Environmental Benefits

Sustainable

The energy that your solar panel system collects is clean, efficient and most importantly free. The system collects the sun during daylight hours all year round and converts this free energy into AC current that powers every single appliance in your home. Obviously the production of the solar panels and solar inverter does expend energy and materials, but with solar panels lasting 30+ years and inverters 10+ years and producing all your houses energy in between, investing in solar is one of, if not the, best thing you can do to reduce your carbon footprint.

Environmentally-Friendly

There are many things you can do to make your home and life eco friendly, from energy efficient light bulbs to 5 star rating appliances, but there really is no better bang for your buck than a Government funded investment in solar. The current energy you use is powered by fossil fuels which are a mixture of dead plant matter and toxins from millions of years ago dug up using huge amounts of energy and carted all round Australia and then released into the air. The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming, smog, and acid rain. Limiting the amount of fossil fuel that is taken from the earth will help alleviate not only global warming, but also the degradation of land resulting from gaining access to said fuels. Furthermore, many fossil fuels create the need to store dangerous, polluting and sometimes radioactive waste.

Silent

Solar panels have no moving parts and hence make no noise while operating, whereas other large scale renewable conversions like hydro and wind make a large amount of noise during construction and operation which can be a problem for your peace of mind, as well as your close neighbours. Solar panels are also becoming more and more contemporary in design and conversions really can be built with your house design in mind or if not, put into a place on your roof where they are out of sight, out of mind.
