FAQ’S

When it comes to how much you can save with solar, this will vary between households. Below are the factors which can impact your savings.

Energy prices – As energy prices increase, the worth of your kWh production will only grow. Your buyback (sell) rate is also a factor in this equation, the more you can get from excess solar production, the greater your savings will be and overall return from solar.

Self-consumption – When you produce solar power, you can either use it yourself first or sell this excess energy back to your energy retailer or the grid. The savings generated from self-consumption are usually greater than selling back to the grid, which is why many homeowners try to maximise their savings by using this method.

System production – The more kWh of energy your solar PV system produces, the more you are likely to save. However, system production is not just determined by the system size. It also comes down to other factors such as the location of the installation, site conditions (eg. pitch, orientation, direction), and the quality of the components used in the solar installation etc.

The Federal Government financial incentives for solar power in community organizations and small businesses are the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. Under this scheme, a solar power system can make Small-scale Technology Certificates that may be sold partly offset the cost of the system. Small-scale Technology Certificates have restored the former Renewable Energy Certificates.

Feed-In Tariffs are a different kind of benefit that offer ongoing financial incentive rather than upfront cost depletion. Feed-In Tariffs are basically applied to your electricity account through your energy retailer for any energy that is feed back to the grid from your Solar System. You can ask your retailer about what rate they offer per kW as Tariff rates vary.

The payback period of a solar power system differs extensively depending on the initial investment for the system, the size of the system, the usage patterns of the customers, and the cost obtained as a Feed-In Tariff from the energy retailer. For premises that utilize small amounts of electricity & obtain the premium Feed-In Tariff, the payback period can be less than three years. For premises that utilize a lot of electricity & are not eligible for the premium Feed-In Tariff, the payback period will be closer to seven years.

The amount of electricity that you produce depends on the size of your system, which way it is facing, whether there is any shading from trees or other buildings, and the local climatic conditions. We can provide an indication of the average generation a Solar Energy System will give to your business and Residents.

Gross metering computes all the power your solar panels generate and all the power that you utilize on the premises. This kind of metering is utilized where there is a gross Feed-In Tariff such as in the Australian Capital Territory. Net metering computes only the difference between what your solar power system is generating and what you are absorbing. Under net metering, you are paid the net Feed-In Tariff for the excess power you generate and must pay the usage tariff for any power that you import.

You will only be paid for the electricity that you export to the grid. You should check the Feed-In Tariff provided by your electricity retailer & compare offers from different retailers.

A Solar System is expected to carry on with generating electricity for 25+ years if maintained. Solar Panel manufacturers guarantee that the system will continue to generate not less than 80% of their efficiency for 25 years.

Very minimal maintenance is requisite provided that the components of the Solar Power System are fabricated to a high level of quality. The surface of the panels is self-cleaning depending on the degree of the pitch. However, a periodical health check is recommended to ensure that the system will function its best for 25 years. It is recommended on having the solar system inspected and maintained by an accredited solar electrician every 2 years.

The frame & mounting kit system is anodized and corrosion-resistant. They are covered in an anticorrosive component. The Inverter is created for exposure to the environment and offer the electrical components that are created of a high-quality and are constructed to resist all weather conditions.

Solar Energy is a renewable energy that comes from resources that are naturally restored on a human timescale like wind, sunlight, rain, waves, tides, & geothermal heat. Solar power generation does not create greenhouse gas emissions or air pollution that are healthy for the environment & will help to fight against Global Warming.

Solar panels require sunlight to produce electricity. Under the cloud, solar panels will not operate at full capacity. The more cloud there is, the lower the output of the solar panels. During the night, solar panels will not produce any electricity. For a grid connect system the household will get power from the electricity grid. For remote area power supply systems, the power will come from the batteries.
