Questions homeowners actually ask

Straight answers, before you talk to anyone.

What's the catch if there's no upfront cost?+

There isn't one — you pay a monthly subscription instead of buying the system outright. That fee covers the equipment, installation, maintenance and support for as long as you're subscribed.

Am I locked into a long-term contract?+

No. It's a month-to-month subscription rather than a fixed multi-year contract. Full terms are set out in your subscription agreement, which we'll walk you through before you sign anything.

What happens if I sell my house or move?+

This depends on the specifics of your agreement and your new address. Our team will talk you through the options as part of your free assessment.

Who owns the panels?+

Because it's a subscription, the system stays the property of Stage Zero for the life of the agreement. You get full use of it without the cost, risk or admin of owning the hardware yourself.

Who pays if something breaks?+

Maintenance and support are included in your subscription — you're not left chasing a technician or paying a surprise call-out fee.

What if it doesn't actually save me money?+

We'll go through your actual electricity usage and current spend before you commit, so you can see your projected numbers upfront.

Will it run my geyser, pool pump or oven?+

It depends on your household's usage and the system size recommended for your home. We size this during your free home assessment.
