Things to consider before you book

The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a solar installer.

Bushfire Prone Land
Cyclone Zone
Warm Humid Zone
High Rainfall Area
Very High Termite Risk
  • Fire Safety Assessment May Apply

    Long Island is designated bushfire prone land. A fire safety assessment may be needed for building works — check with your builder or council before starting. Vegetation management rules may apply for landscaping.

  • Cyclone-Rated Materials Required

    Long Island is in a cyclone zone — all external installations need cyclone-rated fixings and mounting. Standard fixings aren't adequate for the wind loads here.

  • Ventilation and Moisture Management Drive Design

    Long Island has warm, humid summers and mild winters — moisture management is the key design consideration for any climate control or building work here.

  • Book Early — Weather Windows Fill Fast

    Long Island gets significantly more rainfall than most of Australia — exterior solar installer work needs to target the drier months. Book well ahead, because the good weather windows fill up fast.

  • High Termite Activity

    Long Island has very high termite activity — annual inspections are essential, and any work involving timber or ground contact should factor in termite management.

Best time of year for exterior solar in Long Island

Ideal months: May to November.

What's in a good Solar quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each solar installer's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.
