    Going Solar, with team leader Rushi Patel, did a great job for me at a reasonable price. Going Solar had installed 12 solar panels 7 yrs ago and I wanted more panels and a battery system. They were able to successfully integrate the two sets of panels with the battery. The battery also provides stand alone power if mains cuts out. I can charge the battery using midnight pricing, which is a good cost saving. The team were helpful, communicative and responsive and good at providing technical information. Highly recommended.

    No electricity bills for the last four years thanks to the sound technical advice and quality components purchased from Going Solar. These folk have been in the alternative energy business for a very long time and that experience is evident. All of my off-grid solar system has been purchased through going solar and I have had no problems. I have also purchased bee keeping supplies and satisfied with the equipment. Thank you Stephen and the team at Going Solar.

    With a tricky hot water system using solar panels and a 'wetback' on our wood fired stove, we had many businesses telling us it had to be torn out and the only option was a new system. Going Solar understood our situation form the start and worked to find a suitable and affordable solution. In addition, the installation went seamlessly, with their plumber being an expert in the solar business who was also reliable and tidy! Not easy to find! I'd highly recommend the Going Solar team.

    Going Solar designed and installed a home PV system for me. Our system is on an inner city apartment roof so it was a challenging ask - 4 different roofs pointing in different directions. A number of other companies looked at the satellite view and refused to even quote for the job. Going Solar did an on-site inspection for free and then came up with a plan and quote. They were highly professional throughout the whole process. They did preliminary electrical work while our renovations were happening and then completed the job when it was finished which made the whole process very efficient. The (independent) electrical inspector was very impressed by their work. He said he sees some fairly ordinary work on some PV systems but that Going Solar's work was of a very high standard. I strongly recommend Going Solar.

Frequently asked questions

How much do solar installers typically charge?
Solar costs vary widely depending on system size, equipment choices, roof access and whether additional electrical upgrades or battery work are required. Simple panel adds or routine maintenance are typically much less involved than full system installs or battery integrations. This page shows live pricing to help compare current rates alongside the specific scope of your job.
Do solar installers charge call-out fees?
Yes — call-out fees are common for solar installers and are often charged to cover attendance and an initial assessment. Call-outs are usually separate from hourly labour and materials, and after-hours or emergency visits typically attract higher rates. Confirm whether a call-out fee is included or listed separately when comparing quotes.
Do solar installers need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Solar installation work is required to be carried out by a licensed installer in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW installers are licensed through NSW Fair Trading. Many installers also hold industry credentials such as Clean Energy Council accreditation and may display a valid state electrical contractor licence on quotes, as well as public liability insurance. These credentials can help indicate the installer has relevant training and compliance practices.
Does Going Solar have a verified ABN?
Yes. Going Solar has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
