Find an Installer
We can refer you to one matched, CEC-accredited off-grid installer in your area. This page explains exactly how that works — including how we get paid — before you hand over any details.
How it works
- You fill in the form below with the basics of your project (location, system type, timeline).
- We forward your details to one CEC-accredited installer who covers your area and does the kind of system you're planning. We do not blast your details to a panel of installers, and we do not run an auction for your job.
- That installer contacts you directly to discuss the job and quote it. From that point on, the relationship is between you and the installer — pricing, scope, warranties and scheduling are all theirs.
How we get paid — flat fee, not commission
When a referred installer receives a qualified lead (definition below), OffGrid Masterplan charges that installer a flat referral fee. The fee is fixed per lead. It is not a percentage of your system price, and it is not affected by what you end up paying. This matters: because our fee doesn't scale with the size or price of your system, we have no financial incentive to push you toward a bigger system or a pricier quote. The model is the same disclosure-first pattern used by SolarQuotes — the fee pays for the introduction, full stop.
Who qualifies as an installer
Installers we refer must be CEC-accredited (accredited by the Clean Energy Council under the relevant accreditation scheme for the work — e.g. battery, grid-connect or stand-alone power systems) and employ or contract licensed electricians who hold the appropriate state or territory electrical licence for the work performed. Accreditation and licensing are checked before an installer joins the referral list, and re-checked if a complaint about a referral is upheld.
What counts as a "qualified lead"
A lead is "qualified" when all of the following are true: the contact details are genuine and reachable; the postcode is in an area the installer actually services; the project is within the type of work the installer performs; and the person has asked to be contacted. A wrong-fit enquiry is absorbed by us, not billed to the installer — but fake or unreachable details are not billable either.
What we never do
- We never sell your details. They go to the one matched installer — no lead marketplaces, no resale, no "partners".
- We never rank or order installers by who pays us more. There is one flat fee; there is nothing to bid on.
- We never take a commission on your system price. Our fee is fixed and is known to the installer up front.
- We never claim to have vetted a quote's price or quality. We check accreditation and licensing — not workmanship. That's what reviews, references and your own due diligence are for.
Ballpark guidance — not licensed advice
The calculators, guides and this referral service provide general ballpark estimates and introductions for planning purposes only. They are not engineering, electrical, plumbing, financial, or legal advice, and they are not a substitute for a licensed professional. Solar arrays, battery banks and high-voltage DC systems must be designed and signed off by appropriately licensed tradespeople (in Australia, this includes CEC-accredited installers and licensed electricians). We accept no liability for loss, damage, injury, or non-compliance arising from reliance on figures produced by this site, or from any work performed by an installer you met through this referral service. The referral is an introduction only — always confirm the installer's accreditation and licence yourself before engaging them.
Referral disclosure: if you use this form, OffGrid Masterplan charges the matched installer a flat fee per qualified lead — never a percentage of your system price, and never anything from you. Your details are shared only with that one installer.
