Worth asking about in Redlands
- Close to the beach or the bay? Ask whether the panels, inverter and mounting are suitable for salt air, and check the manufacturer's warranty conditions for coastal sites.
- On North Stradbroke or one of the bay islands? You can still request quotes. Not every installer travels to the islands, so ask how ferry and travel costs are included in the price.
- In a townhouse or unit? Check with your body corporate first. A Queensland Government factsheet explains the limited reasons a body corporate can refuse solar on common property.
- All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Ask for the installer's licence and accreditation details with the quote.
