How to Choose a Trustworthy Solar Installer in Sydney

When it comes to installing solar panels, choosing the right installer is just as important as choosing the panels themselves. With so many solar companies advertising in Sydney, it can be overwhelming to know who to trust. Unfortunately, not all solar providers are created equal,  some cut corners, use subcontractors, or disappear when you need warranty support.

If you want your investment in solar energy to truly pay off, here’s what to look for when selecting a trustworthy solar installer in Sydney.

The first thing you should check is whether your installer is Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited. This ensures your system meets Australian standards for design and installation. Without CEC accreditation, you won’t be eligible for federal rebates such as Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which can reduce the upfront cost of your system by thousands.

Tip: Always ask your installer for their accreditation details and check them against the official CEC database.

MPV Solar is proud to have solar accreditations – learn more.

Solar isn’t just about the panels — it’s about the people installing and supporting them. Local, experienced installers understand Sydney’s climate, energy usage patterns, and rebate options better than interstate or fly-by-night companies.

At MPV Solar, we’ve been servicing Sydney homeowners since 1992. Over three decades of experience means we know which products stand the test of time and how to design systems that maximise performance for your property.

This is one of the biggest red flags in the solar industry. Many companies outsource their installations to subcontractors, which often results in rushed jobs, poor communication, and limited accountability.

When you choose MPV Solar, you’re choosing an in-house team of accredited installers and licensed electricians. No subcontractors, no shortcuts; just consistent, high-quality workmanship you can rely on.

A solar system is a 20+ year investment, so after-sales support is crucial. Some low-cost solar companies disappear after installation, leaving you stranded if an inverter fails or your panels need servicing.

A reliable installer should provide:

• Panel and inverter warranties (10–25 years, depending on product)

• Workmanship warranty covering the installation itself

• Ongoing support and servicing for the life of your system

At MPV Solar, we don’t forget about you after the job is done. Our customers enjoy ongoing support, servicing, and honest advice long after installation day.

It’s tempting to go with the lowest price, but remember; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Cheap solar often means:

• Inferior, unbranded panels

• Poor installation quality

• Minimal or non-existent after-sales service

Instead, focus on value: a well-designed system that balances cost, quality, and long-term savings. A good installer will walk you through your options, not just push a “one-size-fits-all” package.

A trustworthy installer should have a strong reputation backed by customer reviews and testimonials. Check online platforms like Google Reviews, or ask the company for references from past clients.
