About Solar Alliance
Solar Alliance connects Australian homeowners with accredited, vetted local solar installers — and arranges a free, no-obligation on-site assessment. We are not a solar installer, and we don't sell panels. We do the part most people find hardest: matching you with an installer you can trust, and getting real numbers for your specific roof.
We operate right across Australia — in every state and territory, and the service is completely free for homeowners. Here's exactly who we are, how it works, and how we make money.
What Solar Alliance is (and what it isn't)
Solar Alliance is a free service that connects Australian homeowners with accredited local solar installers and books a free on-site assessment. We are the introduction layer — not the installer.
- We are not an installer. The assessment, quote and any installation are carried out by a vetted local company in our network — not by us.
- We are independent. We're not owned by a single installer, so we can match you with the best-fit local company rather than pushing one brand.
- We're on your side of the table. Our job is to get you honest numbers and a no-pressure quote so you can make a clear decision.
How it works, step by step
- Tell us about your home (~60 seconds) — your state and roughly what you spend on power. No obligation, no cost.
- We match you with a vetted local installer — an accredited company that services your area and meets our standards.
- Free on-site assessment — the installer visits, measures your roof and usage, and gives you a clear written quote with real numbers.
- You decide — compare the numbers in your own time. There is never any pressure to go ahead.
The installers we work with
The installer matters more than the brand of panel, so every company in the Solar Alliance network has to meet a clear standard before we'll introduce them:
- SAA-accredited — accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia, the Clean Energy Regulator-appointed body that took over installer accreditation from the Clean Energy Council in 2024. This is what keeps your system eligible for the federal STC rebate.
- Signed up to the CEC Approved Solar Retailer code — the industry consumer-protection code of conduct.
- Licensed and insured — appropriate electrical licensing, public-liability and workmanship cover.
- Genuinely local — with real reviews from customers in your area, not just a national average.
- Clear written quotes — itemised, with the equipment specified, not a vague headline price.
What it costs you: nothing
Solar Alliance is free for homeowners. The assessment is free, the quote is free, and you're under no obligation to proceed.
We're paid by the installers in our network for connecting them with homeowners who are genuinely looking at solar — the same way a comparison or referral service works. That never changes your price: you deal directly with the installer, and any quote you get is the installer's own, with the federal rebate already applied.
Why we built Solar Alliance
Solar is one of the better home investments Australian homeowners can make, but the buying experience is full of hard-sell tactics, confusing rebate claims, and quotes that are impossible to compare. We built Solar Alliance to fix that — to give people honest information and a vetted local installer, without the pressure.
That's why our guides give the straight answer even when it's not the answer that sells: the rebate is real, but it's not "free solar", and a battery doesn't suit every home. See whether solar is worth it for your home, or get in touch at sales@solar-alliances.com.
