Residential Solar Installation
Do you find yourself thinking twice before turning on that air-conditioner? Or dreading the day the energy bill comes in the mail? Interested in harnessing the sun’s free energy for your home?
How Do Solar Systems Work?
Solar panels, also known as Photovoltaic (PV) systems, capture the sun’s energy and transform it into useable electricity, even on a cloudy day. The direct current (DC) produced by the sun is fed into a solar inverter that turns it into alternating current (AC) that can power your home. Solar PV systems will cleverly instruct your home appliances to prioritise solar electricity before ‘buying’ grid electricity.
The electrical meter measures the amount of electricity your solar system generates. If your system produces more power than your house consumes, the surplus is then exported to the grid to be utilised by the utility company, who will pay you a feed-in tariff (FIT). They are essentially buying energy from you. Now, that’s power!
When solar panels are not generating electricity during the night, your power will come from the grid, and you will be charged by the utility company as usual.
Why Invest in Solar Panels?
Reduces Electricity Bills
Sunlight is completely free! Solar systems allow you to harness the sun’s energy to generate electricity, thus significantly reducing the energy you purchase from your utility company. Not only that, any excess energy generated by your solar system will be exported to the grid for use by your utility company and you will receive FIT.
At Nepean Solar Solutions, we design your solar system so that you can maximise your return on investment each year, aiming to give you a payback period of 3 years *
* This turnover period is dependant on the customer using their PV system efficiently. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure that you are getting the most out of your investment.
Environmentally Friendly and Renewable Energy
Solar power is a form of renewable energy that does not release harmful greenhouse gas emissions. So long as there is sun, you will able to reap the benefits of solar power.
Our solar PV systems automatically calculate your annual greenhouse gas emission reduction, allowing you to fully appreciate your contribution to the climate change effort.
Government Benefits
Under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, solar PV systems are entitled to several small-scale technology certificates (STCs). STCs can be created after the installation of your solar PV system. The number of STCs assigned to you is based on the location and date of the system installation as well as the amount of electricity in megawatt hours (MWh) generated by the solar panel. As a guide, one STC is equal to one-megawatt hour of eligible renewable electricity either generated or displaced by the system online STC calculator
STCs are a commodity that can be traded online to agents in exchange for discounts or cash payments. To put it simply, this means the cost of purchasing your solar PV system is subsidised by the government up to a particular value.
Low Maintenance
Once installed, your solar system will need very little attention from you. Simply keep up with regular maintenance cleaning of your solar panels every 1-2 years. It’s as hassle-free as that!
Our [comprehensive maintenance package] will do all the heavy lifting, so you can rest assured that your investment is protected.
