WHY RENEWABLES?
Renewables
If you are contemplating solar then talk to us, we are accredited by the Clean Energy Council of Australia (CEC) .
We take a different approach to others in the industry when it comes to sizing your system. Past electricity bills don't necessarily provide an accurate indication of your load profile (how you consume energy), they typically provide your month-to-month energy consumption. We prefer to understand your load profile and design the system to your specific requirements, e.g. residential, commercial, grid-connected or off-grid.

Some food for thought if you are considering solar on a home:
​
-
The CEC are the peak body for the clean energy industry in Australia. There is a wealth of information on their website that is worth a look.
-
Your geographical location, the 4 seasons and solar panel location are a few factors that affect solar panel energy production.
-
Solar panels produce energy during daylight hours only and are very inefficient, even the most efficient panels on the market are less than %25 efficient.
-
An Inverter transforms energy produced by solar panels into energy that can be used by household appliances. The inverter also feeds the excess energy being produced by the panels back into the utility grid.
-
A family's household energy demand may be higher on weekends and between 3pm through to the evening during the week. If this sounds like you then based on the previous points how would you get value for money out of a 5kW system advertised on the TV?
-
Batteries provide storage capacity for excess energy rather than feeding back to the grid. They provide the stored energy to the inverter when solar panel energy production is below what is required to run all appliances, e.g. nighttime. It's only through the use of batteries that you can reduce your bill close to zero. Why close to zero and not zero? Basically you remain connected to the grid as a backup power source and you still pay a small fee for that.
