FAQ

Questions, answered

Still unsure? A Sunset advisor will walk your roof with you, free, and answer the rest.

Everything: panels, battery, inverter, installation, permits, monitoring, insurance and repairs. You pay one fixed monthly price for 20 years and nothing else.

Yes. We use tile hooks that sit under the kawara without drilling through it, and we replace any tile we lift. Slate and metal roofs are simpler still.

The battery takes over in milliseconds and keeps your essentials running: lights, fridge, router and outlets. Before a storm the app tops the battery up from the grid automatically.

Most homes cut their bill by 60–85%. Your roof check gives you a written estimate based on your sun hours, shading and the last twelve months of your bills.

The plan transfers to the buyer, and homes with solar and storage tend to sell faster. You can also buy the system out at any point after year five.

If you buy outright or take the loan, we file every subsidy you qualify for. On the Sunset Plan the subsidy is already built into your lower monthly price.

We do. We monitor every system remotely, and if something drops below its expected output a technician is booked before you notice.

About three weeks from signing to switch-on, most of it permits. The crew is on your roof for a single day.
