New Solar Installations

As the world moves toward sustainable energy solutions, Australian homeowners are increasingly recognising the value of preparing their homes for solar energy. Solar Installation is more than just installing solar panels; it’s about future-proofing homes to be more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective. Here’s why every Australian household should consider getting solar ready for the future.

 

One of the most compelling reasons to make homes solar ready is the potential for significant cost savings on energy bills. Solar energy allows homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing reliance on the grid and protecting against rising electricity prices. By producing energy during the day and using it in real time or storing it in batteries for later use, homeowners can significantly reduce their energy expenses. Over time, the cost savings can offset the initial investment, leading to long-term financial benefits.

 

Solar Installation is essential due to its cost-saving potential, environmental friendliness, energy independence, long-term investment benefits, increased property value, and ongoing technological advancements.

Advantages of Solar

  • Invest in your future - Take advantage of Australia's abundant sunshine to help dramatically reduce your electricity prices.
  • Help our environment - Lower your carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions with a reliable solar system.
  • Improve your home - Enjoy the benefits of adding value to your home by installing good quality energy saving features.
  • Be Prepared - Having a solar power system ensures you have a backup source of electricity and peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money can I save by installing solar panels?

The amount of money you can save with solar panels depends on various factors such as your energy consumption, local solar incentives, and system size. On average, homeowners can save anywhere from 50% to 100% of their electricity costs after installing solar panels.

Do solar panels work during cloudy or rainy days?

Yes, solar panels still generate electricity even on cloudy or rainy days. While sunlight intensity affects their efficiency, modern solar panels are designed to capture diffused sunlight, allowing them to produce electricity even under less ideal weather conditions.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and typically come with warranties of 25 to 30 years. However, solar panels can continue to produce electricity well beyond their warranty period, with many systems lasting 30 years or more.

Do I need battery storage with solar panels?

Battery storage is not a requirement for solar panel installations, but it can enhance the benefits of your system. Batteries allow you to store excess energy generated during the day and use it during the evenings or during power outages, increasing self-consumption and providing backup power.

Solar installation Process

1

Design Consultation

A personalised design consultation assesses your energy needs, roof structure, and budget. Experts create a tailored solar panel system plan to maximise energy efficiency and savings. This step ensures the proposed design aligns with your goals, local regulations, and optimal sun exposure for maximum energy production.
2

Proposal Acceptance

Once the solar system design is finalised, a detailed proposal is presented, outlining costs, timelines, and system specifications. Upon acceptance, the project moves forward with necessary approvals and scheduling. This stage ensures transparency, allowing customers to understand the project's scope, benefits, and return on investment.
3

Site Inspection

A comprehensive site inspection verifies roof integrity, shading, and electrical systems to ensure proper installation conditions. Technicians assess roof space, identify potential obstacles, and finalise the placement of solar panels and equipment. This essential step guarantees optimal system performance and compliance with local safety and building regulations.
4

Grid Connection Approvals

Approval from local energy providers and regulatory authorities is required for grid connection. Applications are submitted, and permissions are obtained to ensure the solar system can feed excess energy back into the grid. This process ensures compliance with grid standards and eligibility for energy credits or incentives.
5

Installation

The installation process typically takes four weeks, including mounting solar panels, inverters, and electrical components. Skilled technicians ensure proper alignment, secure connections, and safety compliance. Once complete, a system inspection verifies functionality, and the system is ready for activation, enabling homeowners to start generating clean, renewable energy.
6

Maintenance

Our skilled team service photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and inverters, heat pump hot water systems, and solar batteries to maintain maximum efficiency. It is required that your rooftop solar system, and hot water systems, be inspected and serviced every five years. You can be confident that our team will provide the ongoing help and support needed to ensure the longevity of your solar systems.
