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.
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.
Based on typical local rainfall, temperature and humidity.
