Yes, they should power your daytime use of dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, swimming pool filters and air-conditioners.

A solar inverter is an electrical converter which converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical network.

Inverters are usually installed on the wall of a garage, hallway, laundry or storage cupboard. They allow you to see how much power is being generated by your solar panels throughout the day, either by reading the inverter itself or by checking online or via an app on your smartphone.

We recommend LG Chem and Tesla batteries because they’re both reliable, well-established brands with offices in Australia that offer good warranties and support.

That depends on your property size and energy requirements. We’ll be happy to visit your home or business to work out how many panels you need.  Contact us now to request a free home visit and get an independent appraisal for your unique property and energy needs

To store solar power, you need a battery system. This will allow you to use the energy generated during daylight hours to also power your home or business after dark. Batteries are a considerable investment and we can help you work out if they would be a good investment for you.

We currently recommend that most of our home solar customers choose to install a battery-ready system rather than buy a battery now. That’s because we believe the cost of batteries will come down in the future at which point they will become a good investment.

Contact us to book a free home visit and get an independent appraisal for your property. Then we can help you decide if a battery-ready solar system is right for you or if it makes sense to install a battery system now.

That depends on your property size and energy usage but usually at least 10 panels are needed. We’ll be happy to visit your home or business to work out how many panels you need. Use our online form to find out more.

The Federal Government solar rebate is still in effect and can be explained in this way. Depending on your location in Australia and the size of your system, it will be eligible for a number of credits called Small Technology Certificates or STC’s. For instance, the most common size system installed in homes now is a 5 kW inverter with 6.6kW of panels. The panels of 6.6kW are eligible in 2018 Sunshine Coast for 118 STCs. Each STC has a market value that fluctuates based on the demand for the purchase of STC’s that energy-intensive companies are required to purchase to offset their energy use. Currently, the market value of the STC is at $36 and so 36 x 118 = $4248 which is deducted from the Customers whole system price if the customer elects to sign the STCs over to the Solar Installer who will then claim them to offset the discounted solar price. A customer is entitled not to sign over the STCs and claim them personally, however, the customer will be required to pay the full system price. In 99.99% of transactions, the customer will assign the STCs to the installer and pay for the discounted price.

For an in depth explanation of the STCs see the official government page.
