When you’re thinking about installing a solar system, one of the first questions you usually ask is, “Who’s a good installer in my area?” Followed closely by “How much do I expect to pay?” and “Are there any local rules I should know?”
To help answer these questions, SolarQuotes has set up on-site sites with locations across Australia. Each page brings together reviews from active SolarQuotes-verified installers, average installation prices, network information, and other useful details in one place.
Here’s a quick overview of how to find plumbers in your suburb and what you’ll discover on these pages when you’re there.
What’s on your Suburb page?
Visit our local pages to find information about plumbers specific to your zip code.
The first thing you’ll notice is that this isn’t just an installation directory. It also contains much of the information you’ll likely need before requesting quotes.
Find an installer. The page begins with SolarQuotes installers servicing the suburb. You can click through to read each installer’s reviews, or if you’ve found a few you like, simply tick their name and click “Request quotes from my selected installers.” This is an easy way to narrow down your shortlist without having to switch between multiple pages.
Average prices. Next, find the average price recently paid for solar systems in your zip code, as well as the number of systems already installed locally. These numbers are based on real systems purchased through SolarQuotes and provide you with a useful benchmark for evaluating prices. This can help you identify offers that seem unusually cheap or expensive.
Payback estimates. The page also estimates the payback of solar and battery power for your suburb and explains some of the factors that influence these figures, including local electricity prices, feed-in tariffs, average hours of sunshine and typical household electricity consumption. Although every home is different, these estimates provide a useful indication of how the economic situation is developing in your area.
Local information. Below you may find specific information about your suburb, e.g. B. Heritage considerations, followed by details of your local electricity network and any relevant connection requirements. These are details that are easy to overlook until they impact your installation.
Latest reviews. At the bottom of the page you will find current reviews from SolarQuotes customers in your zip code region. This gives you another opportunity to see what local homeowners have to say about their installation experiences. Sometimes the most useful insights come from people who have recently gone through the process themselves.

How do I find the new Suburb pages?
There are several ways to get there.
The quickest way is to go directly to: https://www.solarquotes.com.au/installers/
If you are already browsing SolarQuotes, you can also find it in the main menu below Extras > Solar at your location.
Or simply type “installers” in the search bar at the top of any SolarQuotes page. “Find Plumbers Near Me” should appear at the top of the results.
Once you’re in the installer hub, the easiest way is to enter your suburb into the “Find solar installers serving your suburb” search box.
Alternatively, you can browse recommended installers by state.
To navigate to the Find Solar Installers page, either 1) enter the URL, 2) search for “Installers,” or 3) use the “Tools” menu. Once you’re there, either 4) search for your suburb/city or 5) browse the best plumbers in your state (mobile view).
More than just suburban sites
While most visitors go straight to their suburb page, it’s worth returning to the Find an Installer page and exploring what else is there.
You’ll find information about the cost of installing solar systems, as well as advice on how to avoid the less reputable operators in the solar industry. Whether you want to find out what solar energy should realistically cost or how to spot a defect before signing a contract, it’s worth reading both before requesting quotes.
A good start
Buying solar energy doesn’t have to start with calling installers or filling out quote forms.
A few minutes spent on your onsite site can answer a surprising number of questions before you’ve even requested your first quote.
If you’re considering solar energy, start with the Find Installer page and search for your location.
