Frequently Asked Questions

When you decide to install a solar system on your house each panel generates what’s known as a “small trading certificate” or better known as STC. These certificates can be traded for money once the necessary evidence has been gathered by our installers on site. We take the responsibility of claiming these STCs so you don’t have to worry about the hassle and just pay one small upfront fee for the installation of your system.

We offer finance through a third-party partner called Brighte. They are industry leaders in providing interest-free loans up to $30k for the installation of solar systems. To see if you qualify for this type of finance, book a consultation with us and we’ll assess your eligibility prior to your consultation. Repayment periods can vary between 6 & 60 months. You should also refer to the T&C’s on Brighte’s website for more information.

Cuthill Electrical Contractors have been operating since early 2017. Our team of 5 Electricians and Engineers combined have over 35 years of industry experience across all aspects of electrical and renewable energy. In this small time frame, we have built the trust of many homeowners and contracted to builders on high end residential and commercial projects across Sydney. Our aim is to educate our customers, provide articulate advice and deliver the best solar services possible.

Solar works by harnessing the UV light emitted by the sun. The panels generate what’s known as DC power, similar to your car battery. It is then converted to AC power via the inverter. AC power is the form of electricity used on our grid which powers our nation. This power is then used in your home with the excess generation being sold back to the grid at a price at which you and your retailer will come to an agreement.

Solar power saves you, the homeowners hard-earned money because you generate your own electricity! Therefore, the energy distributor cannot charge you for the electricity being used. Solar can further save you money if you offset your excess generation to their network. You can arrange a deal with your energy provider who will buy your excess energy off you at a rate of kilowatt/hour.

The installation process with Cuthill electrical contractors is one of the most delightfully efficient series of events in which you will ever experience in your life.  We will start by assessing your property and gathering the necessary information needed to generate a final quote.

While you wait for the big day to arrive, we are busy ordering the right material for the job, getting your application with the network distributor ready and finally ordering your new smart solar meter!

Our friendly and competent team will arise to your home and treat it like it’s their own and complete the work to the highest degree of quality. Once done we will walk you through and educate our customers on how to safely operate their system as well as other key fundamental operations.
