Skycast by SEBSS
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the free Skycast solar and battery savings estimator for Australian homes.
What is Skycast?
Skycast is a free online tool from SEBSS. You enter your address, optionally trace your roof on a satellite map, and get an estimate of how much solar panels, a home battery, or both could save you over 30 years — usually in about 60 seconds.
Is Skycast free to use?
Yes. Skycast is completely free, with no account required and no obligation. You can explore estimates and only share contact details if you want SEBSS to follow up with a quote or site visit.
Does Skycast work for Australian homes?
Yes. Skycast is built for Australian residential customers, with planning assumptions tuned for Queensland — including typical sun hours, local electricity tariffs, and residential system size norms.
Can I estimate a battery without tracing my roof?
Yes. If you are mainly interested in a home battery, you can start from the battery path and skip the roof trace. You can add solar to the comparison later by tracing your roof.
Are Skycast figures a formal quote?
No. Skycast produces planning estimates based on typical Australian conditions, your usage assumptions, and (when provided) a hand-traced roof outline. Actual results depend on roof pitch, orientation, shading, and a site assessment. SEBSS confirms real numbers on site.
