Going solar is one of the smartest moves a homeowner can make, but like any big decision, it pays to get it right from the start. At Limitless Energy, we’ve seen the difference a well-planned system can make. We’ve also seen the headaches that come from poor advice and rushed decisions.

Here are 3 mistakes to avoid when getting solar Installed and how to avoid them.

1. Skipping a proper roof assessment

It might sound obvious, but not every roof is ready for solar. We’ve spoken to homeowners who rushed into installation only to realise their roof needed repairs or reinforcement later, costing them extra time and money.

What to do instead:
Make sure your installer does a full roof inspection before installation. At Limitless, we assess your roof’s angle, material, and structural integrity to ensure it’s solar-ready, no surprises later.

2. Choosing the biggest system

Bigger doesn’t always mean better. Overspending on a system that’s too large for your needs won’t deliver a great return and can stretch your budget unnecessarily.

What to do instead:
Work with a team that looks at your actual energy usage and designs a system tailored to your needs. We consider future plans too, like EV charging, battery storage or a growing household, to make sure you’ve got room to grow, without overcommitting now.

3. Not understanding rebates and incentives

There are generous government rebates available, but many homeowners either don’t take full advantage, or are misled by companies offering inflated “discounts” that aren’t real savings.

What to do instead:
Speak to a reputable team that will walk you through what you’re eligible for (and what you’re not). We’ll help you access legitimate incentives and ensure you understand the long-term savings solar can provide, without the fine print.
