Solar Power FAQs
What are the benefits of installing solar power?
Solar power can significantly reduce your electricity bills, increase your property value, and decrease your carbon footprint. Additionally, with government incentives and rebates, the cost of installation can be more affordable.
What government incentives are available for solar power in Australia?
The main incentive is the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), which provides Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for eligible systems. Additionally, some states offer specific rebates and subsidies, such as the Victorian Solar Homes Program and the South Australian Home Battery Scheme.
See details hereHow do STCs work?
STCs are a form of rebate provided under the SRES. The number of STCs you receive depends on the size and location of your solar system and the year of installation. These certificates can be sold to reduce the upfront cost of your solar power system.
What is a feed-in tariff?
A feed-in tariff is a payment you receive for excess electricity that your solar system generates and exports back to the grid. The rate varies by state and by electricity retailer.
How much will I save on my electricity bill with solar power?
Savings depend on your electricity consumption, the size of your solar system, and how much sunlight your location receives. On average, a 5kW system can save a household up to $1,500 per year on electricity bills.
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels typically come with a warranty of 25 years and can last even longer with proper maintenance. Most inverters have a warranty of 5 to 10 years.
Do solar panels work during a blackout?
Standard grid-tied solar systems will not work during a blackout for safety reasons. However, if you have a solar battery storage system, it can provide power during an outage.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. It is recommended to clean them a few times a year to remove dirt and debris. Regular inspections can ensure they are working efficiently.
Can I add battery storage to my existing solar system?
Yes, many solar power systems can be upgraded with battery storage. This allows you to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during power outages.
