The Solar Journey

Why Solar?

Investing in a residential solar energy system is an investment in both the planet and your pocket.

There are several reasons why solar system on your residence could be beneficial, including:

  • Reducing your carbon footprint
  • Immediate and long-term energy savings
  • Eliminate or drastically reduce electricity bills
  • Access to financial incentives to subsidise the cost of build (through Small-scale Technology Certificates, or STCs)
  • Access to build cost finance options
  • Extremely generous feed-in tariffs for residential systems
  • Secure 20–30 year return on investment
  • Increase your property value
  • Mitigate future increases in electricity cost

When it comes to residential solar installations, household owners are presented with a bewildering range of options and information.

We provide services that value quality engineering and components, and aim to offer our services at a price point that is competitive for a long-lasting quality system with full local maintenance support, should you require it.

Potential Traps to Watch

Interstate or inexperienced operators unfamiliar with the Territory may supply or endorse solar systems that are not designed to withstand NT weather conditions. Having locally-based technicians to service your installation, should anything go wrong, can be particularly important following storms or cyclones. As such, we strongly recommend local suppliers and CEC-certified operators to install a quality system that is correctly engineered for NT conditions.

Our Quality Assurance

We offer a 5-year workmanship guarantee on any system designed and implemented by Great Power Solutions. Whilst individual manufacturer guarantees vary, we only use quality and well-regarded suppliers. Generally, this translates to a 20- to 25-year guarantee for solar system components.

We are completely impartial in our recommendations, and prioritise your system needs. We will gladly change supplier firms to customise your system to suit your requirements. We aim to maximise savings on your power bill and reduce potential payback times for your solar system, allowing you to reduce your carbon footprint while minimising costs.

Our Service

The NT has one of the lowest uptakes of solar power in Australia. This was partly due to political ambivalence, lower power costs in the past making people unwilling to change and lack of reliable information available to consumers to make well-considered purchase decisions. With the arrival of Great Power Solutions free consultation and comparison service among our approved suppliers we take a lot of the worry away from you, still provide you with freedom of choice and are happy to back our team of reputable experienced local and certified installers and suppliers against anyone!
