BENEFITS OF A SOLAR PV ARRAY SYSTEM

---

• A home's solar power system's initial start-up & set-up costs should be viewed as an investment that pays for itself over time. 

• Solar panels harness the Sun's energy and convert it into electricity that can readily be used to power the home & all of its appliances. You would normally be paying for this. 

• As you generate energy from your rooftop solar panels, you use less from the main power grid, allowing money to be saved on your next electricity bill. In most cases, when your panels generate more electricity than your household requires, you can export electricity back to the power grid at the agreed price (feed in tariff) with your energy retailer. 

NOT SO FUN FACT - Electricity prices have increased in Australia by more than 30% in the last 4 years. Don't be left in the dark, more people everyday are choosing cheaper & renewable sources of energy.  

• When purchasing a solar system, you are greatly reducing your carbon footprint. Solar energy is green, clean & renewable, unlike traditional sources of electricity from the power grid. 
• Most people are unaware of the fact that traditional  sources of energy can use ridiculous amounts of water (cooling generators, processing & refining fuel).  The operation of solar photovoltaic cells doesn't use a single drop. In our drought prone Aussie landscape, help save this precious resource. 

FUN FACT - Did you know that Australia possesses the highest solar radiation per square metre of any continent in the world. 

• Your solar system's efficiency depends on the size of your system (kW), the types of panels & where your home is located (roof direction / angle for optimal solar exposure). * For example; A bigger system with more panels can help save you more money during winter & on overcast days.   

• The efficiency of your system & how much electricity your home uses will determine how much electricity is used from the power grid. It's very important to check how much electricity you use and when you're using it, before getting a solar system installed.  

• Shading* - Solar panels work best when there is no shade casting onto the panels. A shadow casting on even ONE of the panels can potentially compromise the output of the whole system. Unlike most Solar Retailers, we won't push customers into installations that won't receive the financial  benefits / optimal efficiency of the system.  

• Partial shading can be managed with the use of optimizers. We'd be more than happy to have a chat about optimizers, how they work & their benefits. Talk to us today.
