Solar Panel Rebates and Incentives in Perth

If you’re thinking about solar, there is good news. In Western Australia, eligible homeowners can access the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). This federal initiative gives you an upfront discount on the cost of your solar system, applied directly through your installer. The size of the rebate depends on the system size and your location, but for many Perth homes, it can reduce the cost by several thousand dollars.

At Forefront Electrical, we take care of the rebate process for you. We make sure your system is eligible, handle the paperwork, and pass the savings on as a discount off your total price — no hassle, no surprises.

Perth Solar Panels - FAQ

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels capture sunlight and turn it into electricity that your home can use. Any extra energy you do not use goes back into the grid or into a battery if you have one. This helps reduce your power bills and your reliance on the grid.

How long do solar panels last?

Most quality solar panels last 25 years or more. Over time, they may lose a bit of efficiency, but a well-installed system will continue to generate power for decades. That is why it is important to invest in a proper setup from the start. Depending on how many panels you have installed, you could also consider installing more than 1 battery to ensure it's capturing what you need for your lifestyle.

Will solar panels still work on cloudy days?

Yes. Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, just not as much as in full sun. In Perth, we get plenty of sunshine year-round, so you will still benefit even during winter.

How much maintenance do solar panels need?

Very little. A basic clean every year or so helps keep them running efficiently. We can also check your system if anything looks off or you notice a change in performance. The first step is booking in a free quote so that we can get you prepared for when the scheme opens.

Is a battery required with solar panels?

No, but it helps. A battery stores the power your panels make during the day so you can use it at night. It is not essential, but it gives you more control and better savings in the long run.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I recently had Forefront ELECTRICAL install our solar panels and inverter and we couldn't be happier. We were super impressed by the quality of the system and how nice it looked. It had clean lines and looked very sophisticated. We can't praise Jarren enough. He did a fantastic job with the install...he's meticulous in his workmanship, so knowledgeable and very thorough when it came to walking us through how the system worked. If you're looking for a friendly, honest and reliable fella to install anything electrical make sure you reach out to Jarren at Forefront ELECTRICAL. - Sarah Herbert

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been worried about solar because the sector is so pushy I felt I couldn’t trust anyone. Forefront were awesome. Transparent, open, not pushy and answered all my questions. As soon as I said let’s do it, they made a time that suited and showed up exactly on time. Incredible. Easy, friendly and a perfect quality product. I could not be happier. Thank you so much.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Forefront Electrical to install fire alarms, down lights, new PowerPoints and a few other jobs. Their work was very tidy and they were very flexible with timing the jobs around my shift work. They have also been able to locate and resolve faults with my off grid solar/generator set up. Would recommend Forefront to anyone wanting a genuinely good electrician.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need quality electrical work at competitive rates then look no further.  I had them upgrade my home  solar panels setup and some other general electrical work in my outdoor area.  They only use quality products and do the job right the first time. Turned up on time to not only quote the job, but also do the job.  Friendly, trustworthy, helpful and won’t rip you off. I would highly recommend these guys.
