Solar quotes are easier to compare when you separate design, equipment, installation scope and savings assumptions. The final price matters, but it is not the whole quote.
Start with the system size, panel count, inverter model and whether a battery is included. Then check scaffolding, electrical work, MCS certification and handover paperwork. If a quote leaves those items vague, ask for the detail before comparing it with another installer.
The savings estimate deserves its own read. Ask what annual generation figure has been used, how self-consumption has been estimated and what export tariff is assumed. A quote that relies on very high self-consumption may look attractive on paper while being hard to achieve in a home that is empty during the day.
Good quote comparison is a little dull. That is a compliment. The best proposal is usually the one that explains the roof, the usage pattern, the equipment and the caveats without making every number sound certain.
