Postcode in. Up to 3 vetted installers out. Nothing in between.

Solar Select isn't a directory. Every enquiry is routed to a maximum of three vetted installers in your area, and the same address never re-enters the pool above that cap — even if you resubmit later. Here is exactly how the match works.

The five steps

Step 1: Enter your postcode

Tells us which installers actively service your area, what STC zone you’re in, and which state rebates apply.

  • No account required — just a postcode and a few details about the system you want
  • Free for homeowners — installers pay per validly routed enquiry, you pay nothing
  • Takes under 60 seconds for most homeowners

Step 2: We match against vetted installers

Your enquiry is checked against our installer network — service area, brand accreditation if you’ve flagged one, and quality history.

  • Brand interest (Sigenergy, Tesla, Fronius, etc.) prioritises accredited installers for that brand first
  • Every installer is vetted — typically 2+ years in business with a track record of decent reviews
  • No installer sees your details until they’ve passed the vetting check

Step 3: Up to 3 vetted installers, exclusively

Your enquiry is routed to a maximum of 3 installers. The same address never re-enters the pool above that cap.

  • Maximum 3, ever — no race-to-the-bottom auctions, no follow-up spam from installer 4
  • If only 1 or 2 quality installers serve your postcode, we route to just those — not topped up with weaker matches
  • If a lead is genuinely uncontactable or unsuitable, the installer is refunded — they get the budget back, not another shot at your inbox

Step 4: Installers contact you — typically within 24–48 hours

Each matched installer reaches out directly to discuss your system, run their own site checks, and provide a quote.

  • Matched installers typically make first contact within 24–48 hours, then book a site check before quoting
  • You compare up to 3 quotes side-by-side from installers who know your area and brand of interest
  • Quotes are obligation-free — compare, ask questions, walk away if nothing fits

Step 5: You pick. They install. You stay matched.

You choose the installer that fits your home, budget, and warranty preference. Rebates are applied by the installer at point of sale.

  • Federal STCs and Cheaper Home Batteries rebate are applied as an upfront discount by your installer
  • Eligible state programs (NSW VPP incentive, WA Battery Scheme, ACT loan) stack on top
  • If something’s wrong after install, tell us — installer quality history is tracked, and bad actors get removed

The structural rule: maximum 3 installers, ever

Most lead directories sell each enquiry to 5, 10 or 15+ installers. The auction looks like more options for the homeowner, but it rewards the cheapest installer with the most aggressive follow-up, and quality installers cannot compete on those economics. Capping at three lets installers compete on design, warranty and service instead of price.
