Grid Connect Solar & Battery Systems
Why invest in solar?
- Do you want to save money on your next electricity bill?
- Do you want to power your home or business with clean energy?
- Do you want to be less dependent on the big energy retailers?
- Do you want to add value to your property?
- Do you want to make a difference?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you may want to consider a grid connect solar power system. Over 2 million Australian households and businesses have already joined the green revolution and installed solar on their rooftops. It is not too late, you too can save and reduce your environmental footprint.
A grid connected solar power system will supply your household with energy and, if you consume less than you produce, feed the surplus to the electricity grid. Surplus energy is usually metered and credited to your power bill (depending on what State you are in and what retailer you are with). By now, most energy retailers offer at least one plan with feed-in tariffs starting at 5ยข per kWh.
Grid Connect Solar Components
A grid connect solar system is not very complex. It essentially consists of solar panels and an inverter. The inverter converts the DC electricity from the solar panels into 230V AC for the grid. Inverters are small and can be mounted on the inside or outside of your house. The solar panels are ideally mounted on a north facing roof. You could also mount the panels on a pole or ground frame if your roof is facing 'the wrong way'.

Maintenance
Solar panels and inverters require minimum maintenance as they do not have any moving parts. Rain will usually keep the panels clean. Today's solar panels come with a 25-year performance warranty, but are designed to last 50 years or more. View the components that we use.
