Introduction of the Battery Booster Program: Kempy, the CEO of Queensland Solar and Lighting, discusses the excitement around Queensland's Battery Booster Program, a new initiative by the Queensland government offering rebates for solar battery installations. This program includes a range of batteries, from high-end options like the Tesla Powerwall to more affordable choices.Safety and Effectiveness Concerns: Despite the enthusiasm, Kempy raises concerns about the safety and effectiveness of some cheaper battery options included in the program. He emphasizes the importance of choosing quality products over merely affordable ones to ensure safety and reliability.Eligibility and Rebate Details: Paul Martin, the Director General of the Department of Energy and Climate, outlines the program's eligibility criteria, offering rebates of up to $4,000 for the installation of approved solar batteries. The program aims to support renewable energy adoption and reduce household energy bills.Critical View on "Approved" Batteries and Installers: The transcript expresses skepticism towards the term "approved" used by the program, suggesting that not all approved batteries or installers guarantee quality or safety. Kempy advises homeowners to conduct thorough research before making a decision.Inspection and Compliance: The government commits to inspecting all systems installed under the program to ensure they comply with relevant standards, aiming to prioritize safety and effectiveness. The initiative is seen as a positive step towards supporting renewable energy, but the transcript calls for cautious participation, emphasizing the importance of informed choices and quality investments.Support the showBest Solar Panel Installer in Brisbane - Queensland Solar & Lighting - Since 2012

https://queenslandsolarandlighting.com/Axitec Solar Panels ReviewWe have been selling Axitec Solar Panels since Q3 2021. Customers who purchase the Axitec Solar Panels in the solar system package have commented how ‘Premium' they look – Whatever that means, but if it makes the customer happy, we'll take it!Axitec makes customers say that they ‘look like a premium solar panel' because they are all black-framed. Customers absolutely froth on the whole ‘black-frame' thing. If you are installing Silver framed solar panels on a home in 2022, it just doesn't look ‘Premium' apparently. I don't know. This industry moves so quickly that I am embarrassed to admit that I do learn quite a bit of it from our over-enthusiastic customers, but how good is that!
