About Us
Definitions of Terms used in FAQs
Is my roof suitable for solar panel installation? [TOP]
Installation requires a structurally sound roof, and the installation cost can be impacted by a number of factors such as:
- Other Considerations for Tin: The number of battens or purlins will affect how many rows of panels can be installed on each section of roof
- on one continuous roof area (excluding a 10% margin on all sides);
- facing in the same orientation;
- on the same pitch angle
Falling outside these conditions simply means there may be some Extra Charges that apply to You or that you may require more technologically advanced equipment. See Standard Inclusions and Exclusions for more information and additional requirements that may be relevant to You.
How big are Solar Panels? [TOP]
Solar PV panels come in a variety of sizes depending on the manufacturer and model. Please see the data sheet provided in the Auction for the dimensions of the panels you are buying.
As an example, CETC monocrystalline 190 Watt and 195 Watt PV solar panels are 1580mm X 808mm each, therefore they require a rectangular roof area of the following size. There must be a 20mm space between adjacent panels.
How much money can I save with solar power? [TOP]
It is important to understand that the Systems offered these Auctions cannot store power eg. they are not Off-Grid Systems and they cannot be used during the night or blackouts. Any electricity that you don’t use during daylight hours will flow out to the grid for other users. Depending on which State you live in, You will be offered different rates for the electricity that Your System produces for the grid (called feed-in tariffs). Please contact your electricity provider to find out if a Feed-In Tariff is available to you. You will not necessarily be paid for electricity you provide the grid at the same rate you currently buy it at.
How much money you can save depends on a lot of factors
You are required to install a meter for your System. The meter is provided by your electricity distributer. The distributer may require you to upgrade existing meters and switches to comply with current rules and regulations. This may include upgrading analogue meters to digital meters, which will change the tariffs (rates) you are charged for electricity that you consume. Please contact your retailer to find out if your electricity prices will change as a result of installing Solar Power.
The output of a solar PV system depends on its size. The table below from CEC shows the average dailyproduction of some common grid-connected systems throughout Australia.
Data Source: PV---GC spread sheet based on the CEC GC Design GuidelinesThe rated output is that achieved in perfect laboratory conditions. The CEC design summary software takes these ratings into account when predicting average for any given system.
http://www.cleanenergycouncil.org.au/resourcecentre/Consumer-Info/solarPV-guide.html
A typical Australian house consumes around 18 kilowatt hours (kWh) per day so a 1-2kW system displaces an average of 25-40% of your average electricity bill. Solar panels produce more energy in summer than they do in winter.
If I purchase a System on GraysOnline what is the total amount I will pay? [TOP]
GraysOnline will render an invoice to You if You are the successful bidder. The total amount You will be required to pay will be:
These amounts apply to all purchases and are referred to as the Grays Amount. Extra Charges may apply if You take up the Bonus Installation Offer and have Non-Standard Requirements.
What are the Q2 Solar Costs? [TOP]
The Q2 Solar Costs for the winning bidder are calculated using the post code of your Registered Address on GraysOnline. The fee may change if you change the delivery or Installation postcode. You can use the Calculator to estimate Your Q2 Solar Costs. Some examples of what the Q2 Solar Costs include:
Because the Q2 Solar Costs apply to the Auction and delivery related costs not Installation costs they are payable whether or not you accept the Bonus Installation Offer.
Can I pick up the System to save on the Q2 Solar Costs? [TOP]
Pick up is not available as solar products are bulky and fragile and System Components are in many cases supplied by different Australian and international suppliers and vendors.
What is the Bonus Installation Offer? [TOP]
Eligible Buyers can take up the following Bonus Installation Offer, which means that for no additional charge (after paying the Grays Amount) the Buyer will receive:
See What is included in the Standard Items and Standard installation? for more information. If You have Non-Standard Requirements (see below) You can still receive the Bonus Installation Offer, and the Standard Items and Standard Installation will be provided at no additional charge, however Extra Charges will apply for Non-Standard Requirements.
See What is included in the Standard Items and Standard installation? for more information.
If You have Non-Standard Requirements (see below) You can still receive the Bonus Installation Offer, and the Standard Items and Standard Installation will be provided at no additional charge, however Extra Charges will apply for Non-Standard Requirements.
How do I know if I am Eligible for the Bonus Installation Offer? [TOP]
You must meet the following important requirements in order to be eligible for the Bonus Installation Offer. You should check whether you meet these requirements before bidding.
- The owner of the Installation Site must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 years or over.
- A solar PV system must not have previously been installed on the property.
The Bonus Installation Offer is only available for use with the System purchased in this Auction and for Installation of that System by an Installer who a member of the Q2 Solar National Referral Network of Licensed Installers, as referred to You by Q2 Solar.
Why do I assign the STCs to Q2 Solar? [TOP]
At no additional charge (no charge above the Grays Amount) You can receive the Standard Items including the the Professional Design Service and other Q2 Solar Services as described in these FAQs and the Terms. At no additional charge, Q2 Solar will also pay for a Standard Installation to be performed by the Licensed Installer. These benefits are provided to You at no additional charge in exchange for assignment of the relevant STCs that arising from System Installation to Q2 Solar. You receive an upfront discount on these Services equal to the STC Value in return for committing to assign the STCs to Q2 Solar. At the time of purchase the STC Value covers the costs of these item and services.
STCs are government issued solar credits known as Small-scale Technology Certificates (defined in the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000). The government offers STCs as a financial incentive for purchasing and installing an eligible solar panel system. STCs were previously called renewable energy certificates (RECs) and can be assigned to a registered agent for an upfront discount or rebate; in this case STCs are to be assigned to Q2 Solar in exchange for the Bonus Installation Offer. You may be entitled to receive STCs as a result of the Installation of the System however no warranties or guarantees are made by Q2 Solar or anyone else that You will receive STCs or as to the value of the STCs.
What do I pay if I want to keep the STCs or am not eligible for STCs? [TOP]
If you don’t assign the STCs to Q2 Solar, or are not eligible to receive STCs but take up any part of the Bonus Installation Offer (the Standard Items or the Standard Installation by the Licensed Installer) You will be required to pay for the relevant items and services.
The total amount payable for these items and services is called the STC Value and is the value of the STCs that Your System would be eligible for if You met the Eligibility requirements. This amount is calculated at the date of Completion as it may vary depending on the market price of the STCs and the federal government multiplier that applies to the STCs.
If you don’t take the Bonus Installation Offer and don’t assign Your STCs to Q2 Solar, the System will be delivered to You for the Grays Amount. See “Can I take delivery of the System without accepting the Bonus Installation Offer?” for more information about what you will and won’t be entitled to receive.
What if the STC Value changes? [TOP]
If the market rate at which Q2 Solar trades STCs drops between the date of purchase and the date You provide the executed Assignment Form to the Licensed Installer, You will still receive the Standard Items and Standard Installation at no additional charge provided that the drop does not exceed 10%.
If the drop is more than 10% (between the date of purchase and the date You provide the executed Assignment Form to the Licensed Installer) Q2 Solar reserves the right to charge You an Extra Charge in respect of the variance.
If the Federal government determined multiplier that applies to the STCs at the time of assignment is less than 2x, You will still receive a discount equal to the STC Value at the date of assignment, based on the applicable multiplier, however an Extra Charge will apply to reflect the reduced value of the STC assignment to Q2 Solar.
Can I take delivery of the System without accepting the Bonus Installation Offer? [TOP]
Yes, you can have the System delivered to You without accepting the Bonus Installation Offer but You will only receive the System you have purchased (such as PV panels and the Inverter) as specified in the Auction. These are not a complete System. You will also not receive the Professional Design Service or other design assistance and will need to pay for and organise your own installation, lodge the relevant applications for grid connection, etc. yourself and You will need to purchase any additional items you require (such as mounting kits) to complete your Installation.
What do I pay the Licensed Installer? [TOP]

If Non-Standard Requirements are identified during the Installation by the Licensed Installer, the Installer will discuss with you any Extra Charges and may invoice and accept payment from you directly. Q2 Solar will not invoice you for any Non-Standard Requirements that are discovered once the Installation has begun.

I am pleased to provide testimonial about my recent solar installation as it was a very positive experience.
Q2 Solar exceeded my expectations and provided me with a solar grid-connect system that will reduce my electricity bills by more than 50%.
There was plenty of consultation throughout the design phase to ensure that my specific needs were being met and once this was signed off, the installation was completed within a few weeks.
Tradespersons arrived on the nominated morning and carried out their work in a highly efficient manner. Overall, the installation was hassle free and the grid connection was organised early the following week.
Q2 Solar provided me with a courteous and personalised service and management followed up soon after the installation to check that I was completely satisfied.
Would I recommend Q2 Solar to my friends? Yes, without hesitation!

Even though purchasing my 3.0kW system was something of an 'impulse buy' for me, I found Q2 Solar very helpful in explaining exactly what I had purchased, what would be supplied and when it would all be installed. They were extremely professional with their communications and the installation was a top-quality job done with a minimum of fuss. I would highly recommend their service to anybody thinking of getting solar installed.

Initially I had my reservations dealing with an eastern states company, however I was pleasantly surprised as to how easy Q2 solar made the whole experience. Q2 always kept me informed as to what was happening from the very beginning to the end. I am very happy with the end result, and looking forward to saving some money on our future electricity bills. Thanks again Q2

I would just like to thank everyone at Q2 Solar for the good work done during the installation of our solar system. We found the service of the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We have only been in our new home for a short time and are yet to experience the full capability of our 5.2kw system provided by Q2 Solar but are eagerly awaiting our first electricity bill to see the savings.
Thanks

Well, we now have a solar power system on our roof!
It has taken a while but you have persevered and got the installation completed. I appreciate the service you have given on the last purchase and the timely manner you organised the installation. The work was carried out in a very efficient manner and it is a very neat and tidy installation, I have seen other arrays that really stand out but even with such a large number of panels it seems to blend in with the roof.
Once again thank you for your support.
