How
Solar Works
Every hour, more energy is produced by the sun than all of us in the world could use in a whole year. It’s clean, limitless, free solar energy.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels capture and convert sunlight into clean DC (direct current) electricity. A solar inverter then converts the DC electricity into grid-compliant AC (alternating current) that powers your home. Devices in your house will utilise the AC from the solar power system first and only draw electricity from the grid if you need more. If you are producing excessive power, this is returned to the grid.
You can check with your power provider to see if you are eligible for solar power credit. If so, you’ll earn credit for supplying your extra solar power back to the power grid.
Benefits of
Solar Power Systems
There are many benefits to investing in a solar power system. Clean solar energy is better for the environment, more stable in the long term, and better for your wallet. Here are our favourite four reasons to invest in solar power.
The biggest advantage of solar power is that it is a truly renewable energy source. You can take comfort in the fact that you’re doing your part to save our planet. Solar panels can be used anywhere and everywhere, and the energy is available to capture every day - even when it’s cloudy. The earth won’t run out of solar energy any time soon. If we ever did, we’d have bigger problems to worry about.
Other more common sources of electricity take a huge toll on the environment and may disappear sooner than you think. Solar power will be around as long as the sun. According to science, that will likely be another 5 billion years.
A solar power system won’t provide 100% of your energy needs, but it will help support your usage significantly. Supplement your energy usage with the electricity your solar system generates. This will cause your energy bills to drop and helps prevent them from increasing rapidly with extra usage. What starts as a well-researched investment, reaps multiple dividends when it comes to savings down the line.
How much you end up saving will depend on the size of your solar setup and your energy usage. Not only will you be saving on electricity costs, however, but you may also receive money back for the surplus that’s provided back to the power grid. Your extra electricity captured by the solar panels can be supplied back to the main power grid. This depends on whether you are connected to the grid though, of course.
In general, solar power systems don’t require much maintenance. As long as the solar panels are relatively clean, they will continue to capture solar energy from the sun. Cleaning them two or three times a year should be enough, but consult your owner’s manual or solar provider if you’re not sure. If access to the solar panels is difficult or you’re not comfortable dealing with the equipment, there are professionals around who will provide this service for you.
We provide solar products that come with warranties of up to 25 years. Solar system manufacturers are comfortable offering long warranties due to the fact that there are no moving parts. No moving parts means no wear and tear. After an initial investment in setting up your solar system with high-grade solar products, you can expect to spend very little on maintenance or repair work.
Solar power tech is improving constantly and these improvements are only going to speed up in the future. Governments around the world are jumping on the solar power initiative - offering grants to researchers, and rebates to consumers. Further innovation in areas like quantum physics and nanotechnology may also increase the efficiency of solar panels and continue bumping up the energy efficiency of solar power systems.
