When choosing a solar or battery installer, one question comes up repeatedly:
“Do you use in-house installers or contractors?”
At Stag Electrical, we believe this question often misses the point.
The real differentiator is not who holds the tools on install day.
It is how the work is designed, managed, supervised, and held accountable.
Just like residential builders do not personally build every home, but instead manage multiple specialist contractors under strict systems, successful solar projects depend on process, quality control, and oversight, not job titles.
Our Approach: Process First, Always
At Stag Electrical, every installation follows the same Stag Electrical quality and standards, regardless of whether it is completed by an in-house electrician or a trusted contractor partner.
This includes:
- Centralised system design and engineering
- Standardised installation requirements
- Safety and compliance verification
- Product selection and compatibility checks
- Final sign-off and accountability by Stag Electrical
This is why outcomes stay consistent.
It is the process that protects the customer, not the employment structure.
How We Deliver Installations Across Australia
In ACT and regional NSW, installations are often completed by our internal teams.
In Sydney and selected interstate locations, we work with carefully selected contractor partners.
In practice, many projects involve a mix of both, depending on availability, specialisation, and project requirements.
What does not change:
- Stag Electrical remains fully responsible for the project
- Installers operate under our systems, documentation, and supervision
- There is no hand-off to unknown third parties
- There is no “sales company vs installer” disconnect
You deal with one company, one standard, and one accountable party from start to finish.
Why Contractors Are Not the Risk
Every house, hospital, and commercial building in Australia is constructed by multiple contractors.
This is not a problem because:
- Builders carefully select their trades
- Work is sequenced and inspected
- Standards are enforced consistently
- Accountability sits with one managing entity
Solar is no different.
Poor outcomes in the industry usually come from:
- Weak processes
- No installation oversight
- Sales-led models chasing volume
- No long-term accountability
Businesses with only in-house staff can, and often do, deliver poor outcomes when systems and controls are lacking. Process failures cause bad installs, not contractor models.
What “Fully Managed” Actually Means
Regardless of who performs the physical installation, Stag Electrical is responsible for:
- System design and performance modelling
- Panel, inverter, and battery selection
- Grid approvals and utility coordination
- STC and solar rebate processing
- Installation standards and compliance sign-off
- Monitoring, warranties, and aftercare
Nothing is outsourced without oversight.
Nothing is completed without accountability.
Our Commitment
Where we install directly, we do so under strict systems.
Where we work with partners, we manage them the same way.
What customers receive is consistent:
- Honest advice
- Professional system design
- Clear communication
- High installation standards
- Long-term support from a company that stands behind its work
That is what fully managed solar and battery installations really mean.
