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.

Cyclone Zone
Tropical Climate Zone
Very High Termite Risk
  • Cyclone-Rated Materials Required

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

  • Cooling and Ventilation Are the Priority

    Mareeba is in a tropical climate zone — cooling is the priority for any climate control work, and ventilation design matters more than insulation thickness.

  • Seasonal Rainfall

    Mareeba gets moderate rainfall, so timing matters for exterior solar installer work. Targeting the drier months gives the best run of uninterrupted days.

  • Cooler Months Mean Fewer Delays

    Summers in Mareeba get warm — on hot days, your tradie will plan their work around the temperature throughout the day, tackling heat-sensitive tasks early and adjusting as conditions change.

  • High Termite Activity

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

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.

  • 01
    Hardware brand and model

    Exact panel, inverter and battery, not vague labels.

  • 02
    STC rebate deduction

    The certificate discount shown off the gross price.

  • 03
    CEC accreditation

    The installer's Clean Energy Council number on the quote.

  • 04
    Roof layout

    A diagram showing panel positions, orientation and tilt.

  • 05
    Workmanship warranty

    In writing, five years minimum but ten is better.

  • 06
    Access extras

    Switchboard upgrades, scaffolding or tile-roof fees, named.
