A solar and battery system is a major home investment. Before you commit, make sure the quote, system size, products and all assumptions are right for your home.
Clear Current Consulting provides independent residential solar and battery reviews for homeowners who want expert advice before signing with a provider.
Confused by Conflicting Solar Quotes?
Homeowners are often comparing solar and battery quotes that look very different.
One installer may recommend a larger system. Another may recommend a different battery. Payback calculations can vary. Warranty details may be unclear. Future needs such as EV charging, electrification, backup demands or changing household usage may not be fully considered.
It can be hard to know whether you are making the right decision.
Installers are incentivized to sell you hardware. As an independent, SAA Accredited Designer, we don't accept commissions from any installer.
Our mission is to give you un-biased engineering and financial validation so you can invest with absolute peace of mind.
What We Analyse in Your Review
When you upload your solar quotes, we don't just glance at the bottom-line price. We perform a rigorous, data-driven engineering audit to ensure your investment is completely optimised for your home.
Our independent review meticulously evaluates solar system size and battery sizing and suitability to guarantee you aren't paying for extra capacity you won’t use—or getting left short on cloudy days. We map out all hidden quote inclusions and exclusions, diving deep into critical product and brand considerations and verifying the historical track record and installer suitability of the companies pitching to you.
Beyond the paperwork, we can assess structural, roof, shading, and site-specific risks using advanced engineering software, alongside a thorough check of all warranty considerations so you aren't left stranded if a component fails. Crucially, we look at the bigger picture: balancing your current electricity usage and future energy needs with upcoming EV charging and smart home considerations. Finally, we strip away aggressive sales pitches to present the hard numbers, verifying all financial assumptions and return on investment metrics using objective, real-world data models.
