Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a solar assessment cost?

Solar assessments cost $300/site and this will includes mapping of rooftop and car park areas and modelling solar production for 10-20 solar sizes against your existing energy consumption. 

We would recommend a system size with payback period based on optimum energy utilisation with solar. 9 x other options are provided for you to consider.

Do I need to proceed to procurement if I opt-in to the assessment?

No, if you are not happy with the offer price, you don’t need to proceed.

Hungry Jacks strongly encourages Franchisees to utilise the process and buying power of Hungry Jacks to contract solar through the procurement process.

Franchisees who have opted out after the assessment can later install the solar using Hungry Jacks approved suppliers, panels, and invertor, however installation before the end of Q4 2024 is highly recommended in line with Hungry Jacks' green energy goals.

Are rebates available for solar?

All solar systems up to 100 kW at a site will be eligible for the STC rebate, the rebates are built into the pricing. This represents ~30% of the total system cost and decreases by around 15% each calendar year out to 2030.

What happens in the procurement process?

We will be running a competitive procurement process with all feasible Franchisee restaurants that have opted in. All participating solar retailers will be vetted and scored to ensure quality of the solution. Hungry Jacks will select 1-3 solar retailers to deliver all projects for Franchisee restaurants.

Do I need to proceed to implementation if I opt-in to procurement?

Yes, Franchisees should expect to enter a contract with the chosen solar retailer(s) and accept the offered price that is determined through the procurement process. The final offered price will be in-line or cheaper than initial assessment price.

How will I know solar has been implemented to a high quality?

Beam Solar will provide project management and quality assurance during the installation and will audit a number of projects after completion to ensure quality and compliance.

How will I ensure my solar is working correctly?

Your solar’s production will be tracked using a SolarAnalytics monitoring device. If a fault ever occurs or your solar’s performance drops below what is expected it will notify you directly.

What if there are issues with my solar system?

All solar retailers will be required to offer a 10-year installation warranty, the inverters they offer will have a minimum 10-year warranty and the panels will have a minimum 15-year warranty.

All warranty claims can be made directly to the solar retailer during the installation warranty period. Outside of the Installation warranty period warranty claims can be made directly with the equipment manufacturer.

Is ongoing maintenance required?

Solar does not typically require ongoing maintenance. All solar systems will include monitoring to determine the performance of the system and whether cleaning of the solar panels or an inspection is required. 

What is the expected solar system size, cost and payback period?

The standard Hungry Jacks restaurant can fit around 25kW on its roof. This system generally costs from $20,000 to $30,000 and has a payback period ranging from 4-6 years depending on factors such as your stores location, construction type and electricity costs.

If you have a carpark you can generally fit up to 100kW with a higher cost of implementation and payback period.
