Thinking About Going Solar? Here’s What You Need to Know Before You Do

23 Jan

With energy prices on the rise and sustainability top of mind for many households, it’s no surprise that more Sunshine Coast homeowners are considering solar.

But with so much information (and misinformation) out there, it can be hard to know where to start — or who to trust.

At Creek to Coast Electrical, we’re now proud to offer solar services as part of our residential electrical work. After years of helping clients make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes, we’ve taken the next step — and we are solar trained to provide expert, honest advice to clients looking to go solar.

Here’s what we want you to know if you're thinking about making the switch.

Solar Is an Investment - Not Just an Install

Going solar isn’t just about slapping some panels on the roof. It’s about making a smart investment that works with your lifestyle, your energy usage, and your future plans.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. That’s why we take the time to:

Look at your home’s layout and orientation
Understand your current and projected power usage
Recommend a system size that suits you, not the sales quota
Walk you through battery options and rebates (without the pressure)

We Think Like Electricians First - Not Salespeople

One of the biggest complaints we hear from homeowners is feeling rushed or misled by solar sales teams.

Here’s the difference with us:

We’re electricians first.
That means:

Your safety is our priority
Your switchboard gets inspected properly
Your system gets installed cleanly, to code, and with care
We actually explain what we’re doing

Matt brings over two decades of hands-on residential electrical experience — and now he’s applying that to solar, so you get expertise from someone who sees the whole picture.

Small Changes, Big Impact

Even if you’re not ready to go full solar, we can help you plan ahead.

From pre-wiring for future solar installs during renovations, to advising on LED upgrades and smart switching, we’ll help you lower your bills and reduce your energy footprint, one smart choice at a time.

We’ll guide you through the process, minus the sales pitch.
