Frequently Asked Questions
The amount you save depends on your energy usage, location, and the size of the system. On average, customers can reduce their electricity bills by up to 70%, with further savings by storing excess energy in a battery for later use.
Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, with minimal maintenance required. Modern batteries generally have a lifespan of 10-15 years, depending on usage and quality. Both are excellent long-term investments in energy efficiency.
Yes, it’s possible to run fully off solar with the right-sized system and battery storage. Most people choose a hybrid setup, using solar power during the day and stored battery power or grid electricity at night, to ensure consistent energy availability.
After an initial assessment of your energy needs, we design a system tailored to your property. The installation process can vary from 1-3 days to 4-6 weeks, depending on the size of the system. We handle everything from connect applications, engineering to the final commission and handover.
Yes, many governments offer incentives such as feed-in tariffs, tax credits, or grants to help reduce the cost of installing solar and battery systems. We can advise you on any available schemes and assist in applying for them.
Put simply, whatever energy doesn’t get used by the household is “exported” to the electricity Grid at a rate determined by the energy retailer. This rate is referred to as a feed in tariff (FIT) and is measured in cents per kilo watt hour (c/kWh). Some electricity retailers offer a higher feed in tariff for excess solar, but it is important to understand what your usage rate is in exchange for a higher FIT. Sometimes, it is not worth sending anything back to the grid because it simply isn’t worth that much.
Another effective way to utilize excess energy generated by solar is to install a Battery. This allows you to store and use solar energy during peak demand periods (4pm-9pm) where charges are higher than off peak periods (daytime).
We consider a variety of factors prior to recommending an appropriately sized system. Believe it or not, a bigger system doesn’t mean that you get the best benefit. When assessing the suitability of a Solar PV system, we assess the following.
- Your energy consumption throughout the year
- Your location and the surrounding environment (trees, neighboring buildings ect)
- Your roof type and space available
- Your long-term plans
- Your budget
- Your energy habits and the overall profile of the home/business
The good news is that we consult with you on sizing a solar system and consider all the above criteria before proposing a tailored solution.
Solar STCs, or Solar Small-scale Technology Certificates, are renewable energy certificates associated with small-scale solar power systems in Australia. They represent the environmental benefits obtained from generating renewable energy. Eligible solar power systems with a capacity of 100 kilowatts or less can create and sell STCs based on factors such as system capacity, location, installation date, and expected energy generation.
Essentially, they can be used to lower the cost of your new Solar PV system and we can handle the process for you.
