It produces clean, green energy and reduces electricity bills. It is cost-effective and renewable, as you are harnessing power directly from the sun. It avoids the use of prominent power lines and will add value to the look of your home.
Solar power systems convert the energy from sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this direct current to alternating current (AC), to make it compatible with household electricity. Solar power systems need to face north to gain maximum daylight hours.
To take advantage of maximum daylight hours, solar panels are usually installed on north-facing roofs. However, if your roof does not face north talk to our accredited installer for an alternative solution.
The solar hot water systems currently available in Australia are flat plate solar hot water, heat pump, and evacuated tube solar hot water.
A conventional electric storage hot water system can typically use around 35% of your electricity bill. With solar hot water installed, you can save up to 80% of that 35% consumption, depending on the type of system installed.
