Investing in solar is one of the best ways to take control of your energy bills and reduce reliance on the grid. But let’s be honest – good quality solar and battery systems aren’t cheap. Solar can save you money in the long run, but the upfront cost can feel overwhelming.
The good news? You don’t have to pay for everything at once.
Flexible payment options mean you can start saving on your power bills straight away, and pay your system off over time (avoiding the big upfront cost).
There’s no single “best” option for everyone. The right choice depends on what you’re buying, your financial position, and even when you decide to buy (since rates and offers can change with the market).
That’s why 1KOMMA5˚° works with you directly — to compare options, explain the differences, and recommend the structure that makes the most sense for your home and your goals.
At Solar Neighbourhoods you can pay for your system using a range of methods:
The simplest, lowest-cost way to purchase. Pay once, own your system outright from day one, and maximise your long-term savings.
Spread the cost of your solar or battery system into predictable monthly repayments, often with zero-interest structures.
Specially designed for energy-efficient upgrades, with competitive interest rates and flexible repayment terms.

Council vetting the provider and products gave us the confidence to finally go ahead.
We’d been considering solar and a battery for a while but researching products and installers was time consuming and it was difficult to get a handle on the best options. The $1,250 discount and knowing Council had vetted the provider and products made the decision easy. 1KOMMA5 delivered excellent service with quality products and friendly, professional installers, and the difference to our bills, and our awareness of our power use through the app was more or less instant. Solar Neighbourhoods is a great practical initiative that has genuinely benefited our household and helped us take a tangible action that helps the environment.
The installation was smooth, professional and very well communicated.
The whole Solar Neighbourhoods process has been great. The team at 1KOMMA5 gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. The installation was smooth, professional and very well communicated. I’m really happy with the result and confident this will have a positive environmental impact. I’d thoroughly encourage others to join the program. It’s good for you and the planet.
I’d highly recommend the Solar Neighbourhoods program.
As a family of five our quarterly power bill was already high, and with prices rising we knew we had to make a change. We chose to add a battery through Solar Neighbourhoods so we could use the energy from our existing solar panels at night when we’re actually home and need it most. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable it was, and the whole process was really easy. I’d highly recommend the Solar Neighbourhoods program. It has been great for us.
