Energy Independence

Low Maintenance

Solar panels have no moving parts, so other than an annual hosing down (for dust or any other natural build up) they can sit on your roof working efficiently with no extra support from you, for many years and decades. Think about other investments you make and all the time and effort you put into them, and then consider the minimal effort you have to put in to what many consider a similar return in converting to solar.

Autonomous

We deal in mainly grid connected systems, but occasionally we have requests for fully self sufficient solar power systems which are not connected to the electricity grid. This isn’t really an option for people in metropolitan areas, but for homes in regional areas of Australia it’s an increasingly viable alternative for solar and a realistic benefit of switching to solar.

With off grid solar power systems you have no connection or interaction with power companies meaning you have no annual connection fees or power bills, this also means you are saved from the power outages that seem to be happening with more and more regularity.

Obviously the solar investment is larger because the install is considerably more detailed and you have to invest in a solar storage facility, which are still fairly unrealistically priced, but as the technology improves and the price decreases these will become a more viable option and allow every Australian to turn their home into a micro power station.

Easy to Install

A final benefit of converting to solar is the ease of install. Sun Connect’s Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited solar installers can have the system up and installed within one day. Thinking about the time involved in wind energy or any other large scale renewable conversions makes this one day installation another major reason and factor to choosing solar panels in reducing your impact on the environment and getting the best return on your investment.
