power as normal. Solar simply offsets your usage during the day, and exports excess back to the grid for a feed-in tariff.
