Independent comparison service
Solar Market is a free comparison service. We line up 3 quotes from accredited installers who service your area, so you can compare properly before you spend a cent. We do not sell or install systems ourselves.
The installers cover our service, never you, and we do not sell or install a single system ourselves. So there is no brand we need you to buy.
No system to sell you
Accredited retailers who service your area, many of whom are also New Energy Tech Approved Sellers. We take the time to match you properly rather than handing you a generic list.
Accredited installers only
Three quotes side by side, and no obligation to take any of them. Compare properly, ask the awkward questions, walk away if it is not right.
No obligation, ever
Customers around Australia sent us a selfie and answered three questions about going solar. Here's what they told us.
Scott · Hallett Cove SA
I used Solar Market to get 3 quotes because...
3 quotes are perfect to become informed on the best price, service and size we can get.
My hot tip for buying solar is...
Check your local energy regulator for any solar regulations in your suburb. There may be a limit on your output that can impact the size system you need.

I was confused by the numerous offers to install solar arriving in my online and roadside mailbox. I wanted an honest opinion.

How it works
An instant quote tool can pass your details to three installers in seconds. We would rather take a little longer and get the match right.
A few questions about your roof, your power bills and what you want the system to do. Every answer is something we match on, which is why we ask.
The step that makes the difference
We work out which installers genuinely suit your job: who covers your area, who has done work like yours, and who has the track record to back it up. Then we approach 3 of them from our vetted network. Three installers chosen for your home, not simply the next three in line.
What vetted means
Your quotes come from accredited retailers, many of whom are also New Energy Tech Approved Sellers. And the vetting does not stop once a retailer joins: we monitor feedback from households and remove retailers who do not meet expectations.
Matching properly takes a little longer than an instant quote. That is deliberate.
Three quotes that all suit your home, side by side. Take your time, ask the hard questions, and if none of them are right, walk away. There is no obligation at any point.
Free, with no obligation. We handle the matching.

South Australia, 2026
These are separate schemes, and they are designed to be claimed together. Here is how they build up for a South Australian home.
Up to $1,755
Small-scale Technology Certificates come straight off your quoted price. This is the figure for a typical 6.6kW system. A larger system earns more.
Running total: up to $1,755
Up to $2,500
The Cheaper Home Batteries program takes around 30% off the installed cost of an approved battery. About $2,500 on a typical 10kWh battery. The rate steps down again on 1 January 2027.
Running total: up to $4,255
Up to $2,050
South Australia closed its upfront home battery rebate in 2022. What is still on the table is a virtual power plant incentive through the state Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme, worth up to $2,050 when you join an approved VPP.
Requires joining a VPP
Running total: up to $6,305
Stacked together, up to
$6,305
On a solar and battery install in South Australia.
The battery rebates apply only if you install a battery. A solar only install claims the first layer. Virtual power plant incentives require you to join an approved VPP. Every amount moves with your system size, your battery size, your location and the current STC price. We confirm exactly what you qualify for with your 3 free quotes.
Don't Wait For The Next Drop
On 1 January 2027 the deeming period drops another year, cutting the solar panel rebate on a typical 6.6kW system by around $350. Lock in this year's rate while it lasts.
Counting down to 1 January 2027, when the federal STC rebate steps down again. Rebate amounts vary by system and location. We'll confirm yours with your 3 free quotes.
