25.01.2022 In solar installation cases where the size of the system is below 100kW, you will qualify for what are know as STCs. These are government subsidies that allow for discounted prices. However, these subsidies are being phased out slowly, so year on/year in, they will drop annually until by 2032 they will cease to exist. If you are looking into solar, you might like to inquire right now, and maximise your rebates. Because come 31st December, they will drop for the next year.

22.01.2022 Did you know, installing 10kW of solar, is equivalent to the air quality cleanliness of 25 acres acres of woodland?

18.01.2022 The solar inverter is one of the most important elements of your solar electric power system. Its main objective is to convert the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into an alternating 240V current (AC). This AC electricity then can be fed into your home to operate your usage patterns. Not only that of course, as your inverter is like the brain monitoring all the patterns from yield to usage. Thats why a quality inverter is imperative. T...he inverter will appropriate the electricity that is not used in your home to then be fed back into the grid or in some cases charge an attached battery, for later usage into outside solar yield times. Therefore, it is imperative to understand that long lasting solar power systems require a high-quality inverter with a robust convection cooling system. Low quality inverters have unfortunately failed in the Australian climate. Solar Australia, only installs high quality systems to last. See more

18.01.2022 An industry consensus over the last three years has found some interesting employment figures in the energy industry. It found that just over 8000 people are working in the fossil fuel electrical generation sector (doesnt include retail power supply authorities, or distribution networks, which is the same for all energy entities), and that over 12,500 work directly in the solar industry. However, when utility power via solar generation is concerned, it is predicted towards t...he middle of the next decade, employment will rise upwards of 60,000 jobs, being created across building, finance and design. This is obviously in stark contrast to the aging fossil fuel power plants. As this trend continues over the long-term, the operational output of utility scale renewables is going to collectively outstrip non-renewable power generation, that will no doubt be eventually phased out. The research has quantified renewable power brings about many encouraging advantages, boasting that moving away from fossil fuels not only revitalises employment prospects, cost savings and environmental issues, but that in- particular, it is the regional areas who will see employment increase significantly accordingly.

18.01.2022 If you’re running a business and wish to keep control of costs, one great way to do this is to save on energy bills. Your electricity bills are something a business owner must consider. It is part of the service to manufacturing cost, and by implementing measures to ensure more cost-effective production, can only be a benefit. If you are a business owner, you are paying for electricity, and if you haven’t installed solar power yet, you need to ask yourself why not?

We have specialised government funding criteria, that will save you so much money from the get-go. Don’t waste a second longer and start saving thousands of dollars now! See more

17.01.2022 Solar is clean energy. Interestingly, there is confused information about pollution statistics currently. So, when calculations are made as to the harmful effects of traditional electrical power generation entities, i.e. coal fired power stations, accuracy must offer answers, which as such solar power comes way out in-front of the best long term positive outcomes, against other power generation providers. This equates to the harmful toxic chemicals pumped into the atmosphe...re. Yes, there is the initial environmental cost in the manufacturing process of solar, but the incredible longevity of their power generation, leaves zero doubt as to the environmental positive outcomes. Solar cleans the environment.

16.01.2022 Solar power systems are relatively low maintenance, and you can expect many years of guaranteed power yield. However, hosing (normal hose is ok, power-jet-wash is not) the solar panels down once a year will help increase efficiency, but if you see debris etc, a bit of soapy water will also help. Certainly, dont go on the panels and use anything corrosive or abrasive. There are properly accredited solar panel cleaners available and for larger systems, it would be well worth making inquiries through a regulatory body to make sure you are dealing with a reputable entity. Make an inquiry with us now, to see how we can help you.

15.01.2022 It needs to be bright and sunny for solar panels to work? One of the great myths about solar power is that it can only work when the sun is out shining in full force. To the contrary, if you have solar panels installed, they will generate electricity for you every day. While the output may vary, solar energy will never leave you in the dark. On a cloudy day for example, solar panels still produce up to 90% of their typical output, because UV actually penetrates the clouds. In... actual fact, heat has nearly zero to do with yield, because on extremely hot days, it may actually dilute the power output slightly. Make sure you install tier 1 panels, as they are graded for performance. Given the yearly average of power generation, one may calculate a mean average across a twelve-month period determined by 4.1 multiplied by the size of your system. In other words, if you have a 5kW system, you will generate 20.5kWh per day. Now thats equivalent to most peoples household daily usage. Get in touch with us now, and lets show you how we can smash your electricity bill out of the park! See more

15.01.2022 Solar Australia shares our hearts to the efforts of all the firefighters, giving their all in saving lives, and battling unimaginable odds. We are in awe of your commitment.

15.01.2022 The solar panel mounting system is extremely important as this connects the system to your roof. Solar mounting systems have to hold the system to the roof for 25 years or more. The system has to be designed to withstand wind loads as well as withstand extreme heat or cold. The mounting system is attached to a central point in the roof structure so the solar panel weight can be transferred to the structure of the building and everything can be anchored down for safety.

14.01.2022 By adding a battery to your solar installation will be an absolute game-changer that helps you to maximise the value of your solar system investment. It will appreciate the yield youve produced during the day in a residential environment. Therefore, you can store excess solar energy generated during the day, and then use it at night. Should your solar system generate more than the battery can store, it will be exported back into the grid and you could get a credit on your electricity bill for the amount exported. At Solar Australia we have great options with fantastic pricing. Make an inquiry and start to save yourself money now.

11.01.2022 Solar Energy is cheaper than fossil fuels. When gaging the actual costings of solar energy against fossil fuels, the difference shows very favourable figures for the consumer. If we were to take the most efficient fossil fuel such as natural gas, even when considering costs are amortised, solar comes out more cost-effective. Gas equals 5.9 cents per kWh, in relation to solar at 4.2 cents per kWh over a twelve-year term, in relation to power production equated against costs. B...ut when coal generation is calculated, the equation doesnt stack up at all. Only political reasoning substantiates moving forward with such generation methods, as costs simply blow out, not to mention the environmental issues. Solar power generation is far more cost efficient against all other forms of electrical production. And right now, gas isnt remotely or properly explored here in Australia, as a substantial move forward. In trying to do so, would be a huge waste of funding. Heres why. Solar has extremely low maintenance costs, whereas for example, coal/gas fired power plants require ridiculous maintenance expenditure. Trying to rely and keep a sustainable plan with fossil fuels, is simply bad business for everybody. The future is renewable power, and as Solar Australia continues to move forward in this cutting-edge technology industry, always providing excellent services, its customers enjoy significant power bill savings accordingly. Inquire right now, and see how you can save so much money, off your power bill.

06.01.2022 Water is our most precious resource, and obviously must be protected. So, consider the fact that we live on the driest continent on the planet and things get a little more interesting. When traditional fossil fuel electricity generating plants use enormous amounts of water, would it be a prudent measure to utilise this staggering water usage elsewhere? Maybe redirect this life giving resource towards the agricultural industry instead? Solar uses zero water, apart from the rainfall cleaning solar panel surfaces. Even more reason to use solar clean energy.

03.01.2022 Sure on a full day of sun, the solar power yield is very rewarding. But even on darker days with cloud, one can expect a yield of 85% UV powering through the clouds, thus substantiating how effective solar power is.

02.01.2022 Effect of panel orientation on solar output. The directional orientation of solar panels should ideally face for optimum sun exposure accordingly, thus dependant on location. Here in Australia, solar power yields are higher when panels face north at an angle of 20 for optimal benefit. In fact, all Southern Hemisphere locations should ideally position panels in a northerly direction. If your property however is located in the Northern Hemisphere, panels facing south would per...form best. But, time usage must be taken into consideration, as East -West scenarios will play a significant role, in criteria usage/yield also. Potential midday drops of usage sees an early day and late day usage power draw instead. Such early/late grid draw, would indicate a more residential pattern. However, in most commercial environments, they have a better fit than residential power consumption for solar, which sees so much commercial installations enjoying significant monetary savings, without the need for batteries, that compensates for solar yield in the daytime. Solar Australia has a specialist in-house design team, who will calculate these savings and provide an accurate account and specification of any system. Inquire with us now, to see how large those savings can be.

01.01.2022 Currently there is a special solar rebate for residential entities within Victoria. If you would like to find out more, to see if you qualify, please contact us.

01.01.2022 In a residential solar system, the usage patterns are far different than that of most commercial entities. Therefore, it makes absolute sense to consider installing a battery as well. In a residential setting, during the daytime, it is most probable that your solar system is creating more power than is needed by your home, in this time period. Therefore, the excess goes back into the grid and sold back at below par rates. However, would it not be prudent to store this energy ...instead, so that later in the day, this cost-effective power can be drawn upon when needed? Most consumption in a residential setting is either first thing in the morning, or after people finish work and return home. That is why, most residential settings, dont accomplish the best power bill savings, as those who have stored energy via batteries, or as those in commercial environments. Main evening usage drawn from the grid, isnt cost effective against stored power totals prior to 11.00pm whereby off-peak tariffs then kick in. Without a battery, one would simply rely on the feedback tariff during the day as an offset. A properly costed battery will maximise your investment accordingly. Solar Australia can offer you this. Whats more, you can take advantage of regenerating your battery during the night-time off peak tariff, should you drain the battery. This facility will make sure that even after the morning 7.00am cut-off for your off peak tariff, you would still have a fully charged battery that puts out the off peak tariff charge afterwards in relation to that time usage, making for a very cost effective price consumption scenario, instead of drawing from the grid, at the higher tariff rates. Contact us now, and well show you how to really save money.
