Refrain from hindering or obstructing this access
Ensure that the Premises, including its roof, supporting structures, and electrical wiring, are in sound condition and capable of accommodating the installation.

Delivery

We are obligated to either deliver or arrange the delivery of the System to your premises.

The responsibility for any loss, theft, or damage to the System transfers to you upon its delivery to the premises

SOLAR BOOM will exert reasonable efforts to ensure that your System is delivered and installed on the agreed-upon date.

It is acknowledged that the agreed date serves as a target rather than a strict deadline, and SOLAR BOOM will not be held liable if we are unable to deliver and install the System at the Installation Address by the agreed date.

Installation

The installation process must align with the design and specifications outlined by Solar Boom, unless circumstances arise that necessitate a new design or specification. Such changes may impact the overall price.

Solar Boom provides guidance to consumers on assessing their system's performance. The recommended method for measuring energy output involves a demonstration:

post-installation, the installer will instruct on reading energy output on the inverter for the entire system and guide through the shutdown procedure
Solar Boom provides user manuals and warranty documents for components.
Energy output is a reasonable measure of performance; savings are not.

Building Defects

While we will exercise all reasonable precautions during the installation of the System at the Premises, our liability does not extend to

the structural integrity of the roof
The Insulation factors of the roof
the roof's capacity to support the weight of the System;
any impact the System installation may have on the warranty provided by the roof manufacturer
any damage to the roof or Premises that is not a result of our negligence or a breach of this agreement.

You affirm that the building or location at the Installation Address is secure, devoid of defects, including being asbestos-free, and suitable for installing the System. You recognize that Solar Boom bears no responsibility for any System damage or harm to your building arising from defects or deficiencies in your building or any part thereof.

Solar Boom assumes no responsibility or liability for suboptimal performance or installation issues if your building features brittle roof tiles, oxidized metal roofs, meter boxes, or inadequate roof supports. It is imperative that you rectify such defects before Solar Boom proceeds with the System installation.

Upon installation at your specified address, ownership and insurance risk for the PV solar system transfer to you. SOLAR BOOM recommends consulting your insurance company to ascertain their requirements for ensuring adequate coverage of your PV solar system under your policy.

Warranties

Solar Boom offers a separate and additional warranty period of five years for the overall operation and performance of the entire solar PV system, encompassing both workmanship and products. This warranty is distinct from and supplementary to the warranties provided by the product manufacturers.

During the initial five years of solar system operation, if any faults or defects arise in the supplied products or the installation workmanship, Solar Boom will address and rectify the issues at no cost to you. Solar Boom is also committed to repairing any damage or leaks resulting from the solar system installation, provided Solar Boom is promptly notified of such damage. This warranty covers all associated costs for repairing or replacing damaged components, including on-site labor.

The system's performance is contingent on various local factors such as roof orientation, pitch, direct sunlight hours, cloud cover, and shading from structures and trees, some of which may change over time.

SOLAR BOOM warrants that all installed products are free from defective parts and workmanship, ensuring they are in good working order from the installation date. SOLAR BOOM retains the right to determine the type of defect and the cause of failure. No repair or replacement will be provided if the damage is attributable to

Accident, negligence, misuse, theft, vandalism, fire, water, electrical surge, lightning strike, or other perils.

If the installation design undergoes unavoidable changes without your consent due to unforeseen circumstances.

STC Incentives

STCs serve as government incentives to alleviate the initial costs of installing your solar PV system. The quantity of STCs your system receives depends on its size and location. These certificates are generated post the installation of an eligible system, and their calculation is based on the amount of electricity produced or replaced by the system (i.e., electricity from non-renewable sources).

By using our STC assignment form, you recognize that all rights to generate the STCs are transferred Solar Boom.

Any mention of Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) must align with the guidelines of the Clean Energy Regulator, clarifying that STCs constitute a financial incentive rather than a rebate. Furthermore, you acknowledge that you are not eligible for any government-based financial compensation upon the completion of the STC creation process

You commit to providing Solar Boom with all accurately completed documents required for the creation of STCs for your property. This process will be conducted on your behalf, in consultation with the Clean Energy Regulator, allowing Solar Boom to sell the STCs as partial payment for the solar system.

In the event that the Clean Energy Regulator does not approve the creation of the STCs associated with your assignment form, Solar Boom reserves the right to invoice you for the full Sale Price. The outstanding balance of the invoice must be promptly settled by you.

Solar Boom will determine the current market price of STCs as the STCs price in the quotation. If any delays occur on your end in the installation timeframe and the market price of STCs drops during that period, Solar Boom will recalculate the pricing with the consent of both parties. Any payable difference will be communicated to you, and either party can opt to terminate the contract with written notice, with a full deposit refund.

You grant Solar Boom the authority to sell the STCs either through the open STC market (based on variable market prices) or through the STC Clearing House.

Approvals

Grid Connection Approval

We will apply the application for Grid Connection Approval on your behalf, undertaking the following actions

Submitting the application at the earliest opportunity
Keeping you informed of the application's progress
Responding promptly, within a reasonable timeframe, to any information or requests from the distributor
Providing you with prompt notice of the application's outcome

Your acquisition of the System is contingent upon the approval of Grid Connection.

If Grid Connection Approval is declined, this agreement will be terminated, and any necessary refund will be issued.

Additional Approvals

It is your responsibility to apply for and secure any additional approvals, permits, or consents necessary for the System's installation at the Premises.

Timely application for these approvals, permits, and consents is essential.

The sale and installation of the System, along with our respective obligations under this agreement, are independent of and unaffected by your acquisition of these approvals, permits, and consents.

Feed-in-tariff

This agreement excludes the cost of purchasing and installing the new meter, which will be billed to you by your energy retailer and/or distributor after the solar system installation.

You acknowledge that while Solar Boom may assist in coordinating grid connection and meter installation, the arrangement for this connection lies between you and your energy retailer and/or distributor. Your electricity contract/tariff may be subject to change following solar installation, and it is advisable to contact your electricity retailer before signing a contract to ascertain any potential adjustments in tariff rates

Recognize that various energy retailers and/or distributors have distinct rules, requirements, and rates regarding compensation for the solar electricity you generate. Switching energy retailers might be necessary to receive the solar electricity feed-in tariff.

Solar Boom assumes no responsibility if you do not receive the solar feed-in-tariff. It is recommended to confirm with your retailer about the availability of the solar feed-in-tariff in your area and any associated conditions. Feed-in tariffs or solar electricity feed-in-tariff schemes are subject to State and Territory laws, and Solar Boom disclaims responsibility in the event of changes that impact the system's return on investment.
