Frequently Asked Questions
Energy Savings: Solar panels can significantly reduce electricity bills by generating free power from the sun.
Environmentally Friendly: Solar energy is renewable, clean, and reduces carbon emissions.
Government Incentives: There are various government rebates and incentives available, such as the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), which can make solar installation more affordable.
Increase in Property Value: Homes with solar panels often see an increase in property value.
The cost of solar panels can vary based on the size of the system, brand, and installation requirements. On average, a 6.6 kW system can cost between $7,000 to $9,000, but this cost is often reduced by government rebates.
The size of the solar system you need depends on factors like your electricity consumption, roof space, budget, and whether you want to install a battery storage system. An energy audit or consultation with a solar provider can help you determine the best system size.
Yes, Australia has several rebates and incentives. The most common is the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme (STC), which provides financial incentives for installing solar systems. Additionally, some states and territories offer their own subsidies or rebate programs.
The payback period typically ranges from 4 to 7 years, depending on the system size, energy consumption, and electricity rates. The time frame may be shorter with government rebates and incentives.
Solar panels require very little maintenance. Regular cleaning (usually once or twice a year) to remove dirt and debris is recommended. You may also need to have the inverter checked every few years.
Solar panels generate less electricity on cloudy days but still work, as they can capture diffused sunlight. At night, solar panels don’t produce energy unless you have a battery storage system to store excess energy during the day.
Grid-Connected: These systems are connected to the main electricity grid, allowing you to export excess energy back to the grid and import energy when needed.
Off-Grid: These systems are not connected to the grid and rely entirely on battery storage to supply power.
Most solar panels have a lifespan of around 25 to 30 years, with a performance warranty guaranteeing that they will produce at least 80% of their original capacity during that time.
In most cases, council approval is not required to install solar panels. However, you may need to notify your local council or building authority if you live in a heritage area or have specific zoning requirements. Always check with your local council or a licensed installer to ensure compliance.
Net metering is the process of selling excess solar energy back to the grid. The electricity retailer buys the surplus power, typically at a lower rate than what you pay for grid electricity, but it still helps reduce your overall energy costs.
While DIY solar panel kits are available, it is strongly recommended to have a licensed solar installer handle the installation. This ensures the system is safe, complies with local regulations, and qualifies for government rebates and incentives.
Solar battery storage can be a great investment if you want to maximize your solar energy usage, especially if you want to store excess energy for use at night or during cloudy days. However, battery systems can be expensive, so the payback period may be longer.
If your system breaks down or is underperforming, most solar providers offer warranties for both the panels and the inverter. Panels generally come with a 10-25 year performance warranty, while inverters often have a 5-10 year warranty. It's important to have a qualified technician diagnose and repair any issues.
Yes, even if you have a small roof or live in a unit, you can still install solar panels. Some solutions, like micro-inverters or solar power-sharing arrangements in multi-dwelling buildings, can be used to optimize the use of available space.
