Solar Panels
Have you considered solar panels for your home…?
Our customers mention many reasons for going solar but one that comes up again and again is the cost savings. With bills sky rocketing well past $1000 per year and further pain expected later this year electricity has over taken telephone, mobile, internet, water, and even groceries as the biggest pain for most households.
The future for electricity…
With solar it’s not a matter of if… it’s when. We know this as the rest of the developed world has already made the transition and proven the tried and tested method of solar energy.
With the direction electricity is heading there will be a solar solution on every second Australian home by 2020, it just depends whether you want the generous rebates the Government offers now or the annual reduction they will enforce until the rebates phase out completely in 2015.
Benefits to you….
On top of the electricity you can sell back to the grid and the additional capital value of your home you are also supporting the Governments responsible decision to reduce our carbon emissions. The government is committed, along with most of the developed nations in the world, to reducing carbon emissions and 20% of all energy produced will be from renewable energy sources by 2020.
The solar alternative
Solar can be fitted on to practically any roof, in any location in Australia by our accredited installers.
Households across Australia face steadily rising power bills as each state announces inevitable electricity price hikes. Below you will find the current quarterly bill projections for the next 9 years

The Government is committed to reducing household carbon emissions by 20% by 2020, but the rebate they supply on solar purchases is set to reduce annually starting from July 2011.

What are solar panels?
Solar Panels enable you to produce solar electricity and heating from solar power.
Solar panels are made up of a number of solar cells, and when used as part of a larger solar system of panels, switch’s sunshine into energy or electricity.
Types of Solar Panels
There are solar panels for home use as well as for commercial projects. Single solar panels will create only a limited amount of power, which is why many installations use several panels. The government is keen on solar energy as a way of reducing our carbon footprint and in some areas there are solar panel grants for householders who wish to use solar energy to cut their use of regular power sources.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels use the sun’s light rays along with semiconductors, i.e., materials designed to conduct electricity, to adapt the sun’s rays into electric currents. The majority of solar panels are made up of thin film cells that are silicone based and are connected and used as part of a larger system to generate electricity.
In order for solar panels and the cells within those panels to operate successfully, they have to be connected to each other and to the system as a whole. Solar panels are laid next to each other, because together, they produce a higher current. Manufacturers are careful to ensure that solar panels are protected from damage both during the manufacturing process and in the transport and delivery of the panels to various suppliers.
Solar panels and solar inverters
The energy generated from solar panels is more practical when inverters are used and the electricity connected to the national grid, so that energy which is not consumed is fed back into the grid which, in turn, provides domestic users with cash back incentives from their power suppliers.
