How Our Free Broker Service Works

We do the hard work of comparing installers and negotiating on your behalf — at absolutely no cost to you.

01

You Tell Us Your Needs

Share your preferences — preferred brands, budget, whether you want single-circuit or whole-home battery backup, your roof type, and anything else that matters to you.

02

We Match You With Partners

We contact our network of vetted, CEC-accredited installers and obtain quotes tailored to exactly what you've told us. No guesswork, no generic proposals.

03

You Choose & We Hand Over

We present your options clearly and help you decide. Once you're happy, you sign directly with your chosen installer. They pay us from their marketing budget — your quote stays exactly as quoted.

Why Doesn't It Cost You Anything?

Every solar company already has a marketing budget — they spend it on ads, salespeople, and lead generation. When you come through SwanComm, we replace that cost. The installer pays us from their existing marketing budget, not by inflating your quote. You get the same system, the same quality, the same price — with an independent expert in your corner the whole time.

Why Go Through a Broker?

The solar market is crowded and confusing. A broker cuts through the noise and advocates for you.

✦ Using SwanComm as Your Broker

One conversation — we gather your needs once and do all the legwork

Access to multiple vetted installers, not just one company's products

Expert guidance on brands, battery types, backup levels, and rebates

We only work with quality installers — no cowboys, no corner-cutting

Completely free — our fee is paid by the installer, never by you

Ongoing support — if something goes wrong post-install, we're in your corner

Going Direct to an Installer

You must research, contact, and compare multiple companies yourself

Each company only offers their own products and brands

Easy to be oversold on capacity or features you don't actually need

No independent quality vetting — you're relying on reviews alone

Time-consuming and stressful to manage multiple quotes and follow-ups

No independent advocate if issues arise during or after installation

Every Customer Is Different.
We Listen.

We take time to understand your situation before recommending anything. Here are some of the things that shape the right solution for you.

🏷️

Your Budget

Whether you have a strict limit or want to know the best bang for your buck, we'll find options that fit — without compromising on safety or quality.

Preferred Brands

Have your heart set on SunPower, Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, or another brand? We can source it. Or we'll recommend what's genuinely best for your situation.

🏡

System Size

From a modest 6.6kW starter system to large 20kW+ setups for big homes or businesses — we size it right for your actual consumption.

🔌

Battery Backup Level

Single-circuit backup keeps your lights and fridge on during outages. Whole-home backup powers everything. We'll explain the difference and cost clearly.

🏆

Quality vs Value

Some customers want the absolute best — top-tier panels, extended warranties, premium inverters. Others want solid, reliable, and affordable. We cater to both.

📋

Rebate Maximisation

We know which systems qualify for the most generous state and federal incentives, and make sure you claim every dollar you're entitled to before May 2026 changes.

SwanComm Brokers Receive a referral fee from the installer — not from you

Complete honesty about how this works

Solar installation companies — like most businesses — have a marketing budget. They spend it on Google ads, door-knocking sales teams, and lead generation services. When you come through SwanComm, we simply replace that spend. The installer pays us a referral fee from their existing marketing budget.

This means your quote is not inflated to cover our fee. The cost was already built into how these companies find customers — we just make that process work better for you.

Once you've chosen an installer and the work begins, your contract is directly with that licensed installer. They are fully responsible for the quality, safety, and warranty of the installation. SwanComm's role is matching and introduction — we are not a party to the installation contract and do not carry liability for the work performed.

  • We never charge you a fee — before, during, or after
  • Our fee comes from the installer's existing marketing budget — not your pocket
  • We only partner with CEC-accredited, vetted installers
  • Your installation contract is directly with the installer — they hold full responsibility
  • If we can't find a suitable partner for you, we'll tell you honestly

We Work With the Best.
So You Get the Best.

Our partner installers are carefully selected and regularly reviewed. We only work with companies that consistently deliver high-quality installations and excellent customer service.

CEC Accredited

Every partner holds Clean Energy Council accreditation — mandatory for rebate eligibility

🛡️

Fully Licensed

All electrical and solar installation work is performed by licensed tradespeople

🏅

Proven Track Record

We check reviews, complaints history, and workmanship standards before onboarding

📞

After-Sales Support

Partners must offer responsive aftercare — not disappear once the job is done

📦

Tier-1 Products

We only allow partners to supply recognised Tier-1 solar panels and batteries

Quality Guaranteed

Minimum 5-year workmanship warranty required from all partner companies

Our quality promise to you: If a partner installer doesn't meet our standards, we remove them from our network. We review partner performance regularly and take customer feedback seriously. Once your installation is complete, your warranty and workmanship responsibilities rest with the installing company — but we make sure we only ever send you to someone worth trusting in the first place.

Questions About Using a Broker

Is the broker service really free? How?

Yes — completely free to you. Every solar company already has a marketing budget; they spend it on Google ads, door-knockers, and lead generation. When you come through SwanComm, we replace that spend. The installer pays us from their existing marketing budget — not by adding anything to your quote. You're not paying us. They just found you through us instead of a billboard.

Does going through a broker mean I pay more?

No. Solar companies budget for marketing regardless — if they didn't find you through SwanComm, they'd have spent that money on ads or a sales team instead. We simply replace that cost. Your quote reflects the actual cost of the system and installation, not a broker surcharge.

Can I specify a preferred brand or type of system?

Absolutely — that's the whole point of using a broker. Tell us you want a Tesla Powerwall, a specific solar panel brand, or a particular inverter type, and we'll match you with a partner who can supply and install it. If you're not sure what you want, we'll explain the options and help you decide based on your budget and goals.

What's the difference between single-circuit and whole-home battery backup?

Single-circuit backup means a small number of circuits in your home (e.g. lights, fridge, and a few power points) stay on during a blackout, powered by your battery. Whole-home backup means your battery can power everything in the house during an outage. Whole-home backup requires a larger battery and different switchboard setup, so it costs more — but gives complete peace of mind. We'll walk you through the trade-offs and quote both options if you'd like.

How do I know the installers you use are good?

We vet every partner before adding them to our network, and we review them regularly. All must be CEC accredited, fully licensed, and have a demonstrated track record of quality work and good aftercare. We check reviews, complaints history, and workmanship standards. If a partner doesn't maintain our standards, we remove them. Our reputation depends on their performance.

What changes on 1 May 2026 with rebates?

The federal STC deeming period reduces by one year on 1 May 2026, meaning the upfront rebate discount drops automatically. For a typical 6.6kW system, this could mean $200–$500 less in rebate value. Your contract date — not your installation date — determines your rebate calculation, so enquiring now locks in today's higher value.

What if I'm not happy with the installer you recommend?

You're never locked in — we present options and you choose freely. It's important to understand that once you select an installer and sign with them, your contract is directly between you and that company. SwanComm is a matching and referral service, not a party to the installation contract, and we don't carry liability for the work performed. That said, we only work with vetted, licensed installers, and if you have an issue we're happy to help facilitate communication with them on your behalf.
