How to Choose a Good Solar Installer in Darwin
Verify the licence
Check the NT licensing register before hiring. Unlicensed solar installers cannot legally do this work — and your insurance may not cover unlicensed work.
Get a written quote
Always get a written quote that separates labour and materials. An itemised quote lets you compare properly and prevents scope creep.
Read real reviews
Look for solar installers with recent reviews (last 6 months) from Darwin or nearby suburbs. Generic or suspiciously positive reviews without detail are a red flag.
Confirm insurance
Ask for proof of public liability insurance (minimum $5 million) before any work starts. Licensed solar installers always carry insurance.
