Solar Panels – What You Need to Know Before Installing Solar Panels

Image
Investing in solar panels can reduce energy bills, increase property value, and contribute to a cleaner planet. However, before you get your hands on a system, it’s important to research your options. You should also consider the rebates available in your area and choose a trusted installer. The first step is to calculate your home’s hourly energy requirements. You can do this by looking at your electricity bill. Cost Purchasing and installing solar panels in Canberra can be pricey. However, a good Canberra solar company can help you save money by providing a flexible payment plan. They can also explain the various government incentives available. Choosing the right size of solar system depends on your energy consumption habits and budget. A bigger system will generate more electricity during sunlight hours. But, you should remember that it may not produce as much excess energy that will get sent back to the grid. Moreover, the return on your investment will be better when you...

Home Solar Batteries – What You Need to Know

Image
Home solar batteries have come a long way since they first burst onto the scene. What was once a product reserved for tech/eco-enthusiasts has become an economically rational option for many Australian households. Single-use alkaline and rechargeable batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 6V and 9V) as well as button cells and rechargeable batteries from cameras and power tools can be recycled at Coles, Woolworths and Officeworks stores. Check with the store to see if they have in-store battery recycling units. Cost Big batteries store energy when there’s less demand and can distribute it when it’s needed, typically in the early evenings when the sun is no longer shining. The ACT has also commissioned neighbourhood-scale batteries to support individual sites, including the first behind-the-meter battery in the all-electric suburb of Jacka. The ACT government’s Next Generation Energy Storage Grants scheme offers Canberra households and small businesses up to $4,125 for a battery system that ...

Using solar power means less reliance on fossil fuels which cause air pollution. This not only negatively affects human health, it also contributes to climate change. You may be eligible for government rebates and energy provider offers. Make sure your solar panel installation company understands these incentives and can help you maximise your return on investment. Monocrystalline When sunlight reaches the solar panel, it is converted into direct current (DC) energy. This energy is then fed into your home and any excess is sent to the grid where it can be credited on your electricity bills. The octagonal shape of these cells allows them to fit more cells into the same space and reduces mirroring, increasing efficiency and power production. They are also coated with silicon nitride, which reduces reflection and increases the absorption of sunlight to generate electricity. These are the most efficient panels and come with a long warranty. They are easy to spot with their distinctiv...
