The short version: this site helps you request a free solar site assessment for a Newcastle, Lake Macquarie or Hunter home. Here's what that does and doesn't mean.
Foreshore Solar's website is quote-only. Nothing on it is a binding offer, a contract, or a guarantee of price, system size or energy output. Any kW figure or panel count you see, including anything the Roof Check tool gives you, is an indicative starting point only, confirmed (or changed) once someone has actually stood on your roof.
The Roof Check on the home page is a quick, illustrative estimate based on the suburb, roof direction, household power use and bill band you select. It doesn't measure your actual roof, doesn't know your shading, and isn't a substitute for a site assessment. Its only job is to give you a rough starting point and pre-fill the enquiry form so a local installer has useful context before they call. If your browser has JavaScript off, it simply points you to the enquiry form instead.
A couple of pages carry small interactive diagrams. They're built from real physics, but they illustrate a principle, not your specific address:
To be straight with you: the photographs and scenes on this site are generated (AI-made) rather than photos of specific jobs, homes or people. They're there to set the scene honestly, not to represent a particular property or a real customer. The diagrams described above are the exception, they're drawn from real data.
Submitting the enquiry form is a request, not a booking confirmation. It means we (or a local solar installer we connect you with) will get in touch to arrange the actual visit. There's no fee for the assessment itself, and nothing about submitting the form obliges you to go ahead with any work.
Any mention of federal or state rebates, incentives or CEC-accredited installers is general information, not a quote or a guarantee of eligibility. Rebate schemes and amounts change; the specifics that apply to your home are confirmed at assessment time, by the installer doing the work.
We've written the guides, suburb pages and field notes on this site to be accurate and genuinely useful, and we cite sources where we're drawing on outside data (Bureau of Meteorology, Ausgrid, the Clean Energy Regulator and similar). They're general information for a Hunter homeowner thinking about solar, not personalised technical or financial advice for your specific property, that's what the site assessment is for.
We may update these terms as the site and the business develop. The version here is the one that applies.
