It is important to know the direction of the home’s roof. It should get sunlight between 9am and 3pm. In addition, the space on the roof should be at least 15x15m for a minimum 1.5kW system and the roof should be strong enough to support the solar panel system.

Yes, the value of your home increases by reducing the yearly running costs and installing the solar panel adds a capital asset to your property. In a few years, it is possible to recover the made on this system can be recovered and can fetch a higher price for a home if it is sold.

This system saves you money on electricity bills and increases the overall value of your home. The government has several grants, incentives set aside for renewable energy, and if you qualify for any of these Australian Government’s subsidies, you could save thousands of dollars on any of the solar systems.

When maintained properly, these systems can produce electricity for more than 25 years. Most solar panel manufacturers guarantee at least 80% efficiencyof these systems for at least 25 years.

For high quality system parts, the maintenance required is usually negligible. The surface panels are normally self-cleaning depending on the tilt of the panel and the roof. However, just like with all equipment a regular ‘health check’ for the system, will ensure that it works to its optimum for the entire 25+ years duration. A maintenance schedule will be provided post installation.

The main components of the system are made from anodised aluminium and coated with an anticorrosive agent. Even the inverter is manufactured to withstand environmental exposure. The electrical components, if high quality, are also built to endure all kinds of weather conditions.

Yes absolutely. Solar power is a renewable form of energy and therefore does not produce greenhouse emissions or create air pollution. This makes it environment friendly and you will become a contributor against global warming.

The Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) is the subsidy provided by the Federal Government. The solar power systems can create a Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) that can be sold to offset the price of the system incurred by the user. These STCs have replaced the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Feed in tariffs is another type of benefit that provides on-going financial incentives rather than an upfront price reduction. These tariffs may vary, so it is best to first check the rate per kilowatt of power.
