▸How big a solar system do I need?
It depends mainly on how many units you use and your roof space. Share a recent electricity bill with installers so they can size the system for you.
▸On-grid or off-grid — which is right?
On-grid systems feed power to the grid and suit places with regular supply; off-grid or hybrid systems use batteries for backup during cuts. Describe your power situation and let installers recommend.
▸Do installers help with subsidy and net-metering paperwork?
Many rooftop installers help with the application process. Ask whether it is included in their quote.
